For decades, John Wayne's liberal political opponents had called for his scalp. Now, on what would have been the Duke's 100th birthday, their wish has finally been fulfilled. At Juliens' recent auction of rare movie props and memorabilia, Mr. Wayne's hirsute chapeau from the 1970 western classic Chisum sold for close to $2,000. No word on how Juliens obtained the item, but we thought it was getting a little wobbly during Duke's mano-a-mano fistfight with Forrest Tucker in the film! Just call it the ultimate Wayne "hairloom".
