Hollywood Stars : George Marshall

George Marshall (director), George E. Marshall (December 29, 1891 – February 17, 1975) was a prolific American actor, screenwriter, producer, film and television director, active through the first six decades of movie history.Relatively few of Marshalls films are well-known today, with Destry Rides Again, The Sheepman, and How the West Was Won being the biggest exceptions. Marshall co-directed How the West Was Won with John Ford and Henry Hathaway, handling the railroad segment, which featured a celebrated buffalo stampede sequence. While Marshall worked on almost all kinds of films imaginable, he started his career in the early silent period doing mostly Westerns, a genre he never completely abandoned. Later in his career, he was particularly sought after for comedies. He did around half a dozen films each with Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis, and also worked with W.C. Fields, Jackie Gleason, Will Rogers and Laurel and Hardy.For his contribution to the film industry, George Marshall has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7048 Hollywood Boulevard.[edit] Selected filmographyAcross the Rio Grande (1916)The Waiters Ball (1916)The Committee on Credentials (1916)Loves Lariat (1916)A Womans Eyes (1916)The Devils Own (1916)Double Suspicion (1917)The Midnight Flyer (1918)The Adventures of Ruth (1919)Ruth of the Rockies (1920)Pack Up Your Troubles (1932) (also actor)Their First Mistake (1932)Towed in a Hole (1932)365 Nights in Hollywood (1934)Life Begins at Forty (1935)In Old Kentucky (1935)Show Them No Mercy!
