Interesting interview with an interesting man. He was an exceptional actor and highly underrated. Watching him emphasizes how real men are becoming scarce. He has a strong, down to earth presence that men are more and and more lacking. In Mr Marvin's earliest roles at a young age he appeared very much older with deep mouth lines even then. Genes and WW2 had a profound effect. Miss men like him very much.
@Calengela No matter what you think, I feel bad for you. You are probably some hipster who doesn'i go back any further than the Harold & Kumar flicks for your examples of cinematic genius. Little pissant.
@Calengela Lee Marvin was barely 18 and under fire in some of the fiercest battles ever fought in the Pacific during World War 2. He was severly wounded, most of his Marine division killed, but he survived and was decorated. He started out here in Hollywood as a bit actor but worked his way up. He played tough guys, bad guys and ultimately a brilliant parody of both for which he won an Oscar in 1965. He lived, drank, loved, and died too young. He was a man. Who the fuck are you?
@wlljon7 He was great wasn't he ?. But he loved over indulging and lived hard by the look on him here. I think he probably drank far too much though which cut his life by 10 years or so. The Dirty Dozen and Point Blank are his best films for me
There were a lot of great American movies, but most of them were done by foreign directors and writers, and these guys, Wayne and Marvin had some good movies, but they were the beginning of the mindless violence and action. Check out some of the really old movies, they were really great.
As Hitchcock said, "actors are cattle" .... furniture.
@RichardElden We actually beat the French at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, from which point we had a stronger Alliance with the germanic principalities. In 1871, the Germanic states beat the French during the Franco-Prussian war and created the Germany we know today. They seeded from France the province of Allsace/Lorraine, which was one of the basic reasons why the First World War happened.The first true entente between France and Britain, which included a naval agreement occured in 1903.
A genuine tough guy the likes of which we will never see again.... English boozer Oliver Reed was in the running to make a movie with Marvin and was flown to the U.S. so they could meet...they met and Lee Marvin looked at Reed and said 'is this the best you've got in England'?..told Reed to fuck off and walked away. The movie was never made....of course Marvin had had few drinks and probably wanted to fuck off for a few more...what a guy!
@RichardElden Interesting. He was known for drinking a quart of vodka a day. A lot of stuff came out during the palimony suit filed by Michelle Triola Marvin.
GO FUCK YOU TREE HUGGIN CUNTS!!!!!!! YES we all know smokin is very bad but so is being a smart arse with a northener!! Jeez tell me a actor who doesnt..........or wouldnt for a part in a big filimX my arsex
@cheeriosinabowl Agreed. The posters from the UK are consistently the most unnecessarily hyper-aggressive, foul mouthed, childish, classless, self-entitled idiots on the internet. The riots didn't surprise me in the least because a seemingly directionless hatred of the world as a whole has been seeping out of that country for years, like sewage. Just peruse the comments here: What kind of a person is willing to lose their dignity over a character actor who's been dead for a quarter century?
... thank you for your comments! You hit the nail on the head regarding the posters from the UK. Sad thing is a lot of them are in their 30's, 40's, 50's and even 60's and they spew hatred, unprovoked insults and just pure venom. They should should know better at that age. Britain used to "rule the waves" many years ago, but now has become the "back water" of Europe.
@Allrightteam "Agreed. The posters from the UK are consistently the most unnecessarily hyper-aggressive, foul mouthed, childish, classless, self-entitled idiots on the internet. "
You make that sound a bad thing.
Marvin's description of how he got the part in Donovan's Reef was a classic.
@oarfrost Mate, if the entire island was 66 years old, i doubt there would have been trouble. Much respect to you. Sadly we live in an age where living in England and being English are not necessarily one and the same.
wait... what about Lee Marvin brawling with a drunk Ernest Borgnine? Even better, just for laughs, how about Truman Capote slapping-it-out with Regis? I'm sorry, I love ya Reege!
Marvin played such good bad guy roles. Liberty Valance, Crow in the Commancheros, and he even made me proud as a good guy in Monte Walsh. I felt so sorry for him and Jack Palance in that movie. It takes a good actor to make you hate them or cry, and he's done both.
Age 63 is too young to die. And I think he should have played the role of Pike Bishop in The Wild Bunch. I can hear his deep voice saying,....we want Angel....
Whats up with thoes F----ng EYEBROWS!!!! What a character! Love, LOVE, Him! Last of the real men who used to be in hollywood. What we have now in Hollyweird posing as leading men…and i use the term MEN looooooosly!
John Wayne wanted to serve in the military, but after being turned down from the Naval Academy, his friends, his family, all asked him to stay in acting, as they told him he could do more good in his films and rally support than he could ever do as in the military.
I'm not sure why Wayne didn't go to the military but history shows he applied to the U.S. Naval Academy. Why he was turned down i don't know so untill someone can show me proof he dodge the military i'll just think he was one of the lucky ones. And you can think the way you want isn't that whats great about america anyway.
Donald6899 How right you are, that poser Wayne used every trick in the book to keep himself out of active service then had the brass neck to star in films about the war in which he was the hero, he made the only pro-Vietnam film ever made, the cringe-making Green Berets, he always looked to me like a phoney tough guy who would back down at the first sign of trouble, I haven't made any films but at least I saw active service in Malaya as an 18 year old, more than that prick ever did.
He's very much right about black and white. The shades, the lights and the film noir look. A lot of films it would look better if they were black and white.
i am sixty and i thought i looked old but i guess cancer can do that to some one besides that i have something else in common with his family you see my wife was told by a doctor in tulsa that she had cancer also after the surgery i saw in the news where 12 patients came down with food poisening and at least one of them died later on the news i heard where a woman came out from under anisteashia to find she was being raped for more info and to find out what happened to shrelene go to msbones1950
EXACLY! my uncle looks exacly like this since he was 60 and he's 80 now. Some people look older than what they really are. The rougher your face is the older you look.
Take a look at Charles Atlas he died at 80 and he looked in his mid 60s.

I am always amazed at the sincere intensity that Lee Marvin brings to every role. You can see it here in this interview. He is SO good of an actor, he hits the nail of performance so perfectly, so naturally, that I actually find it difficult to watch him play a villain because the evil he exudes, the malicious, cold-hearted ruthlessness is palpable.
Lee Marvin always looked older than he was. I suspect it was a combination of genetics, heavy smoking, heavy drinking and being outside fishing in the sun a lot. When you combine those things it will make you look older. With that said . . . who wouldn't have wanted to pal around with Lee Marvin on a fishing boat with some beer, cigs and cool stories? Sounds like a damn fun afternoon!
LEGEND and so unforgettable. I still cannot believe he died at just 63 even though its been over 20 years since. Todays stars are simply not the same as Greats like Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, SteveMcQueen and James Coburn although I would describe Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as Great aswell.
Lee was a marine during WW2,he was fightin the japs and got wounded in the arse,virtually all his company was wiped out while he was being treated,his wife said he never got over it and felt guilty all his life about surviving.
Ernest Borgnine tells a great true story about he & Lee Marvin sitting against a building ( between takes) while making "Dirty Dozen". A guy strolls by and sarcasticly says" Gee, I wonder what it's like to talk to Ernest & Lee"? Lee Marvin replied "You'll never know". LOL They were long time great friends and Ernie tears up when talking of Lee's untimely death.
This is the best interview I've ever seen or read about John Ford and John Wayne's working relationship. Most of the books are utter nonsense, and not even Garry Wills understands the movie itself. "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" remains hands down Ford's greatest film and Wayne's finest performance.
I was surprised to find out that Marvin was quite a staunch liberal, opposing the Vietnam War and being supportive of gay rights. I'm not being judgemental, it's just that I'd expect such a icon of masculinity in cinema to be like James Stewart and John Wayne, who were quite die-hard Republicans.
@JuanMacready Yeah, and there's a story that he and James Stewart had something of a fight when arguing about politics, even though they were best friends.
One of the greatest actors of all time. He died in 1987, at age 63. I wonder how old he is in this interview? He looks about 80. It's amazing what smoking does to people.
@sportyguyusa And drinking to excess. He lived life his way, burned the candle at both ends, had a ball and died early. Probably the best speaking voice I've ever heard.
@sportyguyusa Smoking wasn't the only down-fall of Marvin , he was a hard-core Alcoholic drinking all day and night . John Wayne was 72 when he died and he smoked 6 packs a day. All the good old boys , Berle, Marx, Burns all smoked cigars and lived to their late 80's and Burns was a 100 smoking 10 cigars a day. ISinatra lived to his 80's was a chain smoker , and the list go's on so don't go puttingt the blame on early deaths on smoking alone.
@sportyguyusa Irrespective of how he led his life, the man had fun. All in reasonable moderation I say. Yes he probably did it to excess. But eat drink, smoke and be Merry. The man had it all and enjoyed himself. That is the Mark of a good life, not necessarily how long or short it was. Yes your right he looked more than 60ish. Drunk chain smoker, who enjoyed himself. If you enjoy that, then bloody good luck. As long as you are happy. I think he was!
@sportyguyusa you know what the fuck he was n went through in ww ii ,obviously not ., do some research, fuck acting !!! the shit he went through will blow your lil' mind !!!
This interview was done a year before his death. He died of a heart attack but he also suffered from emphysema. He doesn't look very well here, he looks so much older than he really was and very gaunt. Notice, he was still smoking even though he had emphysema. It's a shame, if he would have lived a healthier lifestyle, he probably have been around a lot longer.
The America of Lee Marvin's day is gone. We are a nation of self-serving politicians and idol worshippers. We are a morally corrupt nation more interested in the buck than doing what is right. The good people need to take it back.
@SEAVet69 Funny when I hear crap like that I look around and damn...that's only true of about half of you bums. Difference twixt Lee and me is he was a hell of an actor. Vetran? Yep. Speak my mind and hang the concequences? Yep...and I've no time for damned fools.
who gives a fuck about stewart's war experience. Wayne stood as the bigger pic grabber.Go on, tell me Stewart was better cos he was in the war.He didn't do shit.
@ThePowerWithinMe Listen wee man, am no judging him, a liked the man too...and a think icon is a word too far, my opinion. But c,mon he was like 64 a think when he died.....he looks 164 here! He dont look or sound good here be honest. Cigarettes & Alcohol will do it every time, balls or not.
Lee Marvin was not an actor who played tough guys.He was a touch guy who acted.I am so sick of Hollywood actors now a days! You don't even have to know how to act to be one.All you have to do is be able to take off your shirt and have abs and your in.Who cares if you look as wooden as a tree while acting!
Holy schmoly look at those eyebrows......Intimidating enough just on their own!
Lee Marvin,..... he is just one legendary Baddass! Who can forget him? Just him being himself was enough to carry most of the characters that he played. There was always this hidden undercurrent to his persona that signaled he could just turn around and knock the crap of of ya at the drop of a hat if he wanted. He was at his finest in The Dirty Dozen and who can forget Liberty Valence?
Lee Marvin was in a Dragnet TV show in the 1950's. You can find it here on You Tube. And yes, that was his voice. I have never seen anywhere that he did not sound like this. Maybe when he was 12.
I would like to say this believe me or not but im a distant cousin of john wayne and im proud of it ive told this to people through out my life and not many believe me...not ever being able to meet the man breaks my heart to me and my family honors this hero almost everyday we love him and i intend to pass my love of him on to my children Long live Marion Robert Morrison AKA John wayne...The Duke
@konatown5 OK thanks. I'd like to see a film when he was young to find out if he had that voice then, or whether it changed the more he smoked and drank.
racism doesn't mean a hate of every race you dick-he didn't like African Americans -read the interview with playboy magazine where he says that black people are backwards

LEGEND and so unforgettable. I still cannot believe he died at just 63 even though its been over 20 years since. Todays stars are simply not the same as Greats like Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, SteveMcQueen and James Coburn although I would describe Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as Great aswell.

Lee was a marine during WW2,he was fightin the japs and got wounded in the arse,virtually all his company was wiped out while he was being treated,his wife said he never got over it and felt guilty all his life about surviving.

This guy, a combat Marine in the Pacific, had a no-bullshit authenticity that made draft-dodger Wayne look like a poser.

Ernest Borgnine tells a great true story about he & Lee Marvin sitting against a building ( between takes) while making "Dirty Dozen". A guy strolls by and sarcasticly says" Gee, I wonder what it's like to talk to Ernest & Lee"? Lee Marvin replied "You'll never know". LOL They were long time great friends and Ernie tears up when talking of Lee's untimely death.

This is the best interview I've ever seen or read about John Ford and John Wayne's working relationship. Most of the books are utter nonsense, and not even Garry Wills understands the movie itself. "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" remains hands down Ford's greatest film and Wayne's finest performance.

He had a great voice and presence, like so many very masculine actors of that generation. Sorry gang. Jude Law and Brad Pitt can't touch him.

I was surprised to find out that Marvin was quite a staunch liberal, opposing the Vietnam War and being supportive of gay rights. I'm not being judgemental, it's just that I'd expect such a icon of masculinity in cinema to be like James Stewart and John Wayne, who were quite die-hard Republicans.

Lee Marvin was a Marine who was wounded in WW II. I really wonder if during many of the parts he played he wasn't really acting. Just a natural!!

One of the greatest actors of all time. He died in 1987, at age 63. I wonder how old he is in this interview? He looks about 80. It's amazing what smoking does to people.

@sportyguyusa And drinking to excess. He lived life his way, burned the candle at both ends, had a ball and died early. Probably the best speaking voice I've ever heard.

Sure, see the cigarette, blame the cigarette. I've never smoked; I'm 48 and look dang near 60.
Got nothing to do with the tobacco, it has to do with genetics, and in my case, my Welsh heritage. 27 years as a bricklayer didn't help.
But no, must be the cigarette...

@sportyguyusa Smoking wasn't the only down-fall of Marvin , he was a hard-core Alcoholic drinking all day and night . John Wayne was 72 when he died and he smoked 6 packs a day. All the good old boys , Berle, Marx, Burns all smoked cigars and lived to their late 80's and Burns was a 100 smoking 10 cigars a day. ISinatra lived to his 80's was a chain smoker , and the list go's on so don't go puttingt the blame on early deaths on smoking alone.

I don't think he looks 80, he looks like the hard drinking crew looks in their 60's. I loved Marvin ever since M Squad.

@sportyguyusa Irrespective of how he led his life, the man had fun. All in reasonable moderation I say. Yes he probably did it to excess. But eat drink, smoke and be Merry. The man had it all and enjoyed himself. That is the Mark of a good life, not necessarily how long or short it was. Yes your right he looked more than 60ish. Drunk chain smoker, who enjoyed himself. If you enjoy that, then bloody good luck. As long as you are happy. I think he was!

This interview was done a year before his death. He died of a heart attack but he also suffered from emphysema. He doesn't look very well here, he looks so much older than he really was and very gaunt. Notice, he was still smoking even though he had emphysema. It's a shame, if he would have lived a healthier lifestyle, he probably have been around a lot longer.

The America of Lee Marvin's day is gone. We are a nation of self-serving politicians and idol worshippers. We are a morally corrupt nation more interested in the buck than doing what is right. The good people need to take it back.

Lee Marvin was not an actor who played tough guys.He was a touch guy who acted.I am so sick of Hollywood actors now a days! You don't even have to know how to act to be one.All you have to do is be able to take off your shirt and have abs and your in.Who cares if you look as wooden as a tree while acting!

Lee Marvin,..... he is just one legendary Baddass! Who can forget him? Just him being himself was enough to carry most of the characters that he played. There was always this hidden undercurrent to his persona that signaled he could just turn around and knock the crap of of ya at the drop of a hat if he wanted. He was at his finest in The Dirty Dozen and who can forget Liberty Valence?

Lee Marvin was in a Dragnet TV show in the 1950's. You can find it here on You Tube. And yes, that was his voice. I have never seen anywhere that he did not sound like this. Maybe when he was 12.
