Noel Marshall
Noel Marshall (April 18, 1931, Chicago[1] – June 30, 2010) was an agent in Hollywood, California in the 1960s.[2] He later became the executive producer of the 1973 horror film The Exorcist.[3] He wrote, directed, co-produced and starred in the film Roar (1981), which also featured his then-wife Tippi Hedren, stepdaughter Melanie Griffith, and his sons, John and Jerry, from a previous marriage to Jaye Joseph.[4] Roar was an accident-ridden film that featured tigers and lions.[5][6] The film took eleven years and $17 million to make, and brought in only $2 million worldwide.[7]
Marshall, who was married to Hedren from 1964 to 1982, was also an executive producer on two of her films, Mr. Kingstreet's War and The Harrad Experiment (both 1973).[4] One of his later films where he was credited as executive producer was A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), starring River Phoenix.[8]
Marshall died of brain cancer on June 30, 2010.[9]
