How could you not like Marlon? He liked to fuck with people, plus he dug cats and food. And if you were an especially good friend, he might call you at night and wake your unworthy ass up to sing to you. Imagine the honor of that!
My favorite Brando story is that Marlon was trying to lose some weight, so he asked his housekeeper to lock the gate to his estate so that he couldn't go in to town for food after the housekeeper left for the day. Sometime during the evening, Marlon got hungry for some McDonald's, and since he couldn't get off the damn estate, he phoned the local McDonald's and offered to pay a worker there to drive up the hill and throw him a bag of burgers over the estate wall. That shit is American ingenuity at it's finest.
I love you, Marlon, wherever you are. God bless you.

Elaine Stritch said when she knew Brando he said this to her, "Elaine I want two things from you... SILENCE and DISTANCE."
a true legend, and one hunk of a man, right to the very end
Jane,
I love Elaine Stritch. Broad is a hoot.
Terena,
Yes ma'am. Indeed.
Looooves me some Marlon Brando. Aaaand he was from Omaha. OK... he was born here. Come visit me and we will find his birthplace. I bet there is a unicorn marking the spot!
I don't know. After that Tango in Paris movie I sort of got creeped out by him.
God love Marlon! I'll never forget that scene in Heart of Darkness where he's moaning that he looks fat on camera. Love you xx
Ge's one of my favorites too.
"STELLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Raw as Stanley Kowalski in 'Streetcar'
Apocalypse Now comes to mind as well.
Good stuff.
Peace
He will remain the Godfather to me.
Omgrrl,
Yes, he was THE TOTAL COOLNESS. I'll bet there is a unicorn, too.
Ms. Moon,
Tango was sort of creepy. I didn't get the hubbub over it, frankly.
My favorite role was Apocalypse Now. The man fascinated me.
