DS, four pages, 8.5 x 11, July 12, 1977. Pages two through five of an agreement in which Wayne agrees to give ABC 'the use of your services as a host, co-host or guest star in 'a series of Specials' during the term thereof, ABC may require you to perform six specials. In the event Batjac develops 'The Duke Remembers,' in the event ABC exercises its option for this additional special, ABC shall have the right to require your services in the remaining special during the 1979-1980 season. You shall be guaranteed an addition 1 million dollars payable to you.' Contract includes payments, options and provisions. Wayne died in 1979 from cancer, before being able to finish the options of the contract. Given his advanced illness during his last few years, this is probably one of the last entertainment contracts he agreed to. Signed boldly in black on page five, 'John Wayne.' In fine condition, with two binder punches and small staple holes. RRAuction COA.
