This particular portrait of John Wayne as the Ringo Kid from the 1939 classic Western drama, Stagecoach, has remained unseen by film fans everywhere until now. Ned Scott created this John Wayne photo as one of several from a photo session to support Wayne’s maverick role for the film. The Ned Scott Archive takes great pleasure in presenting this photo for the enjoyment of the many fans of the film. It is commonly known that this film energized Wayne’s career and it marked the beginning of a new genre of filmmaking. Director John Ford was quoted at a gathering of the cast members after the film that John Wayne will be the “biggest star ever” because he is the “everyman”.
