Herbert Marshall, born Herbert Brough Falcon Marshall, in London, England, (May 23, 1890 - January 22, 1966) was a popular English cinema and theatre actor. His parents were Percy F. Marshall and Ethel May Turner. He graduated from St. Mary's College in Harrow and worked for a time as an accounting clerk. Marshall overcame the loss of a leg during the Great War (World War I), where he served in the London Scottish Regiment ([1]) 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 (1927). 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 The Little Foxes, Trouble in Paradise and The Razor's Edge. He was married five times, including marriages to the actresses Edna Best, with whom he appeared in The Calendar, Michael and Mary and The Faithful Heart, and Boots Mallory to whom he was married from 1947 until her death in 1958.
