My resepect for Lee Marvin is gigantic. Death Hunt is one of my favourite movies with two of my favourite actors Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson - fantastic!
A friend of mine knew him personally. Lee loved playing practical jokes. I wish I could have gone drinking with him. Imagine the stories he could have told...
The shit. totally one of the badass's just like we imagine em to have to be....Hes kicking someones ass where ever he is...along with his pal John Wayne...
@ 455transam it was NOT alcohol NOR cirrhossis of the liver that killed Lee Marvin.
he had emphysema from his excessive smoking and was in the hospital in late1986 and had surgery and died in 1987 after suffering a heart attack while in the hospital for 2 weeks
he is resting in peace at The Arlington National Cemetery
Lee was one of many great male actors from that era, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart...so many more and I miss them. They had class, they were well trained and they put forth the effort to make their characters believable. And when you listen to their voices there is something special there that the current stable of stars just don't have.
One TOUGH Mother fucker!! God he is missed already. he taught many of the legends after him how to do it., Now that means he was a god unto himself. NO way they make em like that again. :) Glad to see the Sons of Lee Marvin honor him. -UW
God bless your soul Lee Marvin one hell of a fine actor! If Hollywood only had a few like you these days and a bit of good writing going to the cinema would be worth it again.
@Drunkhandpuppet I don't go to shows anymore. Have not since a kid because these actors are all dead or dying out. Nobody worth seeing today. All beta males or sissies. So much PC today. tired of that. So tired of the bull of today.
Graet actor, hard-partying maverick. POINT BLANK is his best, made me want to visit Alcatraz. Would've been a better choice than Steve McQueen for the fire-chief in Towering Inferno. Would've loved to see Spielberg control him if he'd chosen to play Quint in JAWS. R.I.P.
i must disagree respectfully. i think that Lee Marvin's best performance was in Cat Ballou or Hell In the Pacific. the first one he received an Oscar and the second won tended to rehabilitate his horrific memories of world war 2.
Lee was 63 when he died of his illness, not old at all and what a Great actor and a Great star. Even now, over 20 years after his death he still has a legion of fans who love him and his films. A True Legend of Hollywood.
2:49 - that is lee....like my grandfather - hard drinking, hard womanising and hard living and good looking. Thanks for vid and music - perfect match.
The old school movie tough guys were the best and Marvin was one of the tops, though I'm more of a Bronson/Eastwood fan myself. Whether a cop or a creep they didn't give a shit about anything and would smack an out-of-line bitch without blinking an eye. Today's movie tough guys are pussies in comparison.
one of my favorite actors ever...back when real men were on screen...not these pansy asses of today...a real tough guy...that was great at comedy....i miss him,jimmy stewart and john wayne.....cunn beat me to it but...semper fi lee....a true great
~He WAS born under a "wanderin star", the epitomie of a man, charming, caring and he put his woman first... he won my heart with his songs...because his voice was like no other!!!!
I simply love the man. He was so good, the ultimate scene stealer. You can't take your eyes off him. He would eat these guys today for lunch and ask for seconds. I'm going to washington this summer to visit his tombstone. Semper Fi Lee Marvin.
they just don't make son of a bitches like this anymore.
