E.G. Marshall did all that work, but he'll always be the host of CBS Radio Mystery Theater to me. It was every night at 9p on KNX 1070 AM radio in Los Angeles. I was so depressed when it was canceled, I wrote a letter to CBS in New York, and some sweet lady by the name of Marjorie Holyoak wrote back to me and informed me that the show was indeed canceled, the producer would not make tapes available, and it was a sad day. However, here we are in a new century, and we own them on CD ROM. Unreal.

Classic films "12 Angry Men", classic television "The Defenders", classic radio as long-time host of "CBS Radio Mystery Theatre", 1974-1982. He added a touch of common-sense class to everything he did.
