We know Doc Holliday as the deadly doctor of the American West. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was 15. 6 years later, once he had graduated from dental school, he found out that he had also contracted the disease. He consulted several physicians, but they told him he had only a short time to live. Because of the illness, it forced him to find another way to earn a living.
Doc was a most unusual character. He was educated and refined. Such things were uncommon. He was fluent in Latin, played the piano very well, was a sharp dresser, and displayed the manners of a southern gentleman. His intelligence made him a “natural” at gambling, which quickly became his main means of income
Wyatt and Doc met and formed a friendship in Shanssey’s that would last for years. They met again in Tombstone and were part of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. At the end of the day Doc Holliday enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most fearless men on the frontier, and whose devotion to his friends in the climax of the fiercest ordeal was inextinguishable. If he was ever in trouble, there was a large circle of friends ready to rally, to his relief. Doc Holliday claimed he almost lost his life nine times. They attempted to hang him four times, and they shot him five times.
In the 1993 Tombstone film, Val Kilmer portrays Doc Holliday and his performance is outstanding . His wardrobe in the film was very accurate by many historians.
