(CNN) Democrats in Orange County, California, are done with The Duke, and they want John Wayne's name and likeness stripped from the county's airport. A statue of John Wayne was placed in the airport in 1982, three years after the name change. Local Democrats want it renamed Orange County Airport. John Wayne appeared in more than 150 feature films, including the 1966 Western 'El Dorado.' The same year, The John Wayne Associates commissioned sculptor Robert Summers to create a 9-foot statue of The Duke , in cowboy garb, sauntering atop a marble pedestal.
