Lee Marvin Month – February 2009

Details of this still:

This is a press still that shows that even back then there was a bit of ruthlessness in covering celebrity. The actual captions that ran in newspapers using this photograph ranged from:

“Lee Marvin – Doesn’t scare the kids”

to one with a quote from Mr. Marvin:

“HARD-DRINKING LEE MARVIN
‘Tequila . . . there’s a real polite drink now.’“

Lee Marvin Month – February 2009

Lee Marvin not only gave out acting advice to fellow stars, as shown here he also gave it out to prisoners. Interesting if you check out the chalkboard in this picture and some of the items diagrammed out: “Practice Makes Perfect.” As promised this month long celebration of Lee Marvin will feature several rare and candid images of him both on and off the screen.

Details of this still:
