AUDIE MURPHY IN TOMBSTONE AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA
Some folks think that the only time Audie Murphy was in Tombstone was when one of his pictures was playing at the Crystal Theatre. Actually Audie Murphy visited Tombstone no less than 12 times while he was filming at Old Tucson Studios. At the time he was as popular as the biggest stars are today and he just wanted to be by himself. He did not like the notoriety of always being on display so he would visit Tombstone wearing a disguise so nobody would recognize him.
Audie owned a number of ranches for horse breeding and training. One of these was a ranch in Vail, Arizona called the TM Ranch which was named after his son Terrance Michael Murphy. Audie adored the open quiet of southern Arizona.
