Lee Marvin Point Blank
Category: Biography: Entertainment Industry
Author: Dwayne Epstein
Copyright/published Year: 2013 by Shaffner Press
ISBN: 1936182572
Binding: trade pap
The first full-length, authoritative, and detailed story of the
iconic actor's life to go beyond the Hollywood scandal-sheet
reporting of earlier books, this account offers an appreciation
for the man and his acting career and the classic films he
starred in, painting a portrait of an individual who took great
risks in his acting and career. Although Lee Marvin is best known
for his icy tough guy roles?such as his chilling titular villain
in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or the paternal yet brutally
realistic platoon leader in The Big Red One
Very little is known of his personal life; his family
background; his experiences in WWII; his relationship with his
father, family, friends, wives; and his ongoing battles with
alcoholism, rage, and depression, occasioned by his postwar PTSD.
Now, after years of researching and compiling interviews with
family members, friends, and colleagues; rare photographs; and
illustrative material, Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein provides a
full understanding and appreciation of this acting titan's place
in the Hollywood pantheon in spite of his very real and human
struggles.
