INDIANA, Pa. (AP) – Actor Patrick Wayne will be honored later this year by a western Pennsylvania museum dedicated to actor Jimmy Stewart.

Wayne will receive the museum’s Harvey Award for himself, and another on behalf of his late father, western star John Wayne, at an Oct. 23 ceremony.

The James M. Stewart Museum Foundation is based in Stewart’s hometown, Indiana, Pa., about 45 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

Patrick Wayne appeared in the movie Shenandoah with Stewart, while Wayne’s father appeared in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Shootist with Stewart.

Past Harvey Award winners include June Allyson, Janet Leigh, Shirley Jones, Ernest Borgnine and impressionist Rich Little. The award is named for the 1950 film in which Stewart befriends an invisible rabbit.
