Most certainly not.

John Wayne was killed by cancer via radiation from nuclear testing - along with at least 40% of his cast and crew. "Downwinders".

Show notes:

Making John Wayne Asian is hard. Let’s talk about how difficult it was to make The Conqueror (with guest host Ryan Uytdewilligen @ryanuytdewilligen), from Howard Hughes forcing animals, actors, and sand into production, to the cast and crew inadvertently becoming nuclear fallout downwinders.
