My parents and I met Hugh O'Brian many years ago at the height of his Wyatt Earp fame. He was, of course, extremely handsome but also warm, personable and humble. He was what a star should be and now never are. He is wonderful here. At the age of 90, he is warm, personable and humble yet again. True class never ages.

Paulette: .....You are right,...living a long life can...have different effects on people depending on life style,genetics and so forth,........not everyone can age gracefully ,...I just can not believe that this is the same Hugh O'Brian of Wyatt Earp,...I am not critical as to how he looks,....I can just Imagine the changes in life that he must have gone trough to get to this point. I always liked him ,...he's a good actor I wish him well.

His brother,Don, married my mother's friend,Jean. I was friends with Jean's son and daughter. He got us tickets to the first Ontario 500 race in 1969. I was 13 years old when we visited him at his house and needless to say,I was completely starstruck. He was a very good guy and I will always remember his kindness.

Mr. O'Brian was one of my childhood heroes. Now, knowing he served our country as a U.S. Marine, it is so humbling to see a true patriot. The mold has been broken for men like him. The greatest generation indeed. I hope you are in heaven in your glorified body, OoooRahhhhh!

I will "always" be grateful to Mr O'Brian. He (along with Liz Taylor) visited children in hospitals in the LA area back in 1957. My older sister was dying of leukemia at age 11 and they visited her there. It comforts me to think they went out of their way to do this. I never hear of this happening, today from celebrities with all their riches.

FYI, When "The Shootist", with John Wayne and many notable "A-List" actors were contracted to perform, Hugh O'Brian performed for "No Pay!" He said, (paraphrasing), "It would be an honor!"

when I first arrived in Vietnam I was assigned to a MACV Advisory team in the Mekong Delta. it was close to Christmas and a lot of Hollywood stars were showing up in all parts of the country. it just happened that Hugh O'Brian came to visit our Advisory team and gave a little demonstration of his gun skills and we all chatted about Hollywood. He never once mentioned that he was a Marine and was the most humble guy I ever met. a really nice experience.

If we live long enough we all will age. Most of the time it is not graceful. The body wears down and wears out. People place to much importance on outward appearance instead of inward.He was a nice man who had a generous heart. Hollywood could use more Hugh O'Brians today.

A very interesting interview. When I got out of the Marine Corps in 1981 I started teaching school. I had an evening job at the Hyatt Hotel on Capitol Hill as a bellman. Hugh O'Brien checked in the hotel one Saturday afternoon and I showed him up to his room. I remember he was really a bowl-legged man and he was kind of short, but a very nice man. We spoke on our way to his room and I mentioned that I had recently discharged out the Marine Corps. He lit up and told me that he was also in the Corps. He then asked me if I knew who was the youngest Marine Corps Drill Instructor in Corp history? When I told him I didn't know, he proudly told me that it was him. I was surprised and pleased. I got his autograph and left him in his room. I will never forget the time I spent with a fellow Marine and a great actor. BTW, they show Wyatt Earp reruns on the TV in this area and it is very interesting to see how realistic Hugh O Brien plays his character and how well written the script is for that time.

The Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation changed my life. It took a hick kid from Pennsylvania and opened up the world for me. I am forever grateful.

Looks pretty darn good for his age. Sounds sharp too...

God bless Hugh Obrien, and did not know he was a Marine. He seems like a sweet guy and was so handsome in his prime like James Garner. We all get old and have health issues, and like his personality .

I was an Official U.S. Army war correspondent during the Vietnam War in all of 1967 and 1968, when I served with the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One) out of it's two main basecamps at Lai Khe and Di-An. I interviewed Hugh O'Brien in Lai Khe when he visited the main Big Red One Base Camp in 1968 with a USO traveling show that entertained the troops. He was a gracious man and gave me a wonderful interview! StocktonRob

He also was very involved in philanthropy. Saw him with his group once when I was in Boston. Very handsome man as Wyatt Earp. Grateful for his service! Smart man.

He-was-so-handsome,loved-that-show.

Hugh also had only one fan club with a chapter in each state. I was the Michigan state chairperson around 1960. He liked the members to visit children in the hospital in his name. Nice memories.

I met him at a party maybe 20 years ago and he looked exactly the same as he did on Wyatt Earp. Well maybe not exactly but he looked good. He would also come to the Wyatt Earp Days in Colton California, where the Earp family settled, and he lead the parade along with my step dad, Gene Evans, a Colton native who had the TV show My Friend Flicka, about the same time as the wider series. It was an emotional treat to meet him.
