So sorry that our client at ICM has passed
I got him casted as the Captain in a BBC production of the HMS Pinafore. He started out as a big band singer before he hosted Hollywood Sqares.
In an unusual gesture for most clients, he sent me a handwritten thank you note.

My Deepest Sympathy, condolences To The Family Of Peter Marshall Family, Television Entertainment Industry, Fans,
We are all mourning the passing of Peter Marshall that he we be truly missed, yet never be forgotten.
I truly do think that we all do remember watching the "HOLLYWOOD SQUARE" he was a very talented HOST that he has very incredibly, yet talented contestants, Celebrity Guests like Rose Marie, Paul Lynne which they were on the show so many times, which they had the most funny answers along with stories, yet funny most memorable moments with the panelist and I always like Rose Marie and I remember grewing up watching the show until the era of the show end it from 1966-198.
Also, he made a guest appearances on Television Shows like Happy Anniversary and Goodbye he played Greg Carter in 1982, The Rookie played MSGT Peter Marshall in 1959 and The Lucy Show.
In 2002, he returned to the new version of The Hollywood Squares as a panelists during a game show week host by Tom Begeron. Marshall occupied the prestigious center square. For one day that week, Marshall took his position at the.
Thanks for the memories, the laughter that you have brought into our home every night! He is looking down on you all. May the coming days to come that you will be surrounded by your family that you will find the strength of comports and peace at this time of moment enduring sorrow, laughter, love, cherish memories along with stories to tell.

It's more fulfilling to laugh than to cry. What was even more fulfilling was watching Peter Marshall hosting the very light but entertaining Hollywood Squares program.
He will always be an Icon of the 1970's.

Hi Laurie, It's Allen Weiss, Jill Slavin's (LPGA) brother. Jill and I so enjoyed the many golf tournaments we shared together. I also enjoyed the many nights Peter would come to our big band rehearsals to rehears some of his big band vocal charts. So sorry to hear of his passing. If there's a chance you'd be willing to sell any of his library I'd be interested. My number is (818) 652-2445.

Of course, I watched Peter on Hollywood squares but then on PBS television when he was hosting the big band fundraiser. That's when I found out. What a wonderful singer and lover of the big band sound which had so many wonderful musicians and singers. What a great memory I'll have of that of his love of music

Peter was the perfect host for The Hollywood Squares. Loved his genial nature and banter with the contestants and the celebrity guests, and he handled his hosting duties adeptly. They put on some memorable, interesting, and funny shows, and the format fit beautifully with the era when the show aired.

I grew up watching "The Hollywood Squares". Peter was ever the smooth operator as a host. I had the pleasure of meeting Peter at a book signing in Encino back in 1995 and again in 2006 at The Game Show Congress. Peter is one of the nicest celebrities I've met. His wife, Laurie, took a picture of me with Peter.
