American actors Paul Newman and Lee Marvin wearing cowboy hats Tucson, Arizona for a publicity still for Stuart Rosenberg’s 1972 comedy western film ‘Pocket Money’. From what Terry O’Neill remembers of the photo-shoot it was "when I arrived on set of Pocket Money, Lee had fallen out with everyone and the mood was grim. I thought I’ll grab the bull by the horns and introduce myself. Marvin said: “Hi, I love the English,” and he let me in, with access to all areas. Somehow I convinced Paul Newman and him to take this photo together and it was chosen to be the movie poster."

An iconic figure in Hollywood history, Paul Newman was an Academy Award-winning actor, acclaimed director, race car driver and noted philanthropist who helped define the male lead in motion pictures from the mid-1950s through the 21st century. He won several national championships as a driver in Sports Car Club America road racing, and was the co-founder of the food company empire known as Newman’s Own.

Lee Marvin was an American film and television actor. Known for his distinctive voice and premature white hair, he initially appeared in supporting roles, mostly as villains, soldiers, and other hard boiled characters. Like most actors, Marvin played some uncredited bit parts and character roles in his first films. He eventually earned lead roles when his aggressive nature was perceived by such directors as Edward Dmytryk, Fritz Lang, and John Boorman. Marvin appeared in about 70 films between 1951 and 1986. He likely stands out among the roughneck actors due to an innate predilection toward violence, which makes any malevolent Marvin character ring true.
