It Came Together
Even though they did not get off on the right foot, things soon fell into place. Sam Elliott might have gotten challenged by the director, but the actor did not back down. Elliott only looked him in the eye. He narrated, “Just looked him right back in the eye and said, ‘I don’t know, am I gonna have trouble with you?’ And he just laughed and said, ‘Ah, we’re gonna get along fine.’ So we got along good.”

About Friendship
Val Kilmer has talked about the bond between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. He was struck by the strength of their friendship. “Their bond and strange empathy with each other is really attractive,” the actor explained. “It’s very clear, yet it’s also mysterious. [There’s] this lawman [Wyatt Earp], who finally gets a chance to make some money and relax and have fun like every other American, then he gets pulled back into doing the right thing. I mean, who doesn’t want to just run away and live on an island somewhere? But it’s a very American tradition—you gotta do the right thing…And his best friend [Doc Holliday] is kinda crazy… It’s quite possible he’s a psychopath. But he’s so funny.”
