Louise Brooks with John Wayne and Ray Corrigan
Republic Pictures Publicity Photograph for OVERLAND STAGE RAIDERS
August 1938 · Hollywood, California

For her final screen appearance, Brooks would brush shoulders with John Wayne, who was perched on the brink of stardom. The next year, Wayne would finally obtain fame as The Ringo Kid in Stagecoach. OVERLAND STAGE RAIDERS was a textbook B-movie example of two stars touching briefly as they followed their opposite trajectories in filmdom.
