Iconic actor Lee Marvin is best known for violent, tough guy roles -- from his chilling villain opposite John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart in John Ford's 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' to the platoon leader in Samuel Fuller's epic 'The Big Red One' -- but little is known of his personal life, his family background and his combat experiences as a Marine in World War II. 'Lee Marvin: Point Blank'(Schaffner Press, February 2013) by veteran Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein digs beyond the entertainment reporting of earlier books and offers an authoritative, detailed look at Marvin's astonishing career as an actor, and his tremendous impact in modern cinema -- not only as one of the all time great character actors, but also in his pivotal role in shaping the portrayal of violence in film and TV today.
