William Marshall(1917-1994)

He came from a very conservative family background. When first wife Michèle Morgan moved to Hollywood and had her house built at 10050 Cielo Drive, he refused to move in with her (because, in his family's views, it was dishonorable for a man to live at his woman's place), so he demanded that she sell the property. The house was eventually bought by director Roman Polanski, and in 1969 it was the site of the infamous murders committed by the Charles Manson clan in which Polanski's wife Sharon Tate was one of the victims.
