John Wayne’s furious unearthed letter to Ronald Reagan over controversial Panama Canal

The western legend lashed out at the actor-turned-politician in a brutal dressing down over "misinformation".

John Wayne, the Oscar-winning action hero whose films can be watched on BBC iPlayer, once became embroiled in a bitter war of words with Ronald Reagan, the Republican politician who led the US between 1981 and 1989. Though Wayne tried to steer clear of politics, his beliefs were often detailed due to his high-profile career, which culminated in his Academy Award win for Best Actor through his work on True Grit in 1969.
