The last bar bet you won

Yup
(from http://experts.about.com/q/Wayne-John-1509/John-Wayne-movies.htm )

John Wayne died in 8 films for definite, and a further two, depending on how you want to look at it.

"Central Airport"
"Reap the Wild Wind"
"The Fighting Seabees"
"Wake of the Red Witch"
"The Sands of Iwo Jima"
"The Alamo"
"The Cowboys"
"The Shootist"

He was already dead at the start of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", and most of the film is a flashback to when he was alive. It is just stated that he died, but there is no actual death scene.

In "The Sea Chase" it is left to the audience to decide whether or not he died. The romantic among us like to think that he and Lana Turner were able to escape from the sinking ship at the end of the film, but it is not made clear.

hmm, i await my next pub quiz

I won €5 betting that Mister Monkey would know the name of the bloke who commissioned the Taj Mahal. That is my favourite sort of bet. I don't even have to know anything.

"Bed of Roses" is a song by Bon Joví, not Guns'n'Roses. The girl who lost the bet had to do five minutes of aerobics to the tune of a Finnish schlager.

Jo Whiley is 41.

41? Seriously? I would have thought she was older than that.

Nigella Lawson is 46.

Moaning Myrtle off Harry Potter is 41. I can't get my head around that.

john wayne only died after 'the shootist'

I should have explained that I meant "characters played by John Wayne in films" to avoid this mix up.

Yeah, John Wayne the person died after all his films.
