John from the movie: Grey/blue John from the TV show: Brown John from the book: Green but sometime it is said they're blue Bonus: Sherlock from the movie: Grey/Dark blue Sherlock from the TV show: Light Blue Sherlock from the book: Grey but sometimes it is said that they're black
I don't know the exact answer to this, except to say that in the book, Rooster's bad eye is his left eye. That being said, Wayne's was in line with the book while Bridge's is a deviation from it. Would love to know why the Coen's chose to have their Rooster with a patch on the wrong eye.
Yes. According to the book, John Wayne: The Man Behind the Myth (Michael Munn pp13-14) one of the firefighters was a former professional boxer who gave him self defense lessons after he got a black eye from a neighborhood bully.
No, John Goodman doesn't have a glass eye.
Wayne never lost vision in either eye. He portrayed a one-eyed sheriff in True Grit and in Rooster Cogburn . But he was no more a one-eyed actor than he was a military member in World War Two.
