Herbert Marshall

Herbert Marshall, born Herbert Brough Falcon Marshall, was an English actor.

His parents were Percy F. Marshall and Ethel May Turner. He graduated from St. Mary’s College in Old Harlow, Essex and worked for a time as an accounting clerk. Marshall overcame the loss of a leg in World War I, where he served in the London Scottish Regiment with fellow actors Basil Rathbone, Ronald Colman, and Claude Rains, to enjoy a long career.

His stage debut took place in 1911, and he entered motion pictures with Mumsie. Initially he played romantic leads and later character roles. The suave actor spent many years playing romantic leads opposite such stars as Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis, and starring in such classics as Trouble in Paradise, The Little Foxes, and The Razor’s Edge. He was featured in both the 1929 and the more famous 1940 version of The Letter, first as the murdered lover, then the wronged husband.
