Scope and content
ca. 1969. Actor Hugh O'Brian, center, with two other men on a boat, perhaps in local waters. Date of original photograph is not given but copy photo ordered by Semmern Motors on February 21, 1969. Mr. O'Brian is perhaps best identified for his role in ABC's top-rated Western, "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp," which ran from 1955-61. During WWII, he enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 17 and became the youngest drill instructor in Corps' history. Declining an appointment to the Naval Academy with the intention of enrolling in Yale, he found himself in California. To earn money for his education, he tried acting and won a contract with Universal Studios. Mr. O'Brian also is known for his many television, stage and motion picture appearances, including "No Business Like Show Business" and Broadway's "Destry Rides Again." He is the founder of Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation (HOBY) which brings together selected high school sophomores and business leaders for leadership seminars. ALBUM 7.
