In later years, he was the focal point of the documentary film titled “Marjoe,” which won an Academy Award.
When Gortner was a very young child, his parents advised him to inform the world that he had experienced a heavenly vision while nearly drowning while taking a bath. These instructions were part of the evangelical preaching skills that Gortner learned from his parents.

Marjoe Gortner severed ties with the rest of his family and followed a career in acting after his minister father, Vernon Gortner, stole the millions of dollars that young Marjoe had made on the revivalist tour. During the latter part of the 1970s, he entered into a temporal marriage with the actress Candy Clark.
