Sam Elliott Went To The ‘Tombstone’ Set Just To Watch Val Kilmer Work😍
When Tombstone came out in 1993, it blew audiences away. The cast included greats like Kurt Russell, Sam Elliott, and Bill Paxton. On top of that, it was a great retelling of the legend of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. However, Val Kilmer was the real star of the film. His portrayal of Doc Holliday is nothing short of iconic. Even now, almost thirty years later, fans are raving about Kilmer’s outstanding performance.
However, before fans got a glimpse of Kilmer’s turn as Holliday, Sam Elliott took notice. He worked alongside him on the film and was so impressed by what he saw that he showed up on his days off just to watch Val Kilmer work. For anyone else, that would be impressive. However, Elliott prefers to be at home with his family and away from Hollywood as often as possible. So, his showing up speaks volumes to the level of admiration he had for his co-star’s performance. Recently, Sam Elliott sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss his involvement in the Yellowstone prequel series 1883 and the rest of his long career. Of course, Tombstone came up in the conversation.
The interviewer asked if Sam Elliot had watched Val Kilmer’s documentary and added that it contains great production footage from Tombstone. “I am embarrassed to say that I have not seen it yet, but I have heard nothing but raves about it,” Sam Elliot said. He added that Tombstone fans are especially vocal about their love of the documentary. He also added that he’s a huge fan of Val Kilmer. “I would go to the Tombstone set and watch Val work even when I wasn’t called that day. What he did with Doc Holliday, to me, was the best stuff in the film.” It would be hard to find anyone who disagrees. Sam Elliot’s respect for Val Kilmer goes beyond his work on Tombstone. In fact, it goes beyond his impressive acting chops. “Val Kilmer is a good man and he’s a brilliant actor,” Elliot told The Hollywood Reporter.

Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?
Native Tribes of North America Mapped
❤️Order from here: https://www.nativebloodstore.com/poster21
The ancestors of living Native Americans arrived in North America about 15 thousand years ago.
As a result, a wide diversity of communities, societies, and cultures finally developed on the continent over the millennia. The population figure for Indigenous peoples in the Americas before the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus was 70 million or more.
About 562 tribes inhabited the contiguous U.S. territory. Ten largest North American Indian tribes: Arikara, Cherokee, Iroquois, Pawnee, Sioux, Apache, Eskimo, Comanche, Choctaw, Cree, Ojibwa, Mohawk, Cheyenne, Navajo, Seminole, Hope, Shoshone, Mohican, Shawnee, Mi’kmaq, Paiute, Wampanoag, Ho-Chunk, Chumash, Haida. Below is the tribal map of Pre-European North America.
The old map below gives a Native American perspective by placing the tribes in full flower ~ the “Glory Days.” It is pre-contact from across the eastern sea or, at least, before that contact seriously affected change. Stretching over 400 years, the time of contact was quite different from tribe to tribe.
For instance, the “Glory Days” of the Maya and Aztec came to an end very long before the interior tribes of other areas, with some still resisting almost until the 20th Century. At one time, numbering in the millions, the native peoples spoke close to 4,000 languages. The Americas’ European conquest, which began in 1492, ended in a sharp drop in the Native American population through epidemics, hostilities, ethnic cleansing, and slavery.
When the United States was founded, established Native American tribes were viewed as semi-independent nations, as they commonly lived in communities separate from white immigrants.
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy.
