...portrayed by Actor O'Brian, 31, onetime Marine drill instructor, Wyatt Earp now rides herd on the youngsters, makes them eat their cereal (Cheerios) and brush their teeth (with Gleem). His impeccable dress-frock coat, striped pants, silk vest, black sombrero-is a good example for the junior blue-jeans set ("Mothers love me").
