{"product_id":"lee-marvin-dwayne-epstein-9781936182572","title":"Lee Marvin: Point Blank","description":"The 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 The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or the paternal yet brutally realistic platoon leader in The Big Red One--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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dwayne Epstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936182572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936182572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schaffner Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Dwayne Epstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995178795263,"sku":"9781936182572","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a650a08-80a1-4660-88ff-63ebae4a7653.jpg?v=1683334299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lee-marvin-dwayne-epstein-9781936182572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
