Lee Marvin - Wand'rin' Star - Paint your Wagon

Lee Marvin Wand'rin' Star from the Motion Picture "Paint your Wagon" ........is a musical film released in 1969, adapted by Paddy Chayefsky from the 1951 stage musical by Lerner and Lowe, set in a mining camp in Gold Rush-era California. Chayefsky provided a significantly changed storyline from the stage musical version. In the film "Rumson" is simply called "No Name City", and Ben Rumson has no daughter. The former "Julio" is now an American (Clint Eastwood) and Ben's (Lee Marvin) partner (he is called "Pardner") in the gold claim. LEE MARVIN (February 19, 1924 August 29, 1987) was an American film actor. Known for his gravelly voice, white hair and 6' 2" stature, Marvin at first did supporting roles, mostly villains, soldiers, and other hard-boiled characters, but after winning a Best Actor Oscar for his dual roles in Cat Ballou, he landed more heroic and sympathetic leading roles.
