Lee Marvin's Birth Card: The 6 of Diamonds
The Generous Provider
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Academy Award.
In the record
Lamont Warren "Lee" Marvin Jr. (February 19, 1924 – August 29, 1987) was an American actor. The birth-card coordinate for February 19 is the 6 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1966 Best Actor — Cat Ballou win.

The 6 of Diamonds coordinate
Lee Marvin's birthday maps to the 6 of Diamonds (The Generous Provider). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about an Academy Award and not a verdict on Lee Marvin. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You move resources toward other people without erasing your own claim.
Lee Marvin in the public record
Known for his bass voice and prematurely white hair, he is best remembered for playing hardboiled "tough guy" characters. He received various accolades including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and two BAFTA Awards. He was also a decorated United States Marine during the Second World War. He was also a descendant of the Lee family of Virginia. Although initially typecast as the "heavy" (i.e. villainous character), he later gained prominence for portraying anti-heroes, such as Detective Lieutenant Frank Ballinger on the television series M Squad (1957–1960). Marvin's notable roles in film included Vince Stone in The Big Heat (1953), Liberty Valance in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), Charlie Strom in The Killers (1964), Rico Fardan in The Professionals (1966), Major John Reisman in The Dirty Dozen (1967), Walker in Point Blank (1967), Ben Rumson in Paint Your Wagon (1969), the Sergeant in The Big Red One (1980), and Jack Osborne in Gorky Park (1983). Marvin achieved numerous accolades when he portrayed a dual role as gunfighter Kid Shelleen and criminal Tim Strawn for the comedy Western film Cat Ballou (1965), alongside Jane Fonda, a surprise hit which won him the Oscar for Best Actor, along with a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, an NBR Award, and the Silver Bear for Best Actor.

Where the record meets the 3 of Spades
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Lee Marvin, and not a forecast of an Oscar.
