Marshal died of a heart attack while appearing on the Chicago stage with Mae West in "Sextet". The play was later made into the movie Sextette (1977), with Timothy Dalton in Marshal's stage role.

Helped raise millions of dollars by touring the U.S. during World War II, selling Treasury Bonds.

Suffered from a chronic nervous condition which ended his film career, forcing him to return to the theater.

Original casting choice for Rhett Butler in गॉन विथ द विंड (1939).

Worked on stage in his native Australia before his move to Hollywood.

Friend of James Stewart.

Worked in Hollywood at MGM and under contract for David O. Selznick.

Disliked the studio system, especially being loaned out to other studios for inferior B-pictures.

A handsome, brunette, mustachioed Australian-born actor in the George Brent tradition who bolstered many femme stars in late 30s romantic dramas, including Greta Garbo and Irene Dunne.

Physically not dissimilar to Errol Flynn, though not possessed of the same physical presence, and cast in much more sedate and conventional leading man roles.

Among his favorite hobbies were photography, painting (both watercolour and oil), playing tennis and cycling.

Although he is listed as playing "Ted" in the cast of The Opposite Sex (M-G-M's 1956 musical remake of The Women) Marshall is only seen briefly, seated next to Ann Sheridan in the final scene, and has no close-ups and no dialogue, suggesting his role may have been cut down considerably in editing.

In the mid 1940s, just as he was about to star in Claudia, Marshal suffered an apparent nervous breakdown and temporarily retired from film work. When he later made his return, he never again had a starring role or above the title billing.
