How many movies did John Wayne make in his career?

Oscar-winner John Wayne, better known as “The Duke” to his fans, appeared in nearly 250 movies throughout his career, oftentimes playing the swaggering, macho hero of westerns and war epics.

His first featured film was Men Without Women (1930). After more than 70 low-budget westerns and adventures, mostly routine, Wayne's career was stuck in a rut until Ford cast him in Stagecoach (1939), the movie that made him a star.
