  • Many trace his cancer back to his work in The Conqueror, filmed about 100 miles downwind of Utah nuclear-weapons test sites due to high incidence of cancer that would occur among members of the film's cast and crew.

The same source for the other actors mentioned--Agnes Moorehead, Susan Hayward and Dick Powell. Excerpt from Hayward's page:

The pneumonia-related complications of the brain cancer which took her life at the age of 57 is traced by many to her work in The Conqueror, filmed about 100 miles downwind of certain active Utah nuclear-weapon test sites, and in sets dressed with truckloads of dirt from the area, due to the fact that the film's director (Dick Powell) and many others of the cast and crew on the set of the film (including John Wayne, Agnes Moorehead, Lee Van Cleef, Pedro Armendáriz, Thomas Gomez, Dick Powell and John Hoyt) died of cancer as well. It is claimed the story is apocryphal, but it has gained traction due to the large number of cast and crew who came to suffer from the disease.
