Lee Marvin (February 19, 1924 – August 29, 1987)was an American film and television actor.[1] Known forhis distinctive voice, white hair and 6 ft 1 1⁄2 in (187cm)[2] stature, Marvin initially appeared in supportingroles, mostly villains, soldiers and other hardboiled char-acters. From 1957 to 1960, he starred as Detective Lieu-tenant Frank Ballinger in the NBC crime series,MSquad.In 1966 he won several awards, including an AcademyAward for Best Actor, and Best Actor BAFTA and theBest Actor Golden Globe, for his dual roles in Cat Ballou.

1 Early life

Marvin was born in New York City. He was the son ofLamont Waltman Marvin, an advertising executive andthe head of the New York and New England Apple Insti-tute, and his wife CourtenayWashington (née Davidge), afashion writer and beauty consultant.[3] As with his olderbrother, Robert, he was named in honor of ConfederateGeneral Robert E. Lee, who was his first cousin, fourtimes removed. His father was a direct descendant ofMatthew Marvin, Sr., who emigrated from Great Bent-ley, Essex, England in 1635 and helped found Hartford,Connecticut.[3]

Marvin studied violin when he was young.[4] As ateenager, Marvin “spent weekends and spare time hunt-ing deer, puma, wild turkey and bobwhite in the wilds ofthe then-uncharted Everglades.”[5]

He attendedManumit School, a Christian socialist board-ing school in Pawling, New York, during the late 1930s,and later attended St. Leo College Preparatory School inSt. Leo, Florida after being expelled from several otherschools for bad behavior.[6]

2 Military service

In August 1942 Marvin left school to enlist in the UnitedStates Marine Corps, serving with the 4th Marine Divi-sion in the Pacific Theater of World War II.[7] He waswounded in action during the Battle of Saipan, in the as-sault on Mount Tapochau, during which most of his unit(“I” Company, 3rd Battalion, 24th Marines, 4th MarineDivision) were killed.[8] His injury was frommachine gunfire, which severed his sciatic nerve.[9] Marvin was givena medical discharge with the rank of Private First Classin 1945 at Philadelphia.[10] His awards were the Purple

Heart, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Asiatic-PacificCampaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal.Contrary to rumors, Marvin did not serve with producerand actor Bob Keeshan (later best known as Captain Kan-garoo) during World War II.[10]

3 Career

After the war, while working as a plumber's assistant ata local community theatre in Upstate New York, Marvinwas asked to replace an actor who had fallen ill during re-hearsals. He then began an amateur off-Broadway actingcareer in NewYork City and eventually made it to Broad-way with a small role in the original production of BillyBudd.[11]

In 1950, Marvin moved to Hollywood. He found workin supporting roles, and from the beginning was cast invarious war films. As a decorated combat veteran, Mar-vin was a natural in war dramas, where he frequently as-sisted the director and other actors in realistically por-traying infantry movement, arranging costumes, and theuse of firearms. His debut was in You're in the Navy Now(1951), and in 1952 he appeared in several films, includ-ing Don Siegel's Duel at Silver Creek, Hangman’s Knot,and the war drama Eight Iron Men. He played GloriaGrahame's vicious boyfriend in Fritz Lang's The Big Heat(1953). Marvin had a small but memorable role in TheWild One (1953) opposite Marlon Brando (Marvin’s gangin the film was called “The Beetles”), followed by Semi-nole (1953) and Gun Fury (1953). He also had a notablesmall role as smart-aleck sailor Meatball in The CaineMutiny. He had a substantially more important part asHector, the small-town hood in Bad Day at Black Rock(1955) with Spencer Tracy.[12] Also in 1955, he playedthe interesting role of a somewhat lovelorn and touching(though thoroughly no-good) bank-robber in Violent Sat-urday.During the mid-1950s, Marvin gradually began playingmore important roles. He starred in Attack, (1956) andhad a supporting role in the Western Seven Men fromNow (1956). He also starred in The Missouri Traveler(1958) but it took over 100 episodes as Chicago copFrank Ballinger in the successful 1957–1960 televisionseriesM Squad to actually give him name recognition.[13]One critic described the show as “a hyped-up, violentDragnet... with a hard-as-nails Marvin” playing a toughpolice lieutenant. Marvin received the role after guest-starring in a memorable Dragnet episode as a serial

killer.[14]

Marvin in Attack

In the 1960s, Marvin was given prominent supportingroles in such films as The Comancheros (1961), JohnFord's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), andDonovan’s Reef (1963), all starring John Wayne, withMarvin’s roles getting larger with each film. As the vi-cious Liberty Valance, Marvin played his first title roleand held his own with two of the screen’s biggest stars(Wayne and James Stewart).[15]

For director Don Siegel, Marvin appeared in The Killers(1964) playing an efficient professional assassin alongsideClu Gulager. The Killers was also the first film in whichMarvin received top billing.[16]

Television series guest appearances he has been in includeWagon Train, The Twilight Zone both a couple episodes,Bonanza and a couple Bob Hope Television Specials.Playing alongside Vivien Leigh and Simone Signoret,Marvin won the 1966 National Board of Review Awardfor male actors for his role in Ship of Fools (1965).[17][N 1]

Marvin won the 1965 Academy Award for Best Actor forhis comic role in the offbeat Western Cat Ballou starringJane Fonda. He also won the 1965 Silver Bear for BestActor at the 15th Berlin International Film Festival.[21]

Marvin next performed in the hitWesternThe Profession-als (1966), in which he played the leader of a small bandof skilled mercenaries (Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, andWoody Strode) rescuing a kidnap victim (Claudia Car-dinale) shortly after the Mexican Revolution. He fol-lowed that film with the hugely successful World War II

epic The Dirty Dozen (1967) in which top-billed Mar-vin again portrayed an intrepid commander of a color-ful group (future stars John Cassavetes, Charles Bronson,Telly Savalas, Jim Brown, and Donald Sutherland) per-forming an almost impossible mission. In the wake ofthese two films and after having received an Oscar, Mar-vin was a huge star, given enormous control over his nextfilm Point Blank.In Point Blank, an influential film for director John Boor-man, he portrayed a hard-nosed criminal bent on revenge.Marvin, who had selected Boorman himself for the di-rector’s slot, had a central role in the film’s development,plot line, and staging. In 1968, Marvin also appeared inanother Boorman film, the critically acclaimed but com-mercially unsuccessful World War II character study Hellin the Pacific, also starring famed Japanese actor ToshiroMifune. Marvin was originally cast as Pike Bishop (laterplayed by William Holden) in The Wild Bunch (1969),but fell out with director Sam Peckinpah and pulled outin order to star in the Western musical Paint Your Wagon(1969), in which he was top-billed over a singing ClintEastwood. Despite his limited singing ability, he had ahit song with "Wand'rin' Star". By this time he was get-ting paid a million dollars per film, $200,000 less thantop star Paul Newman was making at the time; yet he wasambivalent about the film business, even with its financialrewards:[4]

“You spend the first forty years of your life try-ing to get in this business, and the next fortyyears trying to get out. And then when you're

making the bread, who needs it?"

Marvin had a much greater variety of roles in the 1970sand 1980s, with fewer 'bad-guy' roles than in earlieryears. His 1970s films included Monte Walsh (1970)with Jeanne Moreau, the violent Prime Cut (1972) withGene Hackman, Pocket Money (1972) with Paul New-man, Emperor of the North Pole (1973) opposite ErnestBorgnine, as Hickey in The Iceman Cometh (1973) withFredric March and Robert Ryan, The Spikes Gang (1974)with Noah Beery, Jr., The Klansman (1974) with RichardBurton, Shout at the Devil (1976) with Roger Moore,The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday (1976) withOliver Reed, and Avalanche Express (1978) with RobertShaw. Marvin was offered the role of Quint in Jaws(1975) but declined, stating “What would I tell my fishingfriends who'd see me come off a hero against a dummyshark?".[22]

Marvin’s last big role was in Samuel Fuller's The Big RedOne (1980), a war film based on Fuller’s own war experi-ences. His remaining films were Death Hunt (1981) withCharles Bronson, Gorky Park (1983), Dog Day (1984),and The Dirty Dozen: Next Mission (1985; a sequel withMarvin, Ernest Borgnine, and Richard Jaeckel picking upwhere they'd left off despite being 18 years older); his fi-nal appearance was in The Delta Force (1986) with ChuckNorris.[23]

4 Personal life

During the 1970s, Marvin resided off and on in Wood-stock, caring for his dying father,[24] and as a keen fisher-man he used to make regular trips to Australia to engagein fishing for marlin at Cairns and Great White Sharkat Port Fairy.[25] In 1975 Marvin and his second wifePamela moved to Tucson, Arizona, where he lived untilhis death.Marvin was a Democrat who opposed the Vietnam War.He publicly endorsed John F. Kennedy in the 1960 pres-idential election.[16]

4.1 Marriages and children

A father of four, Marvin was married twice. His firstmarriage to Betty Ebeling began in February 1951 andended in divorce on January 5, 1967; during this timehis hobbies included sport fishing off the Baja Califor-nia coast and duck hunting along the Mexican bordernear Mexicali.[5] He and Ebeling had a son, Christo-pher (1952–2013),[26] and three daughters: Courtenay(b. 1954), Cynthia (b. 1956) and Claudia (1958-2012).[27][28]

4.2 Community property case

See also Marvin v. Marvin

In 1971, Marvin was sued by Michelle Triola, his live-in girlfriend from 1965 to 1970, who legally changedher surname to “Marvin”.[4] Although the couple nevermarried, she sought financial compensation similar tothat available to spouses under California’s alimony andcommunity property laws. Triola claimed Marvin madeher pregnant three times and paid for two abortions, whileone pregnancy ended in miscarriage.[30] She claimed thesecond abortion left her unable to bear children.[30] Theresult was the landmark "palimony" case,Marvin v. Mar-vin, 18 Cal. 3d 660 (1976).[31] In 1979, Marvin wasordered to pay $104,000 to Triola for “rehabilitationpurposes” but the court denied her community propertyclaim for one-half of the $3.6 million which Marvinhad earned during their six years of cohabitation – dis-tinguishing non-marital relationship contracts from mar-riage, with community property rights only attaching tothe latter by operation of law. Rights equivalent to com-munity property only apply in non-marital relationshipcontracts when the parties expressly, whether orally or inwriting, contract for such rights to operate between them.In August 1981, the California Court of Appeal foundthere was no such contract, and thus nullified the awardshe had received.[32][33] Michelle Triola died of lung can-cer on October 30, 2009.[34]

This case was used as fodder for a mock debate skit on

9.1 Notes

[1] The film proved to be Leigh’s last film and her anguishedportrayal of a desperate older woman was punctuatedby her real-life “battle with demons”.[18] Leigh’s perfor-mance was tinged by paranoia and resulted in outburststhat marred her relationship with other actors, althoughboth Simone Signoret and Marvin were sympathetic andunderstanding.[19] In one unusual instance, she hit Marvinso hard with a spiked shoe, that it marked his face.[20]
