Biography
Prematurely white-haired character star who began as a supporting
player of generally vicious demeanor, then metamorphosed into a
star of both action and drama projects. Born in New York City to
Lamont Marvin, an advertising executive, and his wife Courtenay, a
fashion writer, the young Marvin was thrown out of dozens of
schools for incorrigibility. His parents took him to Florida, where
he attended St. Leo's Preparatory School near Dade City. Dismissed
there as well, he enlisted in the U.S. Marines at the beginning of
World War II. In the battle of Saipan in June 1944, he was wounded
in the buttocks by Japanese fire which severed his sciatic nerve.
He was invalided home and got menial work as a plumber's apprentice
in Woodstock, New York. While repairing a toilet at the local
community theatre, he was asked to replace an ailing actor in a
rehearsal. He was immediately stricken with a love for the theatre
and went to New York City, where he studied and played small roles
in stock and Off-Broadway. He landed an extra role in 'Henry
Hathaway' (qv)'s U.S.S. Teakettle, and found his role expanded when
Hathaway took a liking to him. Returning to the stage, he made his
Broadway debut in Billy Budd, and after a long succession of small
TV roles, moved to Hollywood, where he began playing heavies and
cops in roles of increasing size and frequency. Given a leading
role in Eight Iron Men, he followed it with enormously memorable
heavies in The Big Heat and The Wild One. Now established as a
major screen villain, Marvin began shifting toward leading roles
with a successful run as a police detective in the TV series 'M
Squad'. A surprise Oscar for his dual role as a drunken gunfighter
and his evil, noseless brother in the Western comedy Cat Ballou
placed him in the upper tiers of Hollywood leading men, and he
filled out his career with predominantly action-oriented films. A
long-term romantic relationship with Michelle Triola led, after
their breakup, to a highly publicized lawsuit in which Triola asked
for a substantial portion of Marvin's assets. Her case failed in
its main pursuit, but did establish a legal precedent for the
rights of unmarried cohabitors, the so-called "palimony" law.
Marvin continued making films of varying quality, always as a star,
until his sudden death from a heart attack in 1987.
