A good share of the movie stars from this generation served in the military in the war. Lee was decorated for valor and leadership. One visit on the Tonight Show, Johnny actually got Lee to talk about some of his service. Johnny at first got Lee to talk about his being shot, and where, in a humorous way. But then got the whole story, which was remarkable. These guys weren't the pansies that Hollywood sports today.
It's not so easy to describe class; but obvious when you see it. Far as the widespread demise of it is just as much fault of the general public, if not more. The internet hasn't helped a bit.
It's great to see how Johnny gently finesses Marving into talking. He does not interrupt him; he lets him tell his own story and direct the course of the interview.. Carson served in the Navy during WWII--was sent to officer's training school at Columbia U in NY, but the war ended before he saw any action. You can see the respect he has for Marvin. Late night TV is a desert without him.
@@timirish2563 The night that Johnny got Lee talking about his action that he was decorated for, and his wound resulting from that action was one that I fondly remember.
I was teen working in a place that Lee Marvin once visited (came to visit the boss). He insisted on paying the admission fee (I recognised him from the movies...)! Sat and smoked cigars and drank whiskey (I got sent out about 6 times for more soda water) with the boss, wandered around the place (me his guide...) and he hung around nearly all day. A true gentleman.
Department of the Navy well represented in this clip!!! 2 Marines and a sailor! All WWII vets. Proud to say my dad is a WWII pacific vet as well and part of this generation. Sure miss men like this. They had their demons and faults but they all came away from that shared experience of sacrifice for the greater good. RIP all of them. And Thank you.
I was travelling cross country with my parents in the early 70's and We ate breakfast at a Ramada in in Effingham, Ill. and there at the next table was Lee Marvin and his family. Always will remember that, first Star I ever seen in person.
Lee Marvin's voice was like honey heated over hot coals. His portrayal of the villainous Valance is one of his greatest performances. His death fall is legendary!
OMG I agree. His portrayal of Liberty Valance was a tour de force for him as a villain. Just so crazy and real. He holds a six shooter or a machine gun with such a casual air like he’s so comfortable with it. Then I learned he was a sharp shooter in the Marines.
As someone who grew up in the 60’s and early 70’s, I think of actors such as Marvin, John Wayne, Steve McQueen, William Holden, Charles Bronson, Burt Reynolds, and Clint Eastwood. Eastwood is the only one left. These were men and didn’t apologize for it.
John Wayne tried numerous times to enlist & the military insisted on him doing morale movies. He even changed his name, using his birth name & going to obscure enlistment sites. He was very upset about it but they insisted he did more for the country performing his craft.
Exactly. We never realized how much men would change over the years. Men were men, women were women. Man I sure miss those days. There's very few real men today. I for one lady really miss them.
I have such great memories of Lee Marvin. The Dirty Dozen, Cat Ballou - where the character he played scared the heck out of us kids- were some of my favorite movies. He made me believe he was actually the character he was playing-the mark of a great actor. Will always have a special place in my heart.
Funny that you and others would think that “a man’s man” is like him. I’ll take Tom Hanks. A “real man” doesn’t have to be rough and tough and good with the dames.
@@emmgeevideo ...A Mans man is a man that is okay with his identity and that he is testosterone laydened. Now a days, masculinity is being attacked. Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks but if you poll most men, Lee is a standard we achieve for. Beards are okay. Chewing tobacco and spittin into a spatoon is okay. Teenage boys looking at stag magazines is okay. Having "boys only" clubs is okay. Liking chicks is okay. Liking Westerns is okay. Being Patriotic is okay. Opening doors for ladies is okay. Drinking a brew and burping is okay. God made Man and Woman to be DIFFERENT. Lee is a decorated Marine. Tom Hanks PLAYED an Army captain albeit a good one but I personally have a standard of being a Man. My wife wanted a "MAN" to take control and lead. That's what men do.

A Real Man, 😂😂😂 a total DISAPPOINTMENT as a man, Left his first wife & 3 children with $10,000 between them at the end of this real man's existence, Until I heard that I thought differently, but, NO, JUST A SACK OF 💩
Trouble is , this 'Real' man couldn't keep a fking ciggie out of his mouth... Like Richard burton, gave up drinking ,but chain smaked himself to an early grave.......
@@brianbradburn Great film. The fantastic French actress, Jeanne Moreau was in it, too. Marvin was also impressive in Point Blank and The Professionals. And earlier, he did fine work in The Big Heat, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence etc. A great 'heavy'. Yeah, I'm a big fan. I also liked him in Paint Your Wagon, despite what some critics said. He got to sing, Wanderin' Star, and it was a hit.
True. Speaking of that, He said in a interview in Playboy magazine that he would have no problem playing a gay man on screen because he is secure with his own sexuality
Freaking legend right there loved his movies you imagine Lee Marvin ,James Coburn, The Duke, Robert Mitchum,James Gardner and Clint Eastwood sitting around a table drinking.
Lee Marvin is just terrific in Point Blank, one of my favorite films. And I was always amazed at how large his face was: compare his face with Carson's and you see the huge difference.
One of my favorite Lee Marvin movies isn't often mentioned, Death Hunt with Charles Bronson. (1981) Lee plays a tough Canadian Mountie hunting down Bronson (a tough and clever trapper) through the Canadian wilderness. Perfect roles for both of them, doing what they do best. It has a good ending too, I won't spoil it but it's not what you'll expect. If you're a fan of Lee and Charles you'll like it.
When you grow-up, you'll realise, that all wars are blood-sacrifices. 'Nations' are Masonic constructs. You've been fooled. All leaders, presidents, royalty, generals - are Freemasons. So, your Grandaddy was used as piece in Occultist's boardgames, where the pain is real, for the servants.
Serving in the military doesn't make you more or less of a man. I thank all those that served this country and appreciate their service, but I don't think it makes them any better or worse than anyone that hasn't.
Marvins best line was in Dirty Dozen. A convict is awaiting his death sentence for shooting a crazy officer and Marvin says “ you know where you screwed up? You let someone watch you do it!”
@@11BravoSicilian My favorite line is when he tells his superior, "I owe you an apology. I thought you were a tight-lipped, uptight officer. But you really are quite emotional. Aren't you?" And he Lee-Marvin-walks off. :)
In the Dirty Dozen when General Worden (Ernest Borgninr) was ripping Lee for getting the mission accomplished but not following orders and showing him the report, Lee responded, "I never went in for embroidery, sir. Just results."
Imagine a movie with both Lee Marvin AND Oliver Reed. Two legends with strong personalities. Reed died in a pub on the Island of Malta during the filming of Gladiator, in 1999. He was friends with The Who drummer Keith Moon. Marvin was in the US Marine Corps. A Purple Heart.
@@vorant77 100% agree with you! All leftist political assholes. One thing about Mr. Carson you never knew his personal political affairs. He ripped both parties equally but tastefully. Which is why he will always be the king of late night.
@Edward E 😂 So true! I think Lee would've come on the set, sat down (lit cig in hand), taken one look at giggly, soy-boy Fallon, then gotten up with a disgusted look on his face and walked right back off the set. Damn, that was poorly-worded on my part. I need coffee.
One of my favorite westerns “The Professionals “ Lee Marvin , Burt Lancaster , Robert Ryan and Woody Stroud . I can’t remember the the name , but Lee Marvin and an Asian actor did a war movie where an American soldier and a Japanese soldier are stranded on an island…. From enemies to becoming friends . Sad ending .

I was lucky enough to live in a time when Johnny Carson was on TV every weeknight. They broke the mold when they made people like him and Lee Marvin. We thought we were in decline in the 70s. We didn’t know what decline was. We certainly do now. You see Lee Marvin light a cigarette? That’s real freedom. People of forgotten what that means.. God bless the one-of-a-kind each and everyone.
Marvin was only in his early 50's here but somehow already looked like he was 70+. But still, he was one of the toughest former enlistees turned actors that there ever was.
@Wes McGee Sad but true. I feel that a lot of other WWII vets could've lived a good bit longer as well if not for this habit. But this was just their way of trying to remedy their PTSD. Getting back to civilized life could not have been easy after what they saw and were forced to do.
Alot of actors of that era aged quicker then today. Looked a lot older then they actually were. They were all pretty hard living gentlemen. Lots of booze, sun and cigarettes. But man… they were cool!
@@rsuriyop My father was with the RAF in North Africa in World War 2. He and his colleagues smoked 60 a day. There's a photo of him pumping petrol (gas} into a Spitfire with a lighted cigarette in his mouth!!
I also grew up in the sixties and seventies and grew to admire such great actors as Lee Marvin, James Coburn, Eli Walach, Charles Bronson, Rod Stieger, and Paul Newman
@Crescent City Kid nobody is claiming to be a victim. Imagine the absolute horror and following condemnation if someone lit a cigarette on Jimmy Fallon or some other talk show
@@recabitejehonadab2654 no, A REAL MAN'S VOICE, Soy Boy!! None of these Millennial Fem-Bot, Cuck voices that fill up all the Colleges and universities nowadays.
Yeah that must have been a stretch for Marvin who barely twenty years earlier had been taking bullets from and killing the bastards. Suppose one has to hand it to Mifune though... knowing that if Marvin had been in a bad mood any particular day he might kill him.
Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, Dean Martin were so naturally cool. It wasn't pretentious at all they just were. Who today fits that bill like they did? No one.
He brings me back to peeking through the spindles in the stairway, listening to my Dad and his friends when I was a curious little boy enamored with my father! He saw me peeking and never admonish me for it, and never spoke a word about it! I guess he figured a little bad language and respect would teach me real life!❤
There are voices. And then there's Lee Marvin's voice. That's a proper voice. A true acting legend.
That's what I remember him for. William Holden as well. Great speaking voice.
Richard Widmark too,
Sam Elliot
Joe Pasquale?
Marvin's voice was made for commercials. If he was alive today he would be making millions!
Lee Marvin and James Coburn - the two most underrated greatest voices of all time.
Love James Coburn!
Schlitz....Light
Always loved Coburn. Always struck me as a loner.
Truly a great voice. So many memories. I think of him with Pernell Roberts in "Comanche Station ".
Natural but great talent.
I'd put Charles Bronson ahead of James Coburn

RIP Lee Marvin (February 19, 1924 - August 29, 1987), aged 63
You will always be remembered as a legend.
It's a true tribute of Lee Marvin's honest talents that he obviously didn't get by on his looks, but is still loved ❤
Marvin was only in his early 50's here but somehow already looked like he was 70+. But still, he was one of the toughest former enlistees turned actors that there ever was.
@Wes McGee Sad but true. I feel that a lot of other WWII vets could've lived a good bit longer as well if not for this habit. But this was just their way of trying to remedy their PTSD. Getting back to civilized life could not have been easy after what they saw and were forced to do.
His hair was Silver before he was 30
Rugged guys spent a lot of time in the sun. Lee a strong handsome man. Never was a pretty boy. Probably didn't think about aging well just living 😘
Alot of actors of that era aged quicker then today. Looked a lot older then they actually were. They were all pretty hard living gentlemen. Lots of booze, sun and cigarettes. But man… they were cool!
@@rsuriyop My father was with the RAF in North Africa in World War 2. He and his colleagues smoked 60 a day. There's a photo of him pumping petrol (gas} into a Spitfire with a lighted cigarette in his mouth!!
Such an underrated actor. He was so good in the Twilight Zone episode where he went in and fought that robot boxer. Great acting!
Lee Marvin was just plain cool!
I love these old actors used to watch them with my grandpa. Thanks grandpa
What a handsome conversation. Hard to come across those kind of voices nowadays.
Lee Marvin didn't have to act badass...... He was Badass
smoking a heater on tv. Love it. Lee had a voice and and attitude that was impressive.
Lee Marvin, one of the greats!
Still one of my favourite actors I’ve still got him in point blank catch it some time one of the greats
Lee Marvin, one of my most favorite actors. R.I.P. American Legend.
I also grew up in the sixties and seventies and grew to admire such great actors as Lee Marvin, James Coburn, Eli Walach, Charles Bronson, Rod Stieger, and Paul Newman
Don't forget his incredible drunken gunfighter in "Cat Ballou"! He was so freakin' hilarious---
I miss Johnny Carson and Lee Marvin. I miss them all really.
"Politically Incorrect" deliciousness! 👏👏👏
@Crescent City Kid nobody is claiming to be a victim. Imagine the absolute horror and following condemnation if someone lit a cigarette on Jimmy Fallon or some other talk show
Whenever I see that guy, what I really see is Liberty Valance.
For me he will always be kid Shelleen from Cat Ballou
@@katz86 I think if I had met him, he would have given me the creeps because he played Liberty Valance so effectively.
For me he is Maj. Reisman
Marvin's voice sounds like 18-year old whiskey tastes.
That voice if I only had that voice.
A smokers voice ??
@@recabitejehonadab2654 no, A REAL MAN'S VOICE, Soy Boy!! None of these Millennial Fem-Bot, Cuck voices that fill up all the Colleges and universities nowadays.
Lee was my best man at my wedding.
Great person
How lovely for you……
Um dos melhores atores! Que voz linda
A true man, among men......loved him in “ Cat Ballou “ and “ Liberty Valance “......RIP sir......
Superb comparison! :-)
Rollo: my sister said Marvin won the Oscar because no one knew he was a comedic actor... hilarious. Everyone was good in that.
One Icon from my times. One of many, sadly all gone now. The ones left are not even worth to mention. Haven been to the movies in many years.
Who is still watching the Carson Tonight Show in 2024 ? Let me see a show of hands !
KT!!👍
Loved how he just nonchalantly pulled out a smoke...a different time.
Has anyone seen "Hell in the Pacific" with Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune ? Just two characters in a movie.
Yeah that must have been a stretch for Marvin who barely twenty years earlier had been taking bullets from and killing the bastards. Suppose one has to hand it to Mifune though... knowing that if Marvin had been in a bad mood any particular day he might kill him.
Thomas Kurian How about “The Dirty Dozen”? Emporer of the North?
Yes, I love that movie, once again Lee and Toshiro were both brilliant in their parts!
I saw that one at the theatre back in the day. I thought it was a great movie.
@@olentangy74 a great comedy.
Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, Dean Martin were so naturally cool. It wasn't pretentious at all they just were. Who today fits that bill like they did? No one.
He said 52 years old ....
on this particular Jonny Carson's show.
Lee Marvin's one of my favorite Movie Star
Me encanta lee marvin.grandes actuaciones en grandisimas peliculas❤❤❤
Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday was a fun film.
One of my favorites.
THIS IS SO WISTFULL TO REWATCH IT
Lee Marvin was so ahead of his time. A true Hollywood OG.
Lee Marvin. That's a tough guy name. Lee Marvin.
GOD--Lee was such a BLOODY AMAZING actor with such a dynamic presence.
From a mad keen 77yo Aussie fan.
Semper Fi
RIP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lee Marvin...photo in Webster’s dictionary for BADASS.
You got that right!!
"The Great Scout & Cathouse Thursday" is one of my favorite movies. So funny!
You get it the same old way and we cure it the same old way
@@roachman1412 "Joe Knox no go to doctor". :)
Reaches for a cigarette and casually lights it, imagine doing that on a talk show now?
Sean Penn tried it and Steven Colbert almost had a heart attack.
The way these fellows talk is forgotten. Such a suave accent
Both smoking on camera. Those were the days.
He brings me back to peeking through the spindles in the stairway, listening to my Dad and his friends when I was a curious little boy enamored with my father! He saw me peeking and never admonish me for it, and never spoke a word about it! I guess he figured a little bad language and respect would teach me real life!❤
Saw him on The Delta Force last night. Man’s a legend.
This aired the year I was born. Talk shows were awesome back then.
Back when actors were people. Often, quite admirable people.
