- Kurt Russell (Wyatt Earp) First, a brief kudos: without Kurt Russell, there’s a good chance Tombstone doesn’t get finished. When Kevin Jarre was removed as the original director of the movie, George P. Cosmatos took his place, but Kurt Russell was often the creative force behind the production.
- Val Kilmer (Doc Holliday) The past few years have been ones of reflection for Val Kilmer, who began a battle with throat cancer beginning in 2015. Several rounds of chemotherapy and tracheotomies over the years force Kilmer to use a voice-box to speak today.
- Sam Elliott (Virgil Earp) Being in his late 70s hasn’t slowed down Sam Elliott. Case in point: his recent success on 1883, the Yellowstone prequel that stands on its own as one of the best Western miniseries ever.
- Bill Paxton (Morgan Earp) When Bill Paxton appeared in Tombstone, he already had a number of successful films under his belt, including Stripes (1981), The Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986).
- Randolph Scott in Frontier Marshal (1939) This film was the second production based on Arthur Lake’s largely fictitious book. Randolph Scott plays Earp, turning in an effortless performance over a career that spawned many such roles, and the charismatic Cesar Romero plays “Doc Halliday” (that’s hard on the ears—why the change from the factual Holliday?).
- Henry Fonda in My Darling Clementine (1946) I enjoy Henry Fonda’s quiet, gentlemanly Wyatt Earp who stands up when a lady enters his presence and how he leisurely rocks back in his chair on the front stoop as he studies the town of Tombstone swirling around him.
- Hugh O’Brian in The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955-1961) According to Wikipedia, Hugh O'Brian was picked for the role because of his physical resemblance to early photographs of Earp.
- Burt Lancaster in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) This was the definitive big screen telling of the Earp legend until Tombstone in the early 1990s. Burt Lancaster plays a likable, strong Earp and adding Kirk Douglas as Holliday makes for harmonious chemistry.

Burns, Lake, and the films were the glorifiers. They would be followed by the debunkers, the likes ofFrank Waters and Ed Bartholomew, who portrayed Earp as the villainous head of a crime operation. The debunkers would be followed by the fabulists, a group of writers who fabricated stories for fun and profit. Glenn Boyer and Wayne Montgomery would b...
We were all starting anew. What was once believed as gospel truth about Wyatt Earp, his adventures, and those who surrounded him had been washed away, and we had to start over. A whole new beginning. Most of the articles in A Wyatt Earp Anthology: Long May His Story Be Told represent the new era of Earp research, the post-fabricator period where re...
So who was Earp? A glory hound or the same man who had shied from publicity for so many long years, trying to avoid undue attention? Or, does it make him a very human character who clumsily tried to adjust to different situations? A simple man of great complexity. I believe all this makes for a far more interesting Wyatt Earp. He made many mistakes...
