More than 40 years ago, I was an extra in a John Wayne movie.
When I saw these two covers today (from the same newspaper company in Santa Ana, California), I realized that the “Duke” was 60 when I was 20.
These covers work.
And sell.
Why?
Because nostalgia works and sells.
Heroes work and sell.
Movie stars work and sell.
Especially around Hollywood.
