AISSA WAYNE – JOHN WAYNE’S DAUGHTER

John Wayne was unarguably an iconic actor in his own right. Nicknamed “The Duke,” he gained a reputation for his starring roles in Western movies. He was an award-winner who landed the top box office draws for several decades. Some of his notable works include Stagecoach, The Quiet Man, and True Grit. John was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal for his monumental contributions to the film industry for 50 years.

One of his kids, Aissa Wayne, wanted to follow in his footsteps in the entertainment scene, but the late actor urged her to pursue her education instead. As some of you might not know, John initially wanted to become a lawyer but carved his path in the show business. Aissa later realized her father’s vision and worked her way to pass the bar exams. She then began her family law practice in L.A.
