Today is actor Patrick Wayne's 84th birthday.
He was born Patrick John Morrison on July 15, 1939 and took the stage name of Patrick Wayne when he became an actor in is own right.
From Western Trails Stars of the Silver Screen:
He is the second son of movie star John Wayne and his first wife, Josephine Alicia Saenz. He made over 40 films in his career, including nine with his father. Patrick made his film debut at age 11 in his father's Rio Grande (1950). He followed that with films directed by family friend and iconic director John Ford. He also starred in the popular matinée fantasy Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977), then The People That Time Forgot (1977).

I met Wayne last year outside of Ridgway, Colorado while attending the John Wayne Cancer Foundation marathons. He's a real nice guy and I enjoyed chatting with him.
Happy Birthday, Patrick!
