Description: Lee Marvin was Hollywood's most unlikely leading man: a battle-scarred Marine turned character actor whose menace and magnetism redefined screen toughness. This biography follows him from a rebellious youth through the Pacific war, his first steps on stage and screen, and the years spent playing unforgettable villains. It explores the turning point that lifted him to stardom, the "violent poetry" of his most celebrated performances, and the complicated man behind the legend. Whether you know him from classic Westerns and war films or are just discovering him, this is a vivid portrait of an actor who never played it safe.
