Thanks so much for this Michael. Great read on Lee Marin. He was a busy guy for sure. Navy Cross at Iwo Jima; the whole 'palimony' court case with Michelle Troila and then the movies. Youre dead right about Point Blank btw....you watch it to see Lee strutting down that corridor with the clack clack clack of his shoes. Love Cat Ballou...The Dirty Dozen.... and even Gorky Park. He played a role and you believed him. Some great stories about him on-set too
My dad and I never missed an episode of M-Squad. It was set in our hometown of Chicago and Dad would identify where all the on-location scenes were shot. The list of actors who appeared in the series includes many who were then unknown but would rise to fame in coming years.
Marvin was known so well known for his tough guy roles that it was just terrific when he won the Oscar for Cat Ballou.

Heck of an actor and Marine. He and my grandfather both hit the beaches of Saipan together in the D-Day of the Pacific
A fab read about Lee Marvin 👏 👏👏
Thanks Anthea. 🙏🏻
