Why do you admire the Oscar-winning actor Lee Marvin?

Mateo Elijah

In his humble/generous acceptance speech for Best Actor Oscar for the 1965 comedy “Cat Ballou”, Lee Marvin told the cheering audience,

——-“There are too many people to thank for my career. Half this award belongs to some horse out in the Valley. Thank you”——-

referring to the iconic shot in the film of Lee Marvin and the horse he’s on—-—both drunk——leaning against a wall.
