What Happened To John Wayne's Children?

According to Wide Open Country, Wayne's two oldest children were Michael Anthony Morrison and Mary Antonia Wayne LaCava, born to him and his first wife, Josephine Saenz.

Like his siblings and half-siblings, Michael learned his way around movie sets by appearing in cameo roles in his father's films. However, he stuck with the movie industry and, according to Classic Country Music, worked his way up from production assistant to producer, even producing some of his father's films. Further, he served on the board of The John Wayne Foundation and worked with his dad's film company, Batjac Productions. He died in 2003.

Michael's sister, who went by the name "Toni," also appeared in some of her father's films, before marrying, having children, and ditching the film industry for a quiet life of anonymity as a wife and mother. She died in 2000, with Country Thang Daily claiming her death was due to cancer.
