Thanks for the VERY impressive response to my query as it confirms my suspicions about the great man's frustrations about Hollywood in his later days. I appreciate your kind words about my Marvin bio, by the way. Thankfully, it's still selling as I hope yours is, as well. Feel free to check out on A...

Hi Scott, Allow me to be one of the last to welcome you to Silver Screen Oasis. I was a guest a few months back answering queries about my bio on Lee Marvin and like me, you may have already discovered what a knowledgeable and devoted group of classic movie fans there are here. I haven't read your b...

Dwayne, thank you for posting such a wonderful photo of Christopher Marvin and Clu Gulager. We really have appreciated your visit here, and wish you all our best! Please follow Dwayne's link if you are ready for your copy of LEE MARVIN: Point Blank! I've said it before I'll say it again because it ...

Hope this works: Pictured in the photo are Christopher Marvin (left) and Clu Gulager in the lobby of the Aero theater. Christopher does look like his dad doesn't he? And check out the mane of hair Gulager still sports!

Hi, I've been enjoying this discussion of Lee Marvin and his adventures. Could you also expand a little on Clu Gulager? I've had a crush on him for years :oops: Thanks for being so generous with your time here! Nancy Thank you for your interest. I'm not quite sure what else I can say about Clu Gula...

FINALLY! Okay, in the photo are from the left moderator Jim Hemphill, Point Blank producer Jud Bernard, myself, Lee Marvin's son Christopher and Clu Gulager giving the punchline to his story to an amazed audience!

Dwayne, just one more. On February 8, a double feature of The Killers and Point Blank were screened at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica and Jim Hemphill moderated a panel with you, Clu Gulagher, producer Jud Bernard, and Christopher Marvin. I would love to hear any comments about your experiences, ...

Dwayne, you are shameless! But if I had written the book about Lee Marvin, I would keep promoting it, too. Your responses about Robert Ryan and Jason Robards are thoughtful, not reckless, and "agreeing to disagree" is just fine. So glad you read her thread. Are there any other SSO Guest S...

Mr. Epstein, Good afternoon! I grew up in Las Vegas back in the day when The Professionals was being filmed nearby in the Valley of Fire. The cast was stayed at the Mint Hotel and Casino on Fremont Street. Across the street from the Mint was the Pioneer Club with the talking neon cowboy sign, Vegas...

Thank you so much for your response to the questions concerning character actors. Wonderful! We also had a visit from Robert Ryan's daughter, Lisa. Her archived thread can be read here: http://silverscreenoasis.com/oasis3/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2658 Since you conducted interviews with Cheyney, Mi...

Dwayne, we also are quite fond of character actors here at The Silver Screen Oasis, and I've reviewed your extensive list of interviews that you have conducted in preparation for Lee Marvin: Point Blank , and I was hoping to find out a little more about some of them if you have any stories you'd lo...

Oh my gosh, that's hilarious! I could picture Boone saying that and almost hear his deep growly voice. Thanks so much. I just started reading your book. The story you tell at the very beginning, about Lee Strasberg is AMAZING. I don't know too many actors who would do what Marvin did. I very much a...

I loved your stories about Woody Strode! I am a huge Strode and John Ford fan, so this is just icing on the cake! Mr. Epstein, I just want to say that this has been one of my very favorite Q&A's, first of all because Lee Marvin is such an interesting and layered personality, but also because yo...

One of the aspects sadly missing in many films today in which filmmakers feel it necessary to hold the audience's hand and explain everything as if we were all twelve-year-olds. In Point Blank, you either get it or you don;t and I personally prefer such storytelling techniques. Personally, I think ...

Mr. Epstein, Quick question for you regarding the palimony suit and Michele Triola. Was she close to actor Dick Van Dyke when she was with Lee? I never got to interview Michele Triola but I can tell you that she wasn't involved with DIck Van Dyke when she was with Lee, as far as I know. Her relatio...
