There isn't quite as much of actor Dennis Quaid to look at in his latest film "Wyatt Earp."
Director Lawrence Kadan asked Quaid to drop about 45 pounds in order to play legendary gunslinger Doc Holiday in the film."I had a nutritionist put me on 1,200 calories a day. And I'd run five to nine miles every day," Quaid said. He admits that once the film was in the can, he reverted to his usual diet of Chinese and Mexican food.
"The last day I went out and bought three banana cream pies and I think I personally ate two of them . . . My body was screaming for it!"

The slim Quaid made a convincing Doc Holiday for at least one young fan of the Western movie genre. "My son saw a picture of Doc Holiday on a book cover and went `Daddy'," Quaid said.
