	Lipper Publications Presents: Patricia Bosworth
		In 1926, when Brando was two, he and his family moved with Nana to a bigger house at 1026 Third Street, and Dodie began filling the living room with bohemians and oddballs, as well as friends from the community theater, such as the Fonda family and the parents of Dorothy McGuire, the actress.
		Brando has told friends that his earliest memory was lying in bed with his mother, sharing a bowl of milk and crackers.
		Brando did not remind him that often instead of attending classes he went to Chicago to hunt for his mother, whom he usually found slumped in some bar passed out in her own vomit.

		MARLON BRANDO, who was credited with re-inventing acting for the screen rather than the stage, went from the first man of Hollywood to a highly eccentric and cantankerous recluse forced to live on social security.
		Brando retreated even further from the limelight after the success of The Godfather, restricting his career to supporting roles, such as the renegade Colonel Walter E Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.
		Brando’s private life - he married three times and had 11 children - was chaotic and tragic.

	The Men (1950) \| Movie Review
		Brando didn't relate to the symbolism; he related to the story, because to the outside world, little was known about these poor, shattered young men who lay in veterans' hospitals all over the country, marriages broken, fiancees gone, returning to former careers out of the question.
		Brando became especially close to one vet who had struggled for a year to learn how to light a cigarette, since he no longer had the use of his arms.
		Brando studied her for a long time, and then with a gigantic effort, he hoisted himself up.

	Reviews
		The famous Brando mumble might typify him—then as now—but his vocal range and finely attuned ear, Bosworth is right to observe, is never given full credit and his performance in his early films is evidence of it.
		Brando’s personal life, the kidnapping, trials and drug addictions of his many children, his numerous wives, his own ballooning weight and battles with food are outlined by Bosworth succinctly and with probity but her attention is on the work and how the man is present within it.
		Brando is his work—astonishing and exasperating, glamorous and indulgent, sexually charged; compelling and, all too often, ludicrous and unintentionally comic but Brando gave us a Kowalski, a Corleone and the Paul of Last Tango in Paris.

	The New York Times: Best Pictures
		Bud's a fine and warm person, so are his sisters, but then all the Brandos are wonderful people; they truly like and esteem each other, mainly because their house was always a place where the dignity and aspirations and privacy of the individual, children and grown-ups alike, were respected.
		Brando himself says, at first, in the sing-song intonation of a schoolboy reciting by rote, the things experience has taught him he's expected to say.
		The scene is Brando's small rented house set close to the road in a fold of Beverly Hills that out here they call a canyon.

	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.

	Marlon Brando: Riding the Streetcar Named Desire
		Ermi with her dusky smoky patina and her breasts, hiding out in some instinctual corner of his mind, Marlon three or four years of age when she came to live with the Brando family in Omaha, Nebraska, as his 18-year-old governess, a hot-house blending of Danish Indonesian that surreptitiously stirred the little boy.
		There was no written script; the character portrayed by Brando brutal, a man who enjoyed acts of degradation, taunting, instilling fear, a man very much like his own father.
		Her descent into alcoholism was steep and merciless and her life hit the pits and disintegrated into drunken promiscuity, fragility and darkness.

		Brando se convirtió en su alumno más destacado, si bien por una vía mucho más espontánea y nada de racional.
		Ahora Brando parece un artista excéntrico, alejado en su obesidad y más bien indiferente.

	Marlon Brando Photos
		An influential, eccentric stage and screen actor, Marlon Brando first made his name as an exponent of 'The Method', an acting style based on the teachings of Constantin Stanislavsky that rejected the traditional techniques of stagecraft in favor of an emotional expressiveness ideally suited to the angst-ridden atmosphere of postwar American society.
		As the unappointed spokesman for his generation, the young Brando became identified with a character in revolt against something he could not comprehend, best personified in "The Wild Ones" (1954).
		By the 60s, he had succeeded in killing his rebel image appearing as a figure of authority in "The Ugly American" (1963) but much of his work in that decade failed to impress audiences or critics and by the late-60s, the Brando was relegated to the status of a has-been.
