Noel Marshall (April 18, 1931 – June 30, 2010) was an American agent, co-producer, brief director, and actor.
He moved to Hollywood, California in his 20s and began investing in the production of a handful of films, including William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist.
In the 70s, Marshall and his family, which included his wife, Tippi Hedren, and step-daughter, Melanie Griffith, began production on Roar, which is notorious for taking 11 years to make and was an accident-ridden production due to the many injuries sustained and damages caused on-set.
Around 70 people were injured during the making of the film, and it later received the tagline "The most dangerous movie ever made".
