Noel Marshall was an agent and producer in Hollywood, California. He was the executive producer of the 1973 horror film The Exorcist. He also wrote, co-produced and starred in the film Roar (1981), which also featured his then-wife Tippi Hedren, stepdaughter Melanie Griffith, and his two sons from his previous marriage. Marshall's other son worked behind the scenes on the accident-ridden film that featured tigers and lions. The film took eleven years and $17 million to make, and brought in only $2 million worldwide. Marshall was also an executive producer on two of Tippi Hedren's films: Mr. Kingstreet's War and The Harrad Experiment (both 1973). One of his later films where he was credited as executive producer was A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), starring the late River Phoenix.
