Best actor for that performance. Martin Balsam got best supporting actor that year, but I think the horse should have got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Lee_Marvin Quote Lee Marvin left school to enlist in the United States Marine Corps in August 1942, serving in the 4th Marine Division.[8] He was wounded in action during the World War II Battle of Saipan, in the assault on Mount Tapochau, during which most of his company ("I" Company, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Division) were killed.[9] Marvin's wound (in the buttocks) was from machine gun fire, which severed his sciatic nerve.[10] Marvin was awarded the Purple Heart and was given a medical discharge with the rank of Private First Class in 1945 at Philadelphia.[11] Marvin's awards are the Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Citation, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, and World War II Victory Medal. Contrary to rumors, Marvin did not serve with producer and actor Bob Keeshan during World War II.[11] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 One of the true Hollywood tough guys, from back before riding on wires in front of a green screen made you a badass action hero. Also one of the Greatest Generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I like that story. But I think I like the one about Mr. Rogers being an ex Marine Corps sniper better. He always wore the sweaters to cover up the tattoos that covered both of his arms. https://www.liveabout.com/was-mr-rogers-a-navy-seal-or-marine-sniper-3299333 I read an interview with him many years back. He said that the sweaters and the tennis shoes came from his first job in radio. The station had lousy heating - it was cold in the winter. So he started wearing sweaters. He played the piano on that first show, but the piano was on the other side of the stage from the microphone, and when he ran back and forth from the mic to the piano you could hear his leather shoes going klop klop klop on the stage. So he started wearing tennis shoes so you couldn't hear him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
