** Creator/MiaFarrow turned down the role of Mattie Ross. Creator/RobertMitchum, with whom she had just done a film, had told her that Henry Hathaway was cantankerous and impossible to work with. She lobbied to get Hathaway replaced by Creator/RomanPolanski, who had recently worked with her successfully in ''Film/RosemarysBaby'', but to no avail. She later said it was one of the biggest professional mistakes of her career. [[Music/{{Carpenters}} Karen Carpenter]], Creator/SallyField and Creator/JaclynSmith were also considered.

-->I was like his in-house commie. If anything went wrong on set, he'd yell, "Where's that pinko Hopper?" On ''True Grit'', he arrived one day in his helicopter, and started shouting: "My daughter went up to UCLA yesterday and that communist Stokely Carmichael made a speech using all this four-letter language, and I want that fucking pinko Hopper, I want his fucking head!" But he was always funny to me, I think he liked me. And his sons were good friends of mine. He just believed I was a communist.
*** Reportedly, Wayne refused to leave his trailer unless the studio fired Hopper for drug use. Wayne came to this conclusion because he saw white powder on Hopper's shirt, and presumed because of his hippie lifestyle, that he was snorting cocaine. Director Henry Hathaway managed to get Wayne out of his trailer when it was discovered that the "cocaine" was actually powdered sugar from a donut Hopper was eating.

* DawsonCasting: Creator/HaileeSteinfeld was 13 at the time, while Creator/JeffBridges was 61. It's a minor case for Steinfeld, who is only off by one year, but a more major one for Bridges, who like John Wayne before him is two decades olden the literary Rooster Cogburn.
