June 24, 1965 –
The western comedy, Cat Ballou, directed by Elliot Silverstein and starring Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin, Tom Nardini, Michael Callan, Dwayne Hickman, Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye, was released on this date.
Lee Marvin’s larger-than-life personality and fondness for tipping back the bottle made the actor a raucous but irresistible presence on the set. “Working with Lee Marvin was an unbelievable experience,” said Dwayne Hickman. “Never have I met such an outrageous personality. Lee loved to drink, and the more he drank, the more outrageous he became. He had a story about everything and everybody. He also had very definite theories on acting and a style that was all his own. Lee figured if a little bit was good, a lot would be so much better.“
