I waited on him at a dinner house, in my early 20's. He ordered 5deep fried oysters, double Shtolishnaya Vodka, no ice. I his voice, and he had nice manners

I always loved Lee Marvin. I really loved Cat Ballou because he was so great in it. I didn't realize he was such a hero.

Not long before his death, my wife and i were at a beach in Ventura Ca. An older couple came and sat about 15 feet from us. Yup, it was him! Wearing a marine corp ball cap and Aviator shades. Didnt get my attention until i heard him speak. I did not gush all over him, just said hi. He took off his shades so he could wink at my wife

Lee Marvin and other heroes deserve a human narrators, not AI. I kept going after his being awarded the "purple medal heart" but dropped out at his earning a dollar 7 for his acting. I'm sure tjere's better places to learn about Marvin's life.

In ‘Cat Ballou’
That scenewith LM riding his horse drunk filmed from ‘the back of the horses head’ view was so funny!

[francishughes]

Jeez, I always thought that Jack Palance, & Charles Bronson were genuine, real life, tough guys, & good actors, but Lee Marvin was THE REAL tough guy, & he was a great actor, as for Bronson threatening him, he would have taken Bronson apart with half trying.

Long before Lee Marvin's history came out. I knew he was a Marine.

You forgot to mention that Lee Marvin also starred in the mid 1980s Chuck Norris action film, The Delta Force.
