This is shocking; he kept such good care of himself! *cough* Jabs aside, here's to a great actor and a bizarre man. Rest in peace.
bizarre enough, indeed, to be friends with Michael jackson and Godfather (no pun intended) of Jacko's kids. i witnessed Brando's speech at MJ30th Anniversary in MSG, and he silenced the crowd with his rambling. "Sep 2001 In a bizarre performance, Marlon Brando appears in sunglasses in a leather recliner onstage at Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary Celebration in Madison Square Garden: "In any event while you're... wondering who that old fat fart is sitting there... I wanted you to realize that in that minute there were hundreds if not thousands of children hacked to death with a machete, beaten to death by their parents, got typhus and died of a disease." Brando examines his watch for a bit. "Hundreds of children have been hacked to death in the minute I've looked at my watch. Hundreds more were beaten. Don't chat! Think about what I'm saying. It could be you." Then the booing commences with great fervor." still, though, it is sad to come home and read this. RIP Don Corleone
'To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty. To interpret it is his problem, and to express it is his dedication." +
"And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you." RIP Don Corleone
Yes, he would have made the others look silly. Rest in peace, Marlon Brando. I hope you've found it at last.
Amazing actor. Whether playing Stanley or Don Vito, he had a very imposing presence, accomplished by very few on the screen. Rest in Peace.
