Herman Ned Marin[1][2] (May 17, 1895[3][4] – November 11, 1955), was an American producer and screenwriter. He produced 15 films between 1923 and 1937.[5]
Marin began working in the film industry in 1920 in Universal Pictures' sales department. He went on to be a producer for First National Company and 20th Century Fox studios. In 1937 Marin became an agent with Famous Artists Corporation, and when he died he was that company's vice president. His obituary in The New York Times described him as "one of Hollywood's leading agents".[7]
On November 11, 1955, Marin died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles at age 60, following surgery for a brain tumor.[16] He was survived by his father,[7] three siblings, his daughter, his son—publisher John Marin—and his granddaughter, casting director and producer Mindy Marin.[17] (Another grandchild, born to his son John the year after Marin's death, is artist/poet Alden John Marin.[18][19][20]) Marin's remains are interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.[21]
