During his lifetime, Wyatt Earp wore many hats: buffalo hunter, bodyguard, detective, bounty hunter, gambler, boxing referee, prospector, saloon keeper, Dodge City lawman, and, most notably, participant in the famed 1881 shootout at O.K. Corral. Inventing Wyatt Earp: His Life and Many Legends, new this month from the University of Nebraska Press, explains how Earp lived a life (at times embellished) that became the stuff movies are made of. 

And in fact, a movie was made about Earp in 1994. And Earp had a link to Hollywood long before that movie was made. In his later years, Earp lived in Los Angeles, acting as an adviser on films set in the Wild West. This week, Tuesday Trivia will test your knowledge of both the Wild West and its cinematic representations:
