Lee Marvin was 46 when this interview took place? Lee Marvin was a great actor, but did he ever look young?

Lee Marvin is unique.
My favorite allí time actor.

People who serve in war time or watched their buddies die quite often "drink", some call it a problem, some realize it's a defense mechanism, our government never has taken care of it's veterans, Wounded Warrior program for instance, really should never have to exist, it's funded by us, wars are funded by us, we, us, do the fighting, then get to come home and fund our care, meanwhile, corporate America gets rich, politicians get re elected and the cycle goes on

I actually saw this show on tv as a teenager!!!

Wow. Thanks. Great upload.
@davidahlstrom7533 April 18, 2024 - 4:13 pm
Caveat should have followed up -- on what island were you shot. Mediocre interview, but at least they were polite in thise days (Marvin was shot and most of his platoon wiped out, taking the highest mountain on Saipan in the Marianas). I've been there, it's worth the trip to see Guam and Saipan if you want to learn more about the Pacofic War.
@hylanddilligaf6023 April 18, 2024 - 4:13 pm
He got shot in the but-TOCKS.

USMC 83-87 , Lee Marvin actually narrated a training film we watched. I remember recognizing him from the movie the Wild One, at the time I didn’t know he was a Marine - good stuff
@FiresideChillers April 18, 2024 - 4:13 pm
If they wanted to be John Wayne they should have stayed at home and not joined the war effort.

Cigarettes were everywhere back then. Lee is smoking one at 2:04 and seems to finish it shortly after. He reaches for another at 6:01 and lights it with a bookmatch at 6:33. To me, that shows the addictive nature of nicotine, a dangerous, cancer-causing, addictive drug that should never have been allowed to be sold without a doctor's prescription and a sound medical reason. Lee, like me and millions of other nicotine addicts, was totally unaware of the "need" for another hit of nicotine just four short minutes after finishing his prior cigarette - he fumbles around in his inner coat pocket for a cigarette and matches seemingly without conscious thought.

Lucky for me, at age 47 while smoking almost three packs per day I got a week-long relief from any ability to inhale that nicotine-laden smoke, due to a serious illness. I wasn't aware of the nicotine withdrawals due to my near-coma illness, and after that week without it my body was free from the nicotine addiction. I was hooked from age 15 to 47, and by estimation spent over $164k in 2024 dollars on my habit. I was a child the first three years of my addiction, which was obvious child abuse.

When Big Tobacco paid out $206 Billion in reparations ($392 Billion 2024 dollars), somehow they forgot to reparate me. Imagine that. How cheap and callous of them. I'll bet they forgot to reparate you, too. But the three to six main lawyers from that case made $250 million each - worth $475 million in 2024 dollars.

Even worse was all the deaths from smoking, including my older sister who smoked off and on until one day in her early 70s she went to a doctor complaining of chest pain, and after examining her the doc said "Go to Hospice. You have one week to live." That's the final benefit from smoking, the one nobody believes - until the terminal pain starts, and the people from Hospice arrive to ease your final days and hours.

My father was in the 4th Marine Division and he made 4 landings in the Central Pacific. Lee Marvin was pretty badly wounded on the 2nd island they landed on - Saipan in the Marianas Islands. My father told that for him Saipan was the worst of those 4 operations. The last one being Iwo Jima.
@LonelyRanger902 April 18, 2024 - 4:13 pm
Gee, he asked some stupid questions
@duckbizniz663 April 18, 2024 - 4:13 pm
I was watching video commentary by a film critic who claimed that Lee Marvin hated the movie Dirty Dozen. Because Marvin participated in real combat as a Marine in the Pacific. The film critic claimed that Marvin felt that the Dirty Dozen movie portrayed combat inaccurately compared to his own personal experience. But Marvin did not mention anything in that light with Dick Cavett.
@stephenrivera4382 April 18, 2024 - 4:13 pm
In my opinion, the first movie that really depicted the horror of war was Saving Private Ryan. Watching that movie made you understand (but only to a very small degree) why combat veterans suffered from PTSD.
@RonHudgens-ck5qe April 18, 2024 - 4:13 pm
Did not know he was aJarhead . He isnt went to a new battle as of us Marines . Simper Fi
