Description:
The first full-length, authoritative, and detailed story of the ì iconic actor's life to go beyond the Hollywood scandal-sheet ì reporting of earlier books, this account offers an appreciation ì for the man and his acting career and the classic films he ì starred in, painting a portrait of an individual who took great ì risks in his acting and career. Although Lee Marvin is best known ì for his icy tough guy roles?such as his chilling titular villain ì in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or the paternal yet brutally ì realistic platoon leader in The Big Red One

Very little is known of his personal life; his family ì background; his experiences in WWII; his relationship with his ì father, family, friends, wives; and his ongoing battles with ì alcoholism, rage, and depression, occasioned by his postwar PTSD. ì Now, after years of researching and compiling interviews with ì family members, friends, and colleagues; rare photographs; and ì illustrative material, Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein provides a ì full understanding and appreciation of this acting titan's place ì in the Hollywood pantheon in spite of his very real and human ì struggles.
