While not an excuse for Marvin’s behavior…an important aspect of his life was his military service. Marvin was a Marine Corps sniper during WWII, he participated in 20+ amphibious assaults against the Japanese throughout some of the toughest battles in the Pacific theater. He was severely wounded during the Battle of Saipan. Marvin was always a bit of a trouble maker, but…mix in a heavy dose of (real) PTSD and it’s a wonder he could function - at all.
Unlike Forrest Gump who said he got shot in the "buttocks", Lee Marvin joked that he got his Purple Heart after he was shot in the "ass" on Saipan. Lee Marvin was legitimate. I respect his memory as an actor because he was not a fake bad boy, he was the real thing and deserves to be honored for his service in the United States Marine Corps during WWII.
@@vm-snss4910Yes!!! Lee Marvin was a man of the highest caliber until he was ridden with alcoholism. He did what he had to do. People today use much less reason in their daily dealings.
Lee was a veteran, who had PTSD what the veterans went through is horrible. My Grandfather was a a WWI vet, my uncle was a WWII vet and Korea, what these men went through anyone who has never gone through this cannot ever imagine what it was like, they didn't get the help then that is available now so they self medicated. I wish that they never went through what they did, then maybe I could have gotten to know them. And my uncle lived with my Grandmother whom I saw a lot. He only spoke to me once, and that was the day my Grandma died, he gave me her watch and said she wanted me to have it. He kept it hidden in his pocket while other people were rummaging through her things, I was a teenager. I'm 63 now and still have it, thank you Uncle George ❤❤❤.
Already seen over 30 videos on this channel and I'm on a streak to watch all. Well-done Factinate. Your voice over artistes are quite compelling and awesome. They make the narrative intriguing. 💯 %. With ❤ from Nigeria 🇳🇬
As I get older I can't take any actor/actresses seriously. It all just seems ridiculous how we idolize these people and place so much importance on movies and tv shows.
She was a gold-digger. She changed her own name to Marvin because Lee wouldn't marry her. She followed him everywhere, even to Europe. It's not like he couldn't live without her, he worked continuously and she didn't. She was a "kept" woman, Not wife material. Lee said, "In court everyone lied, her attorney lied, she lied, I lied, we all lied" Funny, Dick Van Dyke didn't bother to marry her either.
Michelle's lawyer was Marvin Mitchellson who became famous in his pursuit of palimony for her. It was the first time a former common-law partner had tried to get that kind of financial settlement from a well-known movie star. While they did not get a large settlement, it opened the door for other similar cases (Precedent Setting) that ultimately resulted in much larger settlements in the ensuing years in other similar cases. Mitchellson became known as the Go To "Palimony Lawyer" in Los Angeles and handled these kind of cases for the rest of his career. He became so good at it and feared for his courtroom & maneuvering skills that many of the Defendants in such cases negotiated settlements out of court rather than take their chances and go through the legal process, embarrassing themselves revealing personal details and having a much larger settlement awarded to the Plaintiffs.
@Curlyblonde She was awarded $104,000 in 1979, but then the settlement was nullified in 1981. In 1983 the (UPAA), Uniform Premarital Agreement Act was drafted.
I have to disagree with one part, Paint your Wagon was a very good, saw it many times on TBS growing up. I personally don't need rotten tomatoes' permission to like it!!! Never gave a Damn about movie critics
Enjoyed watching Lee Marvin in Movies.Surprised me years ago when he guest starred on Bonanza in a 1962 episode. Also guest starred on the old Dragnet in the 50s.
Thanks for confirming that for me . I would have been in my teens at the time of Bonanza and much younger when Dragnet was on . My friend Bobby and I used to babysit his sister's children in the 50s and as neither of us had a tv set at home we'd watch Dragnet, Cheyenne and Wagon Train at his sister's . I knew I'd seen Lee Marvin in Dragnet but most would have said I'd imagined it. Your comment has brought so many happy memories flooding back to me. Many thanks !
I met Lee Marvin when I was a teenager. He was in Louisville Kentucky for a charity program on a local TV station. This was in sixties when he was on TV. It was at a rehearsal, so I was able to sit and chat for a few minutes. Being so young, I really didn't know much about conversation but he was very nice and asked me about school and my interests. Did not know about the things in this UA-cam program.
Lee Marvin was a heartthrob all over Europe. In the UK especially he was a sex symbol. We don't always see it but he was dressed impeccably. Maybe because his suits were so perfect for him. His acting was also just a natural extension of his character.
The female shoe, that he kept, is true. He was injured by the actress, while filming a scene together. She used the shoe, to hit him over and over. It drew blood. I do know, the actress, had violent behaviour issues. I think he was impressed by her performance or afraid of her. My opinion.
1:20 Pre-war, during the Great Depression folks didn't particularly enjoy _"Hunting Animals For Sport,"_ they were hunting to put food on their tables; otherwise they couldn't afford to eat or feed their families.
I was young and in love with the movie Cat Ballou. Wonderful movie I will always have fondness for. Lee was great in it and the music! Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye!
He always looked old, fed-up with everything and had that worn out demeanor even in his younger years. It was no surprise to any of the women he was involved with, what kind of life with him they were in for. He didn't hide his personality nor his vices. A take it or leave it gruff personality and lifestyle.
As a kid he was a favorite. There's a lot of skeletons in the closets of a lot of our old favorites from that era. Different times. WWII generation was the greatest yet.
Despite his faults many generations loved him. No one who has not been to war can appreciate the horror of war in the Pacific. The man was humble. Awards were rarely given to Marines. Do not minimize the private that is a Marine.
You too can lead a life just like Lee's. Just not get help for alcohol/chemical dependency and keep doing the same thing over and over and over no matter what wreckage you leave in your wake. Mr. Marivin's legendary dirt-bagginess notwithstanding, Ms.Triola directly contributed to this situation too through her own addictive personality and how that manifested. It is my understanding and to her very great credit she did a ton of work around what was her own stuff and I am so glad she ended her years with Dick Van Dyke, who I understand is also working a good program. She passed in 2009 and bless her.
Wow, the impression I got during my time in AA was correct: what a cult of sanctimony addicts, full of horseshit dogma & imaginary higher powers. Who are YOU to diagnose another man's life? An ex-drunk? That's SOME qualifications, friend. Newsflash: AA has a 12% success rate, & blames its massive rate of failure on the people it's failed. The 12-Step model has been debunked repeatedly by science. It becomes a dependency in itself, one crutch fer another. And it failed ME-- I been 8 years without a drink, & AA did exactly nothing for me except attempt to inculcate me in nonsense that a couple of Christian drunkards pulled outta their asses in the 1930s (Bill Wilson went on to advocate for drunks getting LSD therapy in the 50s... AA literature never mentions THAT). I got sober on my own, & I'm so glad I did not have to pretend to believe in a God to do it.🦃
A man or woman should have a right to leave his/her partner when the relationship has turned bad without having to pay them off. People change, and you shouldn't have to be chained legally to a person you no longer like.
I couldn't name many of Lee Marvin's movies - even after watching this video - but I do remember him because of his famous palimony case. It was a big news item at the time.
One of Lee Marvin's great film was in 1968's "Hell In The Pacific" with Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune (two WWII fighters stranded on the same island) but my favorite was and is "Paint Your Wagon" filmed in Oregon.
Committed alcoholics are married first to the bottle; it's their first and most important love in their life. Everything else slides further down the list of priorities. Unfortunately when you are involved with them, that is they way things are, like it or not.
Dumping "The Wild Bunch" for "Paint Your Wagon" HAS to be the most hilariously misguided gaffe in Hollywood history! Guess Lee Marvin's ego bit him in the ass on that one... 🦃🤣🦃
It's so easy to judge people if you haven't been what they have been through or you have never lived in the same house as them. Point Blank was his best movie.
Not really as salacious these days to get abortions. And if whatsherface was so in love with him, why was she demanding payment? They weren't actually married and outside common law, she had no right to half his earnings. I'm not saying he was som noble guy, but his gf obviously benefitted from being with him and she gave up her career on her own. None of this makes me like his performances any less nor do they erase his service to his country. Still a big fan.
@@moralityisnotsubjective5🦃🦃Has it EVER occurred to anyone that celebrities' private lives are none of our damn business? These are human beings with all the foibles & flaws which afflict most of us. Why, if MY LIFE were to be examined thusly, I'd look no better than Lee Marvin, & I suspect that neither would a lot of you. But, it's FUN, isn't it, to sit on the outside of someone else's life and, with very limited actual information, cast judgement upon them. It makes less of US to do that, NOT the celebrity. It's on US if we choose poor role models. It's on US if we develop unhealthy parasocial relationships with celebs.
@@paulsnider9208 I don't have parasocial relationships, but I do have morals and I view celebs as no different than the rest of us. As such why not look at their failings the same as one would anyone else?
Heck, it wasnt till the 80's that i heard those designations being used. Prior to that kids were labled, "hyperactive". Kids with dylexia were labled educational difficulty(ED) and learning dificulty(LD) even into the 2000's in small town wisconsin. Shamefull when i had a college teacher who barely made it theu school to join marines and it was only after that when he found out his learning difficulty. Great teacher. Had to teach himself around his dyslexia.
Ugh. He sounds absolutely awful. What did those women see in him, anyway? It sure wasn't his looks. Thank you for another excellently narrated episode. ♥
People fall in love with the image on the screen. I always liked him when he was younger wearing those nice suits .He had a toughness about him (no drunkenness) where he would not put up with any B.S. I like that & he had beautiful blue eyes. Just the image on screen
Fairly normal life: 1. you don't get a handbook on being a parent, a lover or relationships when you are born; 2. you have good parts to your personality and bad parts. Simple explanation of his public legal spat. California recognizes common law marriage only if it is entered into within a state that allows it. You aren't entitled to split up property if you just live with someone. You can get some of the other person's property if you have a written agreement or you have a fully completed oral agreement. Other old concepts like compensation for "alienation of affections" is also no longer recognized. There was a time up through the part of the 1970s when a woman could file an action for an order of emancipation. Gone as well.
Who was the actor who was featured with Marvin in this video? The name is on the tip to my tongue but I just can’t think of it. Please help me!!!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
A real hatchet job. A marked contrast to nearly al other factinate biographies, which are nearly always puff pieces for the subjects. I wonder what grudge the writer/director has against Marvin.
Who was there to know what their (Marvin & Triola) relationship had evolved into, what hurts had transpired. He was a man. Who knew him well enough to judge him? GTFO. Let him rest in peace.
Always a good actor in my opinion, noticed him first in M Squad. ….and Wandering Star became a top ten record in the UK, particularly for those who were Skinheads at the time. But nobody is perfect. 😁
To award Triola $104,000 is fine for what he put her through, but the rest of his earnings belong to his 4 children, since she was not legally married to Marvin.
Understand what you are saying, but he knew she changed her last name, they lived together for six years, etc. etc. He could have at anytime ended the relationship or choose not to cohabitate with her. He was also benefiting from their union and in a way, condoned it by staying with her and living with her.
I assume you think palimony is unfair on a man when a woman gives up her career and her means to support herself, to have her own spending money, to have savings for the future, to buy her own house and have security in the future - to keep house, look after and provide all the 'services' he demanded, put up with his bad behavior his philandering and general couldnt care less attitude maybe even violence towards her, while he earns millions and wastes it all on alcohol. Im damned sure she earned every effin dollar she was awarded. Most women walk away with absolutely nothing but the clothes theyre wearing at the end of a relationship. You think thats fair ? And what about the kids?
@@Jan-sn5tk What kids? If they had kids, that's s different lind of payment and hr does owe that. But it's different than (p)alimony. That's just payment for past access. She didn't have that big a career anyway. She lived a life of luxury while she was with him. She had the best of everything and all her life's necessities provided for her. Once they broke up, she wasn't entitled to have that provided for her at his expense. If she was mistreated and stayed anyway, that's was her decision.
The end...me thinks he struggled with his sexuality. It makes sense for that generation to hide it deeply and be a man's man. The drinking and the abandonment of his family. No wonder he suffered with depression.
This series of exposés shows, if nothing else, that people without a skeleton in the cupboard are a rarity. Celebrities who achieve any degree of success or even just notoriety, without leaving wreckage in their wake, are several orders of magnitude rarer. Lee Marvin, to his credit, admitted in an interview (which was recorded and broadcast) that violence was part of his genetic makeup. Actors and actresses bare their souls on screen and on the stage for our enjoyment. To expect them to follow such a bruising path through life, and to remain at the same time angels, is to expect the impossible. Nevertheless, I fully expect these disingenuous exposés to achieve the greatest possible success on UA-cam.
Partners have no standing in a UNION undocumented ..... the man DID NOT FEEL IT RIGHT TO CONTINUE INTO MARRIAGE. Why assail a man many decades later for what YOU PERCEIVE as a woman wronged ..... since she tried to sue a man for breaking an engagement WHICH MILLIONS have - get a life.
It isn't what he did-it is HOW he did it that was the problem. He pulled this garbage with his second wife when they were involved decades prior, and he pulled similar garbage on Michelle Triola. THAT is the issue. It is fairly sociopathic to do things without regard to the feelings of others. Marvin didn't have to do what he did, but he was a complete coward when it came to women.
Anyone who thinks murdering an animal for sport is acceptable, is not someone l expect to be a good human being. I watched the whole video, but nothing appeared to even remotely change my mind.
hello , i always liked and was fascinated with lee marvin, he was a great actor and somewhat cra cra...he had quite the pedigree , he was descended from both thomas jefferson and george washington .......great share , as usual thank you , for sharing🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.............
Dyslexia and ADHD were not diagnosed as such during Lee's childhood.

@@vm-snss4910 Absolutely! Semper Fi. Check out the WWII military service of the actor - Charles Durning. Durning was another genuine tough guy.

Alcohol has been the ruin of too many in show business.
Too many in everyday life for a lot of people. 😢 Lost my husband to it.
Agreed.
You have to be crazy to want to entertain people. Maybe alcohol took away some of the craziness for them, who knows?

The Lee Marvin / Michelle Triolo court case gave rise to the term " Palimony "
She was a gold-digger.
She changed her own name to Marvin because Lee wouldn't marry her.
She followed him everywhere, even to Europe. It's not like he couldn't live without her, he worked continuously and she didn't.
She was a "kept" woman, Not wife material.
Lee said, "In court everyone lied, her attorney lied, she lied, I lied, we all lied"
Funny, Dick Van Dyke didn't bother to marry her either.
How do you know that? I love this kind of arcane trivia!
It was a big deal. It was in the late '70s. He hid out in mammoth skiing for a bit. He definitely didn't want to be social.
Michelle's lawyer was Marvin Mitchellson who became famous in his pursuit of palimony for her. It was the first time a former common-law partner had tried to get that kind of financial settlement from a well-known movie star. While they did not get a large settlement, it opened the door for other similar cases (Precedent Setting) that ultimately resulted in much larger settlements in the ensuing years in other similar cases.

@Curlyblonde
She was awarded $104,000 in 1979, but then the settlement was nullified in 1981.
In 1983 the (UPAA), Uniform Premarital Agreement Act was drafted.
To me, his best movies are, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Dirty Dozen and Cat Ballou. He was a great actor, but a terrible human being.
I have to disagree with one part, Paint your Wagon was a very good, saw it many times on TBS growing up.
I personally don't need rotten tomatoes' permission to like it!!! Never gave a Damn about movie critics
Didn't know Lee Marvin was so cold hearted
Met someone and married her. Called home and told Michelle to be gone before they got home.

Check out an early movie 'Shack out on 101' where he works as a chef. Strange spy/comedy.
Fairly normal life:
1. you don't get a handbook on being a parent, a lover or relationships when you are born;
2. you have good parts to your personality and bad parts.
Simple explanation of his public legal spat. California recognizes common law marriage only if it is entered into within a state that allows it. You aren't entitled to split up property if you just live with someone. You can get some of the other person's property if you have a written agreement or you have a fully completed oral agreement. Other old concepts like compensation for "alienation of affections" is also no longer recognized. There was a time up through the part of the 1970s when a woman could file an action for an order of emancipation. Gone as well.
Lee had a huge brilliant career, sad to drink your way to death
I doubt he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Those designations did not exist when he was a child.
Who was the actor who was featured with Marvin in this video? The name is on the tip to my tongue but I just can’t think of it. Please help me!!!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
DOUBLE DIAGNOSIS? DISLEXIA AND ADHD WERE NOT EVEN A THING WHEN HE WAS A KID. ARE YOU MAKING SHIT UP?
A real hatchet job. A marked contrast to nearly al other factinate biographies, which are nearly always puff pieces for the subjects. I wonder what grudge the writer/director has against Marvin.
Who was there to know what their (Marvin & Triola) relationship had evolved into, what hurts had transpired.
He was a man. Who knew him well enough to judge him?
GTFO. Let him rest in peace.
He looks like my dad 😂😂😂😂
Great and controversial actor, even his minor roles stand out
He Deffo has a type!
Absolutely! His wife, his de facto and the woman he went back for all looked the same. It would be interesting to see what his mother looked like.
Always a good actor in my opinion, noticed him first in M Squad. ….and Wandering Star became a top ten record in the UK, particularly for those who were Skinheads at the time. But nobody is perfect. 😁
'My' Narrator ! 😊 I think the comments are making a bit of difference
To award Triola $104,000 is fine for what he put her through, but the rest of his earnings belong to his 4 children, since she was not legally married to Marvin.
She never received a penny. She lost on appeal.
California is the only state in the US that doesn't recognize common law marriage for those wondering.
The begining of "palimony" screwing men over ever since.
Understand what you are saying, but he knew she changed her last name, they lived together for six years, etc. etc. He could have at anytime ended the relationship or choose not to cohabitate with her. He was also benefiting from their union and in a way, condoned it by staying with her and living with her.
@@ginacaradonna8063 I didn't know they lived together that long, or that she changed her name.
She still didn't deserve anything after she left him.
: WHO "hurt you?" Sounds like a good Therapist, and a hug is what's needed. 😢
I assume you think palimony is unfair on a man when a woman gives up her career and her means to support herself, to have her own spending money, to have savings for the future, to buy her own house and have security in the future - to keep house, look after and provide all the 'services' he demanded, put up with his bad behavior his philandering and general couldnt care less attitude maybe even violence towards her, while he earns millions and wastes it all on alcohol. Im damned sure she earned every effin dollar she was awarded. Most women walk away with absolutely nothing but the clothes theyre wearing at the end of a relationship. You think thats fair ? And what about the kids?
@@Jan-sn5tk What kids?
If they had kids, that's s
different lind of payment and hr does owe that. But it's different than (p)alimony. That's just payment for past access.
She didn't have that big a career anyway.
She lived a life of luxury while she was with him.
She had the best of everything and all her life's necessities provided for her. Once they broke up, she wasn't entitled to have that provided for her at his expense. If she was mistreated and stayed anyway, that's was her decision.
Same story as eastwood
What movie was that showed him in a restaurant with a young woman?
I was going to ask the same thing, but the young lady in that scene is Miss Sissy Spacek.
The movie is Prime Cut (1972).
The end...me thinks he struggled with his sexuality. It makes sense for that generation to hide it deeply and be a man's man. The drinking and the abandonment of his family. No wonder he suffered with depression.
He wasn't so tough when Roger Moore knocked him out on set for his treatment of a female co star.
FYI he fought in Europe for your country.
No more worship of Lee Marvin. Now I see he was awful to those who loved him dearly.
How did he get diagnosed with ADHD IN childhood if it was not classified as a disorder until the 60s
I think old Lee is living way south of here now and it is HOT down there
Hopefully. Hunting for sport instead of food is evil.
I don't eat animals either but agree that hunting for "fun" is a wanton behavior.
That's really not for any of us to say and if anyone thinks it is then they may be treading a dangerous road themselves.
@@moralityisnotsubjective5 Well if he repented from his heart thru the blood of Jesus the Christ he is fine no one knows for sure but him and GOD
@@jimAndCheryl True. And it is a matter between them.
This series of exposés shows, if nothing else, that people without a skeleton in the cupboard are a rarity. Celebrities who achieve any degree of success or even just notoriety, without leaving wreckage in their wake, are several orders of magnitude rarer. Lee Marvin, to his credit, admitted in an interview (which was recorded and broadcast) that violence was part of his genetic makeup. Actors and actresses bare their souls on screen and on the stage for our enjoyment. To expect them to follow such a bruising path through life, and to remain at the same time angels, is to expect the impossible. Nevertheless, I fully expect these disingenuous exposés to achieve the greatest possible success on UA-cam.
Partners have no standing in a UNION undocumented ..... the man DID NOT FEEL IT RIGHT TO CONTINUE INTO MARRIAGE. Why assail a man many decades later for what YOU PERCEIVE as a woman wronged ..... since she tried to sue a man for breaking an engagement WHICH MILLIONS have - get a life.
It isn't what he did-it is HOW he did it that was the problem. He pulled this garbage with his second wife when they were involved decades prior, and he pulled similar garbage on Michelle Triola. THAT is the issue. It is fairly sociopathic to do things without regard to the feelings of others. Marvin didn't have to do what he did, but he was a complete coward when it came to women.
Depends on whether in life ior on screen
Anyone who thinks murdering an animal for sport is acceptable, is not someone l expect to be a good human being. I watched the whole video, but nothing appeared to even remotely change my mind.
