Rooster Cogburn referred to LaBeauf's character as Texas Brush Popper and Texican
Yes, Glen Campbell's character did die in the 1969 movie version and there is an interesting blooper when last we see him. After LaBoef helps pull Mattie and Rooster out of the snake pit by using his horse, he tumbles off of the horse and onto the ground and dies. His legs are crossed - yet when Rooster and Mattie ride away and the camera looks back; his legs are uncrossed. I want to use this forum to say that the recent remake by the Cohen Brothers of "True Grit" was a good movie, but my opinion is that John Wayne made for a better Rooster Cogburn. That's not meant to detract from Jeff Bridge's rendition but I just think that John Wayne's age (61 at the time) made for a better character.
I believe that horse from the movie True Grit was Wayne's personal horse.
Yes he did and, surprisingly enough, it is the only movie he ever won an oscar for. Personaly I thought he had much better movies such as "Sands of Iwo Jima" and "The searchers" but that was the one he got it for.

John Wayne is the main actor in True Grit.
The only thing I know about this is that during filming actress Kim Darby was hard to get along with for most of the cast and crew. I don't think her and John Wayne got along at all. I guess it's a credit to their talent because onscreen the chemistry is great. Supposedly, Miss Darby was ill and that could have had an impact on how she related to the rest of the world. I do know that John Wayne and Glen Campbell got along very well and later Campbell was greatful for all the help John Wayne gave him since it was his first feature film.
Wayne was 62 when the film was released.
