The internet Movie Database lists a mere 49 projects featuring Wyatt Earp as a character -- you would have thought there'd be far more.
Of those 49, the majority are TV shows. Of the feature films, only ten could be said to be primarily about Earp: Frontier Marshall, Tombstone: The Town too Tough to Die, My Darling Clementine, Wichita, Gunfight at the OK Corral, Hour of the Gun, Doc, Sunset, Tombstone, Wyatt Earp. Not a bad bunch of actors playing him, though: Randolph Scott, Richard Dix, Henry Fonda, Joel McCrea, Burt Lancaster, James Garner, Kurt Russell. Then there's Kevin Costner....
Wyatt had no known children. His brother Virgil had a daughter before the Civil War, but through misinformation concerning his wartime fate, he did not see his daughter or first wife for 35 years!
