The Duke was an icon of the silver screen to the rest of the world—and a pretty fantastic father to his 7 children! Although he had 4 children (Michael, Toni, Patrick and Melissa) with his first wife and 3 with his third wife (Aissa, Ethan, and Marissa), the siblings were always brought up as one family. When it came to fathers, the world’s toughest big screen cowboy was just a fun-loving, easy-going, great Dad.
