Yes.

John Wayne met Wyatt Earp while he was a young man working as an extra and prop man in Hollywood. Wayne admitted that he based his portrayals of a lawman on discussions that he had with Earp.

Did Jim varney ever play a cowboy?

He was on a TV show called "Johnny Cash and friends" also in a music video for Hank Williams Jr. and in a comedy based on decendants of Wyatt Earp-"The Rousters", you are probably thinking of one of these.


Did Wyatt Earp ever own or possess a 12 barreled Colt revolver If He did did he use it at the OK corral?

First, it should be noted that there is a lot of conflicting information even to this day about which guns Wyatt Earp did and did not use. When an Arizona museum once claimed it owned the Colt .45 that Earp used, historians were skeptical; the gun in question was manufactured several years after the event, plus there is no concrete evidence (such as ownership records) tying Earp to that gun. We do know he probably owned a Schofield .44 Smith & Wesson revolver, a very popular gun at that time. But again, there is little reliable information, and lots of myth and legend, about which guns were used during the shoot-out at the OK Corral; and it is also worth noting that many historians believe the so-called "Buntline Special" with its 12-inch barrel is also a myth.


What guns did Wyatt Earp use?

Various models throughout his career. It has long been speculated that he was given a Buntline special at one point but no such records have substantiated this claim. Although it is verified that he did in fact carry a .44 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver into the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
