[@neutronalchemist3241]

He had a tougher life. WWII in the Navy, then his Hollywood career had been ended by a car accident. He had problems with alcool before Leone recalled of "that actor with a sharp face" he saw in High Noon, thought he would have been perfect for the part, and searched for him. That's why he looked like he was in his '50s in the movie.

[@AliasMark69]

Lee Van Cleef dressed exactly like one of his childhood heroes in two movies “Spaghetti Westerns’ Wyatt Earp. Lee’s costume is a perfect copy of the famous outfit worn by Wyatt Earp in 1881 in Tombstone Arizona. Lee provided his own clothes as did Clint Eastwood. Lee even used a 12 inch barrel Colt like the one used by Marshall Earp. The Hat, Coat, Shirt, Vest, Tie with Tie pin, Boots, Guns every detail is a Tribute to the most famous Lawman-Marshall in American history. John Wayne often said he used Wyatt Earp as his main character influences. Every time he walked onto the stage set he pretended to be Marshall Earp. Clint Eastwood made his character Harry Callahan “Dirty Harry” after Marshall Wyatt Earp. The biggest influence on many western movies and actors has been the most famous lawman Wyatt Earp

And he and his wife were sitting behind us, I was freaking out, said to her I have to say hello. I could tell it was him because of his eyes! Got up and walked over, said excuse me, but you are Lee Van Cleef aren’t you, he said yes. I said when your movies come on my buddies and I drink Jack Daniel’s together and smoke cigars…..he laughed… very cordial and a very nice guy! I was so stoked to meet him!!! He died not long after. RIP to the coolest outlaw in TV land!

[@JamminClemmons]

Lee was even good in the B-rated sci-fi movie, "It Conquered the World." He guided an evil alien to Earth via two-way communication using a unit at his home. He (and the rest of the cast) were very annoyed where, at the end, Lee was instructed to use a cheap blowtorch to kill the alien as the real annhilator didn't arrive on a flatbed truck in time. It's *CHEESY,* but Van Cleef played a believable role. - By the Way, Frank Zappa has an intro about that movie in his song, "Cheepnis," where he mocks the hell out of it.
