So funny you should ask, as we just watched The Shootist last night on Paramount +
Enjoyed it!

There was a 20 something nurse's aid who was taking care of my dad after surgery, as I was present.
Dad and I were talking about John Wayne. She actually said, "Who's That?"
Further, and to our dismay, she said, "Is he a baseball star?, because my Dad loved Pirate baseball.
During the course of the conversation, I asked her if she knew who Mark Twain/ Samuel Clemens was. Nope!
Crickets.
