Lee Marshall, Better Known As Tony The Tiger, Is Dead At 64 — cinemablend.com

Always fascinated by radio, Lee Marshall began helping out around his local radio station before he was in middle school. At the age of 14, he hilariously secured a full time job with a radio station in Phoenix. He played music from 7 to midnight. The listeners had no idea he was a teenager. A few years later, he started reading the news and broadcasting at the city’s most popular rock station.
