Handsome, sexy and primal,
Marlon Brando was like a force of nature when he exploded
on the screen in the 1950's. Although critics complained
that he mumbled, the audience, particularly young people,
went wild over him.
Considered by some to be
the finest actor of his generation, Marlon Brando's defining
role would be as the brutish Stanley Kowalski in STREETCAR
NAMED DESIRE for which he won a Best
Actor Award.
Notable films include: DON
JUAN DE MARCO, THE WILD ONE, ON
THE WATERFRONT, THE
GODFATHER his 2nd Oscar,
THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, SUPERMAN,
APOCALYPSE
NOW, and THE SCORE.
After being slim and trim
in his youth, Marlon Brando grew to be over 300 lbs in
later life. Brando claimed candidly that he had exchanged
an earlier passion for women for a passion for food.
