More DescriptionLee Marvin did not receive his first starring film role until he was 40, but in three short years-following the successes of Cat Ballou (for which he won the Academy Award as Best Actor) The Professionals and especially The Dirty Dozen -he was the most popular film actor in America. Marvin was a fascinating man, a loving husband and father, and one of the most natural, effective actors of his time. This is a comprehensive reference of the Oscar-winning actor's work. It includes biographical information on Marvin, an analysis of each of his 64 movies, chapters on his two television shows ( M Squad and Lawbreaker ), a listing of his television appearances, and a complete filmography (which includes video availability). The work is supplemented with dozens of photographs and film stills.
