American Titan: Searching For John Wayne - Plot & Excerpts
As a Catholic, marriage was sacred, supposed to bring couples together, not push them apart. She talked to her husband about her feelings soon after the success of Stagecoach, that it was obvious to her he was no longer willing to play the one role she cared most about, the loving husband. Wayne knew she was right and, for his own reasons, wouldn’t be able tolerate a loveless marriage the way his father had. Instead, he found the comfort and emotional salve he needed not just from the public’s adoration for his on-screen heroics, but in real life in the arms of Claire Trevor, his costar in Stagecoach, whose affair with him paralleled both in time and intensity their on-screen romance. Wayne struggled with his guilt about it and shared his feelings about it with Ford, who had gone through his own extramarital affair with Katharine Hepburn, and it brought the two men closer together. Wayne and Ford took long sailing trips, just the two of them, with few words spoken.
