Val Kilmer is Doc
Holliday in Tombstone. He's the adult
Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's The Doors (91). From
a Wiki article on Jim Morrison "The Doors
took their name from the title of
Aldous Huxley's boo "Mr. Mojo Risin" is an anagram for Jim Morrison, which he uses in his song L.A. Woman.
Murder in Brentwood, Page 219: "I spent many hours in Marcia's office, watching her smoke cigarettes, a five-foot poster of Jim Morrison looming behind her desk. Marcia was very surprised to discover that I knew who Jim Morrison was and that I was a big Doors fan myself. She laughed when I told her that the only rock concert I had ever been to was the Doors in 1969. We told each other what our favorite songs were, but thank God, neither one of us started singing."
In Fuhrman's Murder in
Greenwich movie, he works in a reference to the Doors in a scene with
Tommy Skakel coming to the window of his father's Lincoln with Martha
Moxley and his brother Michael in the
front seat. Tommy, who is smoking a cigarette, asks Michael if the tape he's listening to is his Doors tape.
In the 1968 Star Trek episode called Spectre of the Gun, Captain Kirk and three of his officers are forced to reenact the gunfight at the O.K. Corral as the Clanton and McLaury brothers. In this telling of the story, the Earp brothers, Wyatt, Virgil and especially Morgan, are cold-blooded killers Sam Gilman is Wyatt's friend Doc Holliday. His birthday is February 5, Mark Fuhrman's birthday.
Another Doc Holliday link to Fuhrman that anyone who compares Tombstone to John Ford's Stagecoach will see in the Southern gambler/notorious killer character with the telescoping silver cup. Val Kilmer's Holliday had to have been patterned after John Carradine's Hatfield, who was probably patterned after the real Doc Holliday. Anytime you see John Carradine in a movie you've got a Fuhrman link because they share a February 5 birthday. It's rare to see the credits of a movie in which two actors share a birthday. Stagecoach is one of them. The birthday is Fuhrman's. The other actor with Fuhrman's birthday is Tim Holt. He plays the young cavalry officer who saves the day for all the passengers on the stagecoach – except Hatfield. |
