Program 48 - March, 1974 - E.G. Marshall
| Everett G. Marshall was
born on 6/18/1910
in Owatonna, Minnesota. Mr. Marshall started out on radio in his native
Minnesota, then headed for New York and Broadway. After several years'
solid stage service, Marshall began accepting small roles in such films
as 13 Rue Madeline (1945) and Call Northside 777 (1947). A mainstay of
television's so-called Golden Age, Marshall excelled in incisive,
authoritative roles. Long before winning two Emmy awards for his
portrayal of lawyer Lawrence Preston on TV's The Defenders (1961-65),
Marshall was associated with fictional jurisprudence as the military
prosecutor in The Caine Mutiny (1954) and as Juror #4 in Twelve Angry
Men (1957). In contrast to his businesslike demeanor, Marshall is one of Hollywood's most notorious pranksters; he was never more impish than when he ad-libbed profanities and nonsequiturs while his lips were hidden by a surgical mask in the 1969-73 TV series The Bold Ones. The best of E.G. Marshall's work of the 1970s and 1980s includes the role of the straying husband in Woody Allen's Interiors (1977), the U.S. President in Superman II (1978) and General Eisenhower in the 1985 TV miniseries War and Remembrance. Continuing to flourish into the 1990s, Marshall was seen in the 1993 TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Tommyknockers, and was cast as Arthur Thurmond on the 1994 medical series Chicago Hope. Radio fans will remember E.G. Marshall as the unctuous host ("Pleasant dreeeaaammms") of the 1970s anthology The CBS Radio Mystery Theatre. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide |
