Clarence Leroy "Lee" Van Cleef, Jr. (January 9, 1925 – December 16, 1989), was an American actor whose sinister features overshadowed his acting skills and typecast him as a minor villain for a decade before he achieved stardom in Spaghetti Westerns such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Hatchet-faced with piercing eyes, he declined to have his hook nose altered to play a sympathetic character in his film debut, High Noon, and was relegated to a non-speaking outlaw as a result. Van Cleef had suffered serious injuries in a car crash, and had begun to lose interest in his apparently waning career by the time Sergio Leone gave him a role in For a Few Dollars More. The film made him a box-office draw, especially in Europe.
Van Cleef was born on January 9, 1925 in Somerville, New Jersey, the son of Marion Levinia (née Van Fleet) and Clarence LeRoy Van Cleef. At the age of 17, he obtained his high school diploma early in his senior year in order to enlist in the United States Navy in September, 1942. After basic training and further training at the Naval Fleet Sound School, he was assigned to a submarine chaser and then to a minesweeper, USS Incredible, on which he worked as a sonarman.

The Western is a genre of various arts, such as comics, fiction, film, games, radio, and television which tell stories set primarily in the later half of the 19th century in the American Old West, often centering on the life of a nomadic cowboy or gunfighter. Westerns often stress the harshness of the wilderness and frequently set the action in an arid, desolate landscape of deserts and mountains. Specific settings include ranches, small frontier towns and saloons of the Wild West. Characters typically include Native Americans, bandits, lawmen, outlaws and soldiers. Some are set in the American colonial era.
Western films first became well-attended in the 1930s, and were highly popular throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Many of the most acclaimed Westerns were released during this time – including High Noon (1952), Shane (1953), The Searchers (1956), and The Wild Bunch (1969). Classic Westerns such as these have been the inspiration for various films about Western-type characters in contemporary settings, such as Junior Bonner (1972) set in the 1970s and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) in the 21st century. The Western was the most popular Hollywood genre from the early 20th century to the 1960s.
The American frontier comprises the geography, history, folklore, and cultural expression of life in the forward wave of American westward expansion that began with English colonial settlements in the early 17th century and ended with the admission of the last mainland territories as states in 1912. In North American development, "frontier" refers to a contrasting region at the edge of a European-American line of settlement, or settled area. American folklore is focused primarily on the 19th century, especially west of the Mississippi River. Enormous popular attention in the media focuses on the Western United States in the second half of the 19th century, a period sometimes called the Old West, or the Wild West, frequently exaggerating the romance and violence of the period.
As defined by Hine and Faragher, "frontier history tells the story of the creation and defense of communities, the use of the land, the development of markets, and the formation of states." They explain, "It is a tale of conquest, but also one of survival, persistence, and the merging of peoples and cultures that gave birth and continuing life to America." Through treaties with foreign nations and native tribes; political compromise; military conquest; establishment of law and order; the building of farms, ranches, and towns; the marking of trails and digging of mines; and the pulling in of great migrations of foreigners, the United States expanded from coast to coast, fulfilling the dreams of Manifest Destiny. Historian Frederick Jackson Turner in his "Frontier Thesis" (1893) theorized that the frontier was a process that transformed Europeans into a new people, the Americans, whose values focused on equality, democracy, and optimism, as well as individualism, self-reliance, and even violence. Thus, Turner's Frontier Thesis proclaimed the westward frontier as the defining process of American history.

Got a classic Red Ryder at Rocky Camp
Out in ol' Hat Creek
Lookin' for jaybirds left and right
Try and knock 'em up out the tree
Everybody I know's watchin' Clint
They all like watchin' Clint
All the little snypes want to be like Clint
They all want to be like Clint
But I want to be like Lee Van Cleef
Ya know I want to be like Lee
What ever happened to Lee Van Cleef?
What ever happened to Lee?
A yellow Studebaker with a 302
A seat of green naugahyde
I put a couple of dings in that pickup truck
A few more dents in his pride
At Hilltop Drive-in they're watchin' Clint
They all like watchin' Clint
On the big screen they want to see old Clint
They all want to see old Clint
But I want to see Lee Van Cleef
Ya know I like to see old Lee
What ever happened to Lee Van Cleef?
What ever happened to Lee?
Now the Studebaker's gone and Lee's passed on
Clint's still as sharp as can be
The Hilltop Drive-in is an auto mall
But no one's built over Lee
We all get a kick out of watchin' Clint
We all get a kick out of Clint
There ain't never been one quite like Clint
There's really only one Clint
But I really did like Lee Van Cleef
I sure did really like Lee
What ever happened to Lee Van Cleef?
What ever happened to Lee?
We still get a kick out of watchin' Clint
We all get a kick out of Clint
There ain't never been one quite like Clint
There's really only one Clint
I always did like Lee Van Cleef
Always did like Lee
Nobody's steely like Lee Van Cleef
What ever happened to Lee?
