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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDwayne Epstein\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance journalist and author whose reviews, essays, and articles have appeared in numerous film publications and newspapers, including \u003ci\u003eFilmFax\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOutre\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVariety\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as Bill Krohn's books \u003ci\u003eSerious Pleasures\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHitchcock at Work\u003c\/i\u003e.
