Before I was able to finally get a publisher for Lee Marvin Point Blank, I lucked into some great freelance work for Filmfax Magazine. Interviewing the former Judtih Jacklin in 2006 was a dream come true for this die-hard fan of her late husband. Shy at first, she could tell I had done my homework on her late husband’s career and quickly opened up to me with great tales not even mentioned in her book.
