  • Made for television, I Married Wyatt Earp was based on the autobiography
    of Josephine Marcus "Josie" Earp, second wife of the fabled lawman.
    Born into a middle-class Jewish family in San Francisco, Josephine (played by Marie Osmond)
    headed to the Wide Open Spaces in hopes of becoming an opera star.
    Along the way, she crossed paths with Marshall Wyatt Earp (Bruce Boxleitner),
    to whom she was married for 27 years.
    Befitting its legendary subject, the teleplay stretches the truth a mite,
    depicting Josephine as a witness to the Gunfight at the OK Corral in 1881.
    In truth, she did not become Mrs. Earp until 1908.
    Also expanded upon for dramatic purposes is a reported romantic triangle between Josie,
    Wyatt, and corrupt sheriff John Behan (John Bennett Perry) --
    not to mention a wholly fabricated episode depicting the heroine as being a "fast gun" in her own right.
    Ross Martin makes his final movie appearance in the role of Jacob Speigler.
    Filmed in 1981, I Married Wyatt Earp was eventually aired by NBC on January 10, 1983.
