E. G.

Among his film roles, he is perhaps best known as the unflappable Juror #4 in Sidney Lumet`s courtroom drama 12 Angry Men.
Marshall was born Everett Eugene Grunz in Owatonna, Minnesota, the son of Hazel Irene (née Cobb) and Charles G. Grunz. During his life, he never divulged fully what `E.G` stood for, telling most people it stood for "Everybody`s Guess".[citation needed] It was thought to mean "Everett Eugene Grunz" or "Edda Gunnar Marshall". Marshall was married three times. He had seven children in all, whose names include Sam, Jed, Sarah, Jill, and Degen. He died of lung cancer in Bedford, New York, on August 24, 1998, at age 84. His grave is in the Middle Patent Rural Cemetery, located in the hamlet of Banksville, a part of the town of North Castle, New York. Biography Credit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._G._Marshall |
