 Aissa became interested in performing at a young age since her parents frequently took her to the sets of their films and TV shows. Aissa was a member of the school’s theatrical club and appeared in plays while attending a nearby high school. She was also physically active because she participated in volleyball. She enrolled in college to pursue a law degree after matriculation in 1974.

Actress career of Aissa Wayne

Aissa made her film debut in 1960 as Lisa Angelica Dickinson in “The Alamo,” a historical adventure drama film starring her father, Richard Widmark, and Laurence Harvey about a group of soldiers facing a massive Mexican army in order to establish the new Republic of Texas in 1836. The film was a hit, winning seven prizes, including an Academy Award, and receiving eight more nominations.

Aissa played Bessie Marshall in the 1961 romantic action-adventure film “The Comancheros,” starring her father, Stuart Whitman, and Ina Balin, and about a Texas Ranger who partners up with him to find and capture The Comancheros after capturing a gambler. The picture was a box office hit, earning two Oscar nominations and receiving three more.

Aissa made her film debut as a Native Girl in “Donovan’s Reef,” a romantic adventure comedy starring her father, Lee Marvin, and Elizabeth Allen, and addressing American moral issues such as greed and the belief that one is superior than others.

Aissa has been a lawyer in Los Angeles since she retired from performing, and she is also a writer, having released her book “John Wayne: My Father” on April 1, 1998.

Relationships and love life

Aissa met Earl Lawrence Kuhle II in the late 1970s and dated for nearly two years before marrying on 3 October 1981 in a quiet ceremony attended by their closest friends and family.
Aissa gave birth to their daughter Jennifer Wayne on April 1, 1982, and their son Nicholas Kuhle on October 24, 1983. Earl and Aissa divorced in 1984 for unspecified reasons.

Aissa met orthopaedic surgeon Thomas A. Gionison on a blind date in July 1985, and after less than a year of dating, they married on 14 February 1986. They split on July 2, 1988, purportedly because Aissa was uninterested in working on their marriage or caring for their daughter Anastasia Pilar Gionis, who was born on February 14, 1987. The court granted Thomas full custody of Anastasia, citing Aissa’s emotional immaturity and inability to manage a kid on her own.

On 3 October 1988, three months after the divorce, Aissa and her new boyfriend were attacked with baseball bats by two masked men. After being beaten up, Aissa’s boyfriend stated that he might have been responsible because of a business deal he made – his statement was later removed from the record, and it was believed that the attackers were hired by Aissa’s ex-husband Thomas.

He was detained and jailed for 17 days without the option of being released on bail, but his lawyer eventually helped him get out by paying a $250,000 bond.

Aissa married Richard Putnam Robinson on March 16, 2002, but they split after several years for unexplained reasons.

Who was Aissa’s father, John Wayne?

Marion Robert Morrison, better known as John Wayne, was born on May 26, 1907, in Winterset, Iowa, USA. His zodiac sign was Gemini, and he was of American nationality. He was most known for his roles in western films such as the adventure drama “Stagecoach” in 1939, in which he co-starred with Claire Trevor and Andy Devine. And which is about a group of people travelling together until they are attacked by American Natives commanded by Geronimo. The film was a big success, winning two Academy Awards.

John was reared as a single child in Palmdale, California by Clyde Leonard Morrison and Mary ‘Molly’ Alberta Brown. John attended Glendale Union High School and was a football player there. During that time, he had an Airedale Terrier pet dog named Duke, which earned him the nickname “Little Duke.”

He hoped to join the US Naval Academy after matriculation, but his application was refused. So he enrolled at the University of Southern California on a football scholarship. However, John broke his collarbone during a surfing accident, causing him to lose his scholarship and drop out of college.

Before meeting Aissa’s mother Pilar, John married twice. His first wife, Josephine Alicia Saenz, gave birth to four of his children. While his second wife, Esperanza Baur, bore him no children. Later, Pat Stacy, his secretary, moved in with him after he divorced Pilar in 1973, and they stayed together.
