Another great article. I've always been fascinated by the shoot out at the OK Corral, but I still need to get around to seeing a lot of the movie's about it. Now I've got a list to work from. Thanks.

Seriously?

Otherwise this has to be one of the best new article series on the site.

You're objecting to his omission I assume? If so, I must object to the fact that you didn't object to my omission of Stephen Lang, Harry Carey Jr., John Corbett, and the voice of Robert Mitchum.

Heh. I was gonna add Dana Delaney to my objection but figured Zane would hit the hardest around here.

I was just wondering today where this column went. Definitely one of my favorite new columns.

The column's only flaw is if I get extremely busy (as I was the past several weeks), it's not like I can do a planned installment a couple days late.

Also, do people consider Billy Zane a badass?

I wouldn't say badass, but between Tombstone, The Phantom and Titanic he'd have some trade.

"The human mustache."

Worth noting, I suppose, that Costner's film features what is seemingly the most historically accurate version of the Shootout.

Good point. I should have mentioned that, actually. I've amended the piece.

Cool!

There's also the matter (which you did touch on) of Earp's legacy enduring largely because Earp himself survived to keep it going into a new media age. I'm not recommending the relevant episode of The Young Indiana Jones Adventures as anything but a curiosity, but there it is.

That's part of what has always fascinated me about the "old west." When I was a kid it seemed like this disconnected far off period of time, so it blew my mind when I learned that many of these people survived well into the 20th-century.

It's also startling to learn how brief the actual 'frontier period' was, and that the emergence of the film industry was directly responsible for extending the age of the Old West.

I really hope Brownlow & Gill's Hollywood documentary series gets re-released some day. Allan Dwan's tales of fending off Edison thugs on location are ballsy stuff.
