On the set of True Grit, John Wayne was treated like a god. He pretended not to notice. It wasn’t within his style to acknowledge how he was worshipped. It would interfere with his swagger.
He was the classic cowboy tough guy. His image was of a man who could out-survive anyone on the frontier, could out-work anyone on the prairie. He was Popeye without the spinach addiction.
Everyone on the set worked hard to make sure his look matched the myth he embodied.
No one, however, worked harder than the hairdresser. His hair was a frizzle nightmare.
