He had a magnetic charisma on screen that immediately grabbed the viewer's attention. He could say so much with just his eyes and facial expressions without having to say a word.

As a young girl I absolutely LOVED Lee Van Cleef. He was my first CRUSH! I fell for his sexy villainous look when dad watched the Good the Bad and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. It was always playing somewhere on tv, so Dad would always turn it on when it was on the schedule. Anyhow, I’m pretty sure Lee Van Cleef was the model for the men I found myself quite drawn to as a young woman…and today!

He was an absolue legend 🔝

Without Lee, Clint’s career probably would have stagnated in the Spaghetti western genre after ‘A fistful of dollars’. I recall being just as mesmerised by Lees incredible super cool portrayal as the relentless Bounty Hunter as I was by Clint and Gian Maria Volonte. All of them were absolutely great throughout the sequels, Lee adding an extra edge of meanness and cool, clever cunning.

He is one of kind man. I like all his movies.

Excellent villain actor. His presence resonated past the screen and scared you silly. Very tall man for sure. Love these wonderful shows and great actors like Mr. Van Cleef.
