Herbert Marshall Facts
Herbert Marshall had one wooden leg, the right, which was kept a secret to the public for most of his career. He lost his leg in action during WWI.

Although a single leg amputee, he had mastered this minor inconvenience so well that, in "The Letter" opposite Bette Davis, they included a scene in which he raced up a long curved staircase taking the steps two at a time.

Grandfather of Timothy M. Bourne.
