"The American Film Institute was founded by a 1965 presidential mandate announced in the Rose Garden of the White House by Lyndon B. Johnson—to establish a national arts organization to preserve the legacy of American film heritage, educate the next generation of filmmakers, and honor the artists and their work. Two years later, in 1967, AFI was established, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Motion Picture Association of America and the Ford Foundation."

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in The Quiet Man

... that Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne (both pictured in The Quiet Man) had such a strong rapport on screen that some people believed they were married in real life?

"Director Budd Boetticher believed that Wayne's chemistry with O'Hara was "head and shoulders" over that with any other leading ladies. (p 172) Many people mistook O'Hara for Wayne's wife over the years. At airports all over the world, she met people who asked her if John Wayne was coming too ... One time when she was waiting in line to see Wayne's film Cahill, a woman came up to her and said, "Oh, Mrs. Wayne, your son [Michael Wayne] just went in." (p 173)1

ALT1:... that Maureen O'Hara believed the Quiet Man film she made with John Wayne (both pictured) was "lightning in a bottle"?
