Lee Marvin (February 19, 1924 August 29, 1987) was an American film actor. Known for his gravelly voice, white hair and 6'2" stature, Marvin at first did supporting roles, mostly villains, soldiers, and other hard-boiled characters.
In 1950, Marvin moved to Hollywood. He quickly found work in supporting roles, and from the beginning was cast in various Western or war films. As a decorated combat veteran, Marvin was a natural in war dramas, where he frequently assisted the director and other actors in realistically portraying infantry movement, arranging costumes, and even adjusting war surplus military prop firearms.
He had a hit song with "Wand'rin' Star" from the western musical Paint Your Wagon (1969).
Lyrics:
I was born under a wanderin star
I was born under a wanderin star
Wheels are made for rollin
Mules are made to pack
I never seen a sight that didnt look better looking back.
I was born under a wanderin star
Mud can make you prisoner
And the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes
But only people make you cry
Home is made for comin from
For dreams of goin to
Which with any luck will never come true
I was born under a wanderin star
I was born under a wanderin star
Do I know where hell is?
Hell is in Hello
Heaven is good-bye forever
Its time for me to go
I was born under a wanderin star
A wanderin wanderin star
Mud can make you prisoner
And the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes
But only people make you cry
Home is made for comin from
For dreams of goin to
Which with any luck will never come true
I was born under a wanderin star
I was born under a wanderin star
When I get to heaven
Tie me to a tree
Or Ill begin to roam
And soon you know where I will be
I was born under a wanderin star
A wanderin wanderin star

@axlrod05 so you want to put down a whole generation baby boomers you punk your as sharp as a bowling ball

@axlrod05 Man, what? An someone complains a lil' bit, and then you go spoutin' off whining. Hell, in some respects, f-k it, you're both right, but you are real damn wrong, cussin' to a single person, about an entire generation, you know nothing about. What in God's living hell is wrong with you and your young smart mouth? Life wasn't easy then. If Axel saw you talk like that, he would smack you up hard for whinin' at an old dude like that. Like you own the damn place. Hell, I would.

@windsofchange345 Sir, I really do not give a damn if you are a former marine, do not bring shame on the title you're bragging about, and I do still respect, very much, by showing useless disrespect for another man. To show disrespect to a statement about a man that you don't know personally, that says "R.I.P." and "brilliant" at one time, revokes statuses in respects as you ever having been a Marine. The next time you say that, hold your honor, do not capitalize "former".
