Lee Marvin

Reportage Assignments

Lee Marvin

Courtroom art, NBC News from 1979 Palimony trial. Lee Marvin finally noticed us drawing him and gave us the finger on the forehead scratching gesture then a cross eyed look as Michelle Triola described her “heroic efforts” holding a drunken Lee Marvin by his ankles as he tried to plunge out a 20th story window. According to Michelle she save his life on numerous occasions. She was well over 5ft tall.  Lee Marvin looked like a guy you did not want to be on the wrong side of. The only guy I ever met whom I felt could kick Chuck Norris with one hand lighting a cigarette. Coolest of the cool.
