Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday wasn't initially expected to be a highlight of the film.
However, his outstanding performance made the character iconic and is often considered one of Kilmer's best performances.
To play Doc Holliday, who was suffering from terminal tuberculosis, Kilmer frequently lay in bed between scenes and used special makeup to create a pale, emaciated appearance.
Doc Holliday's famous line, "I'm your huckleberry," has become one of the most quoted lines in modern Western film history and contributed to the character's legendary status in popular culture.
