"Of the 220 persons who worked on The Conqueror on location in Utah in 1955, 91 had contracted cancer as of the early 1980s and 46 died of it, including stars John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and Agnes Moorehead, and director Dick Powell. Experts say under ordinary circumstances only 30 people out of a group of that size should have gotten cancer. The cause? No one can say for sure, but many attribute the cancers to radioactive fallout from U.S. atom bomb tests in nearby Nevada."

I wouldn't say it killed him, since he made 40 movies after this one. But I will concede that from that point on the only way he rode a horse was as a cowboy.

Anyone who wishes harm on someone, or who takes satisfaction in someone's death is a moron.
