{"product_id":"books-lee-marvin-by-dwayne-epstein","title":"Lee Marvin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first full-length, authoritative, and detailed story of the iconic actor's life to go beyond the Hollywood scandal-sheet reporting of earlier books, this account offers an appreciation for the man and his acting career and the classic films he starred in, painting a portrait of an individual who took great risks in his acting and career. Although Lee Marvin is best known for his icy tough guy roles--such as his chilling titular villain in \u003ci\u003eThe Man\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eWho Shot Liberty Valance\u003c\/i\u003e or the paternal yet brutally realistic platoon leader in \u003ci\u003eThe Big Red One\u003c\/i\u003e--very little is known of his personal life; his family background; his experiences in WWII; his relationship with his father, family, friends, wives; and his ongoing battles with alcoholism, rage, and depression, occasioned by his postwar PTSD. Now, after years of researching and compiling interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues; rare photographs; and illustrative material, Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein provides a full understanding and appreciation of this acting titan's place in the Hollywood pantheon in spite of his very real and human struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669168283921,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781936182404.jpg?v=1781506548","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-lee-marvin-by-dwayne-epstein","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
