Lee Marvin

Lee Marvin's granite-faced intensity and natural menace made him one of cinema's most compelling tough guys, from his Oscar-winning dual role in 'Cat Ballou' to his unforgettable performance in 'Point Blank' where his ability to suggest both violence and vulnerability created characters that redefined what screen masculinity could be. His military service and understanding of authentic toughness brought credibility to roles that required genuine danger while his surprising comedic timing proved that tough guys could also be funny without sacrificing their essential edge.
