I am ashamed to admit that it took me until after Val Kilmer's passing to finally watch 1993’s Tombstone. I had long been meaning to watch director George Cosmatos’ classic Western movie inspired by the infamous O.

Val Kilmer's 'I'm your huckleberry' is one of many memorable Tombstone quotes, but where did it come from? The expression is far older than you might think.

When Alabama actor Michael Biehn appeared in 1993’s “Tombstone” alongside Val Kilmer, who died Tuesday at age 65, the two actors portrayed enemies. But watching Kilmer act left Biehn with great respect for Kilmer, who starred in iconic films like “Top Gun,” “The Doors” and “Batman Forever.”
