Personal Details

Bio

As an actor, filmmaker, producer, and professional lecturer, Robert Neal Marshall has been an integral part of the Award Winning Cunard Insights© Enrichment Programme for more than twelve years on board the Cunard ships, including Queen Mary 2. Robert brings his creative background with previous history in film & theatrical production and London's West End where he worked with late producer Richard Armitage on several hit shows, including ME AND MY GIRL with Emma Thompson, HIGH SOCIETY with Natasha Richardson, and Rowan Atkinson’s one man show A NEW REVUE.

More profoundly, on August 3, 2013 Robert suffered a major heart attack, going into ventricular fibrillation caused by a 100% blockage of his left anterior descending artery. By remarkable chance of being in an ambulance at the time, paramedics shocked him in an attempt to bring back his heart when Robert flatlined. Eventually resuscitated by CPR, Robert was clinically dead for over a minute and a half. This profound experience changed his total being and life perspective, motivating him to produce a documentary film, BACK FROM THE LIGHT, followed by a powerful and inspirational talk about the challenging after effects of surviving a Near Death Experience.

Also sharing a deep love of film, aviation & maritime history, Robert also offers his special talks on the History of the Newsreels, Cunard's Vibrant Ocean Liner Legacy, and a Retrospective of Commercial Flight with a unique ride on a restored Lockheed Super-G Constellation, a vintage 1950's propeller airliner.

Marshall now brings his insightful and inspirational conversations to audiences all over. All presentations come with extensive video and/or visual illustrations.

History of the Newsreels From Edison to D-Day

Marshall examines early days of film making from the Kinetoscope to capturing world events. Share a personal tribute with rare color movies of the Normandy Landings and the Liberation of Paris. Robert’s grandfather, Jack H. Lieb, was one of several journalists who followed the Allied post Normandy advance across Europe. Working for the newsreel News of the Day, he shot silent color footage of the Utah Beach Landing and Liberation of Paris with a 16mm hand held camera. Lieb's work as a Newsreel Cameraman already included Charles Lindbergh’s daring flight to Paris in 1927, the Revolution in Nicaragua, the Ohio and Mississippi floods of 1937 plus two and a half years covering South, East and Central Africa in the 1930’s. This History of Newsreels travels from London, across the English Channel to the beaches of Normandy, onwards into Paris on the day of Liberation, pre-invasion troops plus Ernie Pyle, Edward G. Robinson, Ernest Hemingway, Eisenhower and towards the end of World War II.

Constellation Dreams - Retrospect of Commercial Airline Service

From a shaky start with early airline passengers riding in open air cockpits sitting on bags of mail and noisy tin tri-motor airliners that often landed in cow pastures, to the heyday of transatlantic Clippers and pressurized airliners that brought the end of an era for Ocean Liners, take a journey that explores the fascinating and sometimes humorous history of international airliners. Trace the development of commercial air service from the birth of airlines like Imperial Airways in the UK to small obscure US air mail carriers that would eventually merge into mega airlines like United, Pan American Airlines and Trans World Airlines. Take a personal flight back in time on rare restored 1950’s airliner, the Super-G Constellation to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York in 2000 as part of TWA's 75th Anniversary. Meet up with a British Airways Concorde and fly around the Statue of Liberty in vintage airliner at 1,200 feet!
