Ohh, yes, "The Gunfighters" was astonishingly inaccurate. It makes "Spectre of the Gun" seem historically authentic in comparison.
But Johnny Ringo was an enemy of the Earps and was implicated in an attempt to kill Virgil Earp and Ringo was later found dead shot in the head! He was also a comrade of the Clantons and Sheriff Johnny Behan!

I think Ford claimed the shootout sequence itself was based on accounts by Earp, whom Ford could well have met at Universal in the teens or early '20s. Ford biographers have not really been able to nail that down, but the shootout is actually quite quick and matter-of-fact, not like some other highly-orchestrated versions. But certainly the story, like most Earp accounts of the day, owes much to the Stuart Lake biography, which was basically fiction. But Ford, as usual, cared more about a compelling and allegorical story than historical accuracy.

Without that makeup that looked like it was about 90% grease.

^It was always weird on Mission: Impossible how Briggs or Phelps would recruit these famous celebrities for his team -- noted stage magicians, supermodels, actresses, circus stars, etc. -- and yet nobody ever recognized them undercover, even on domestic missions. There was one story where Cinnamon Carter played herself and used her connections in the magazine industry to assist in a case, but usually nobody had any idea who she was even though she'd supposedly been on countless magazine covers.
I didn't know Tarantino published a magazine.
The Secretary disavows any knowledge of him.
I remember that, it was a novel twist on the usual formula.
