Brando, who spent five years in prison on voluntary manslaughter charges for shooting his half-sister's boyfriend, was one of the men who Bakley thought might have fathered her daughter, Rose.
On the tape, apparently made before the paternity test, Brando denies he is the infant's father and warns Bakley that her practice of soliciting money from men through the mail with promises of sex was making her lethal enemies, though he said he wasn't one of them.
Brando has yet to respond to the release of the tape and Braun's characterization of him, but authorities deny Braun's charge that police didn't adequately investigate Brando and say that neither Brando nor anyone else besides Blake and Caldwell is a suspect.

 The religion of Marlon Brando, actor
Brando's grandfather was an active member in sponsoring and laying the foundation for the Theosophists and his eccentric passions were passed on.
Given Brando's religious background as a child, his earlier interest in becoming a minister, his support of various religious groups, his documented superstitious nature, and his lifelong interest in religion, "atheist" is probably an inaccurate - or at least overly simplistic - label to apply to Brando.
Brando controlled such a level of control over his body and mental state through meditation that when he decided to be circumcised, he asked to do so without anesthesia, although doctors were reluctant to let him do so.

 Remembering Brando - Marlon Brando (1924-2004) - MSNBC.com
Brando at first balked at doing the film because Kazan had named names during the anti-Communist investigations of the period, and the Malloy character was widely interpreted as representing Kazan’s defense of  becoming a “stool pigeon.” It was the last work they would do together.
In the early 1960s, Brando was accused of self-indulgence when “One-Eyed Jacks” and “Mutiny on the Bounty” went over-budget, yet his work in both of these films is quite witty and assured.
To anyone under 30, Brando is probably most recognizable as the bloated, demented Col. Kurtz in “Apocalypse Now” -- or as the bloated, reclusive father of Christian Brando, who spent five years in prison for murdering the boyfriend of his half-sister, Cheyenne, who later killed herself.

Moral equivocation was a common trait among several of Marlon Brando's characters in the early part of his career, and so it makes good theoretical sense that he would play the role of Fletcher Christian, the tormented first mate aboard the British naval vessel Bounty.
Brando's character is also a breezy dilletante ultimately driven to act on the sailor's behalf as much by his rivalry with Bligh as by any moral concerns.
Brando is, contrary to what everyone else has to say, perfect for the role of Fletcher Christian...and his acting makes the film worth watching.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Shelly Samuels dismissed Brando as a suspect, saying he had an alibi for the time of the murder and adding: "He doesn't even have a motive.

Brando's interpretation of the character has him morph from a rather foppish aristocrat to a decent shipboard leader and later a mutineer against the dreadful tyranny of Bligh (Howard).
Perhaps this is a reflection of the mental uncertainties of Christian himself.
The love-affair between Christian and the king's daughter just tails off perfunctorily into nothing, in spite of the fact that she goes with him to Pitcairn --- which isn't explained at all.
