Probably because the years are so impressionable. I know in basic training that I had in a different branch of military they really like to call you a lot of names to degrade you believe you are as a person. Typically you have to scratch your way back to life doing every slight thing that is expected/ordered of you from then on. Who doesn't have any problem in their teens developing a balanced ego...?
I waited on him at a dinner house, in my early 20's. He ordered 5deep fried oysters, double Shtolishnaya Vodka, no ice. I loooooved his voice, and he had nice manners
A co-worker was stationed at the Niki Base above Malibu in the late sixties He and some of his fellow servicemen discovered a bar where Lee Marvin warmed a stool. He claimed that they never had to buy their own drinks when Marvin was there.
I was blessed to have a great man who had a lower level of education. He served in both the 2nd World War and the Korean Conflict. He came home to find out that he had been listed as KIA, but he was very much alive. He came to Quebec Canada 🍁 but he had a mission to get to the other side of Canada 🍁. He didn't make it there. Dad met Mom and a family came along with his own love of movies that he passed along to me. I noticed that he was a image of John Wayne who had a voice of Lee Marvin. Both stars movies being favorites of Dad's and mine ❤
Gentlemen , as well as gentle ladies I might add , have it in them to be respectful of others , whoever they may be . Either of high social status , or alternatively , a fellow traveller along lifes long pathway . We're all of the same species , and therefore deserve to be treated as such .
@lindahovland8183. So, you meet someone for the first time, briefly, and now you think you know all about them! Anyone can put on an act to deceive their simple worshippers like you for a short time. After all, he is an actor by profession.
I can think of LIVING Hollywood actress who are also heroes would be Bob newhart. Mel Brooks Clint Eastwood Gene Hackman lone Wolf McQuade. ---- damn it. I can't think of any kids who are veterans!
One of my favorites was "Paint Your Wagon" with Clint Eastwood. It was a musical, and really funny. Hard to imagine those two singing, but they pulled it off well.
My favorite scene is when Marvin is drunk on his horse and they're both leaning against a building wall. The funniest part was his horse had it's legs crossed!😂
@@brianwells4507 They are getting in trouble by the kid's parents for letting him drink and smoke cigars and the kid says, "Shoot, a good cigar and a shot of whiskey are the second and third best things in life!" Still cracks me up!
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
WHAT AN AWESOME NEARLY UNIMAGINABLE COINCIDENCE! I AM THE CONCOCTIONATOR! AND I CSN CONCOCT OR CONCOCTIONATENEARLY TO VIRTUALLY CONCOCT, CONCOCTIONATEOR INVENT NEARLY NY NUMBER OF THINGS INTO A NEW SINGLE THING BY CONCOCTInnnNG THEM!
What a great man he was, what a brilliant personality actor, I was a high school guy and was skipping the days to see him in the movies in the cinema theatre during the class hours. I was born in communist Poland and was raised in there. He's a part of my life, same like Charles Bronson and other American beloved artists. RIP Lee Marvin my hero actor ...
I broke my leg, skiing at Squaw Valley, CA, and while in the infirmary, Lee Marvin came in the cheer up the patients (1963). I knew it was him just hearing his voice. They will be watching the films he was in for centuries.
I met him in the navy when he appeared on the USS Grasp ARS24 when he was starring in the movie “Hell In The Pacific” that was produced in the Mariana Islands . He entertained us by showing us the directors cut of the film.
I was the one who ran the ships store and I had to sell him a pack of cigarettes. I even asked him for his money for the cigarettes but the commander said he would take care of paying for the cigarettes. 😢
* Lee Marvin was one of my patients at the hospital where he died. I was working the day he died, I still remember the Code Blue to his room and knew that he was dying. *
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.
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.
I’m not sure about Lee taking Bronson out. At that time in their lives, Marvin was an aging drunk and Bronson was still at his physical peak, with the physique of a body builder. Heave you seen Bronson’s arms and shoulders in some of those publicity photos? He had some guns.
My favorite movie and actor I saw this movie at theater in LA in 1965 . In 1970 I was in the hospital ceaders of Lebanon I was 10 my dad met and talked with him In the hospital lobby. I would have liked to met him.
Those guys all great tough guys but I loved Jane for her looks she always unbelievable in beauty but her politics lousy - those guys gave their lives and body parts
It wasn't hard to like the man as an actor and a man's man, I always respected him for being so candid. and honest about his career and life. RIP LEE. ECF
Yes, I like that movie, "Paint your Wagon". And who else was in that movie and sang in it? The whole thing was humorous as only those two could make it. And the fight scenes and the prat falls.
I remember he was on Carson sitting next to Ed McMahon and Carson said you were in the Marines and he shrugged and said yeah and got shot in the ass. Of course the audience then gasped and laughed. Ed who was a Marine Colonel said to him Sempter Fidials and he reciprocated and that was it. It was a quiet but confirmed there loyalty
Died too young, one of the great ones. I grew up used to watching him in his roll as Frank Ballingee. Lee Marvin was great in many roles. He also played in the film Delta Force along Chuck Norris as Colonel Alexander in his late years.
Got to call him a cab on an early Friday evening at the Maverick in Tucson. He and a couple of buddies had stopped in for beers after playing tennis. I teased the club manager about letting him in the club wearing shorts. He looked great, very tall and solid with a full beard just as white as his hair.
I knew his older brother Bob very well. He was a professor of English at Columbia which is what their parents wanted for him. He was a painter of railroad cars. I cleaned their mothers house on Whitenburg rd. Bob called me "the girl who only wants to be entertained " and I called him "the better brother "
I knew a guy who knew Lee said that when he would get drunk and shoot at rats at night on the beech, the cops would just seal off the area and leave him be! That's probably NEVER happened for anyone else.
His head stone speaks volumes about that man....he chose to be buried with veterans than be buried in Hollywood with the actors.... A real hero of war that made your life so easy today. A hard man of the ages who made his mark and changed more real lives for the better than most people ever touch at all... respect is due in volumes a post cant make. Gods love and peace upon him and his.
Thank you for showing Lee Marvin's WW2 documentation. I was a big pharma rep [ Up John ] in 1974 and headquartered out of the reginal office in LA. We had some training exercises in infectious disease to attend to and stayed at the Universal Studios Hotel at Universal City. Lee used to hang out there and spent some time in their bar for sandwiches and libation. A few of our sales reps were there one evening talking to him and I will never forget what he told them., He said "regardless of what I ever achieve in Hollywood, I want to be remembered for my service to my country in WW2 as a US Marine. Everything else is secondary and non important in comparison." Being a disabled Vn Era Combat Medic and Surgical Technician. I was most impressed and proud to have Lee as a fellow veteran who served his country with honor in time of war....Dana First Army MEDDAC Dept, Surgery and CMS Veteran Representative retired,, ex big pharma rep. and Science Teacher.. Thank you all veterans for your service to our country !
I used to be friends with Lee in Cairn's Q AU. He kept a marlin fishing boat there, i was skippering a trawler there. We met in the Barbary Coast a fisherman's pub. He was just one of the boys, no "i am a star" with lee.
It reaches in when a combat vet does so well. Combat usually means booze or drugs later. Marvin handled his PTSD as well as he could given the circumstances in those years when not many understood what war does to one's soul. A good man who made it as best he could. Audie Murphy was another. The book, NO NAME ON THE BULLET is a worthy read.
Great video/document/info about a hero, and one of my favorite actors, especially in The Dirty Dozen. BTW, there was a mention of "Purple Medal Heart" (at 2:50), which he received. It is the "Purple Heart" medal. Thank you for the info about Lee Marvin.
It’s AI , what do you expect. My question regarding AI is , what the hell were they thinking , or were they too stoned out of their gourd to think ????
I heard Lee was the first choice to play the skipper in Jaws, but he thought the movie about a killer shark was corney and wouldn't be successful. So the producers went with 2nd choice Robert Shaw.
When they were filming the dirty dozen, Charles Bronson (another combat veteran) had go Marvin out of a bar to finish shooting a scene. Some thought it was his best work.
Marvin’s nickname whilst in the recon, was “Boom Happy” due to his role in it as the explosives guy….. A great star who had gone through so much, and most importantly as a veteran. I remember reading in his autobiography that during filming of Shout at the devil he had Roger Moore had an argument that ended in a fight and said when hitting Moore he felt like “…he was hitting concrete….” There will Never be another like of this man and actor…!
Marvin’s father was not disappointed his son joined the Marines. In fact at age 51, his father re-joined the military and was sent to the UK to scout and place anti-aircraft batteries. He was awarded several medals for his own service in the UK.
Wheb I was 8 yrs old my parents took me to see The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.I fell madly in love with Liberty,played by Lee Marvin. I know,Liberty is areally bad guy,but,He stayed with me all these years. In my heart,..still is. lol
Actually i don't know if Lee Marvin married or not im sure he didn't or may be i wouldn't besure but ine thing i know he was a return veteran the marines and was very highly train marine its wonder the dirty dozens was a top film because they all were returned veterans absolutely top picture Lee him self was tops in all films he actored 👍
Lee Marvin never forgot he was a proud Marine and acting was just a paycheck. "For God, Corps Country". May he have reunited with his unit and be guarding the gates of heaven.
Good info on Marvin, although the pictures and videos often don't relate to the audio. It would have been nice to have a human tell me he won the Purple Medal Heart, and earned dollar seven weekly in his first acting gig. Oh, and no mention of Paint Your Wagon?
Myself and my mother were extras in the film Prime Cut filmed in Calgary Alberta Canada. Like is said in this TH-cam he didn’t spend time with other actors he spent time with the crew and actually street people in Calgary who also liked booze. He said he was no better than them so that was how he thought of himself. I personally like that and didn’t put himself on a pedestal.
Once a marine always a marine semper fi Marvin.

Lee Marvin (1924-1987) RIP US Marine Corps World War 2.
Lee Marvin was a truly credible badass & he always played roles that suited him well!!! What do you expect,he was a Marine!!!
No wonder the dirty dozen was so damn good. They're all freaking vets!!!
Lee Marvin, one of favourite actors of all time.
Really loved him in " The man who killed Liberty Valance", "The dirty dozen" and "Cat Balou".

@jerrybrown7669 maybe you should concoct a dictionary. Were you the Governor of California? He was an asshole too.
I imagine the Japanese sniper had intended a head shot , but when Lee suddenly stood up now you know how got shot near the butt area.

After he winked at your wife, did he walk off with her and leave you alone on the beach with his wife?

He's buried at Arlington National Cemetery, section 7A.
You are correct and I visited him last summer and we shared a bottle together. Semper fidelis Lee
buried next to Joe Louis
He was my favorite actor when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s
Lee Marvin’s greatest film for me was “Who Shot Liberty Valence.”
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Laying on his death bed, those were Lee's last words...
"The Big Red One" probably wasn't much of stretch for him to "act" in. If it wasn't a cakewalk for him, he made you think it was!
Great movie
I knew a guy who knew Lee said that when he would get drunk and shoot at rats at night on the beech, the cops would just seal off the area and leave him be! That's probably NEVER happened for anyone else.
I wouldn't say his career started to wane after, "Big Red One", but rather it was simply impossible to top such a perfect movie.

Great also in Emperor of the North with Ernest Borgnine ❤
Paint your Wagon and Liberty Valance are classic. The ultimate tough guy. He's the guy you want to command you in the military.
Lee Marvin never forgot he was a proud Marine and acting was just a paycheck.
"For God, Corps Country".
