    As a young girl I absolutely LOVED Lee Van Cleef. He was my first CRUSH! I fell for his sexy villainous look when dad watched the Good the Bad and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. It was always playing somewhere on tv, so Dad would always turn it on when it was on the schedule. Anyhow, I’m pretty sure Lee Van Cleef was the model for the men I found myself quite drawn to as a young woman…and today!

    never progressed to 'leading man' status! Regrettably, they have all passed away

    Lee must have done documentary narration of one sort or another. That gravelly voice and story telling skills are 2nd to none, he was a total natural.

    I'm surprised they didn't say anything about Bill Carson as a joke. For those who don't get this Bill Carson was the person Lee's character Angel Eyes was chasing in The Good The Bad and The Ugly

    I Thank Lee Van Cleef for being the inspiration for Revolver Ocelot. I loved him in Escape from New York. He seemed cool. I seen behind the scene pics of him laughing with Kurt Russell and John Carpenter like they had a really GOOD time on set.

    He was great in "For a Few Dollars More" playing a hi-tech gunfighter with all those fancy rifle and pistol combinations. I thought he actually up-staged Clint Eastwood. He was excellent and we lost him way to early in life.

    Years ago in college we had a lecture from a costume designer who had worked in numerous films: when we asked her who was the nicest person she had ever worked with, without hesitation she said Lee Van Cleef - she said he was an absolute gentleman.
