This is a 1000–piece puzzle based on the 2004 37–cent Commemorative stamp honoring John Wayne. The fully assembled puzzle is 20 inches wide by 27 inches tall.
Released on September 9, 2004, John Wayne (1907–1979) was the tenth stamp in the U.S. Postal Service’s® Legends of Hollywood series. Artist Drew Struzan based his painting for the stamp on a black–and–white publicity still of Wayne taken during the filming of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). In that movie, Wayne portrayed rancher Tom Doniphon.
John Wayne played many memorable roles during his 50–year career, but he is perhaps best known for characters exhibiting the rugged individualism associated with the American cowboy. He won an Academy Award for his role as Rooster Cogburn, the one–eyed marshal in True Grit (1969). In an effort to continue John Wayne’s fight against cancer, the John Wayne Foundation was established in his memory.
