Truck Stop Chic on Instagram: "Lee Marvin, the rugged actor known for his tough-guy roles, earned real-life grit as a Marine in World War II. During the Battle of Saipan in 1944, he was seriously wounded, taking a bullet to the butt, which severed his sciatic nerve. This injury left him with a permanent limp, but he went on to Hollywood, where his war experience added an authentic edge to his hard-nosed, iconic characters. #americana #leemarvin #hollywood"
