Art Mix
Art Mix (born George Washington Kesterson; June 18, 1896 – December 7, 1972), was an American character actor from the 1920s until the mid-1940s. Biography Prior to becoming an actor, Mix worked as a circus performer and a boxer. He initially appeared under his real name, Kesterson, before being given his stage name by Victor Adamson. Adamson calculated that a cowboy named "Art Mix" would be associated somehow with western superstar Tom Mix, and that small-town exhibitors who could not afford Tom Mix's expensive films would be likely to use cheaper films marketed with the lesser "Art Mix" brand name. Contract problems led Mix to leave Adamson and begin working for producer J. Charles Davis. Art Mix appeared in over 200 film shorts and feature films. Although most of his roles were in smaller and bit parts, he would sometimes be cast in a featured role, such as in 1932's ''Border Devils'', starring Harry Carey. He was even given an occasional leading role, as in the 1935 "B" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

John Wayne Filmography
American actor, director, and producer John Wayne (1907–1979) began working on films as an extra, prop man and stuntman, mainly for the Fox Film Corporation. He frequently worked in minor roles with director John Ford and when Raoul Walsh suggested him for the lead in ''The Big Trail'' (1930), an epic Western shot in an early widescreen process called Fox Grandeur, Ford vouched for him. Wayne's early period as a star would be brief, as Fox dropped him after only three leads. He then appeared in a string of low-budget action films (mostly Westerns) before garnering more recognition with the 1939 film ''Stagecoach''. During the 1940s and early 1950s, Wayne starred in ''Dark Command'' (1940), '' Reap the Wild Wind'' (1942), '' Wake of the Red Witch'' (1948), '' Fort Apache'' (1948), '' She Wore a Yellow Ribbon'' (1949), ''Rio Grande'' (1950), and '' Red River'' (1948).

The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto.
