He was great as Stanly Kowalski In a Streetcar Named Desire...tremendous as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront
and then Don Vito Corleone...The Godfather!...Outstanding!
Cheers Mr. Brando!

I read an interview with Brando in Playboy in the mid-70's that was probably one of the most erudite and unusual interviews I have ever read. Brilliant man, strange life.
His scene with Vivien Leigh in "Streetcar" where he is kind of chumming up to her with equal parts menace, lothario, and leering misogyny are creepy to the max. Uncomfortable, great acting.
"STELLA!!!!"
Loved his movies.
As Stanley Kolwalski in "SCND:"
"I never met a dame yet that didn't know if she was good-looking or not without being told. And there are some of them that give themselves credit for more than they've got."
A great actor passes.
BTW- Does anybody know where to get that picture of him sucking a dick? It looks like a cigar until you really look at it- bit it was great! I used to have it on my home office desk.
I am not trying to diss the man after his death- I just loved the photo and would love to see it again.
Knowing this crowd, if it was a fake - at least I will get the story!
I saw that picture printed in Penthouse about 10 years ago.
Why did you open this? It says (eom) up there.
Farewell Brando
