Homosexual. More hollywood deviance. Why's everyone a suck . Why can't they tell the truth ? Perpetuating lies to the public is seriously sick.

Whole time he was blowing james Baldwin back out.

Megalomania with good looks corrupts, no? Idiocy.

Yes, next question

What is Will Smith doing there? He's not fit to be in such illustrious company. His agent must have pulled some strings for real.

Marlon was the Ultimate Chad

14:12 noooooo 😂😂😂

I think he pinpointed exactly what is wrong with America.

IM GOING INSANEEEEE OVER THIS HOW CAM BE A MAN A FUCKING MAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL IM CRYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Well said . Gielgud was such an intelligent and sophisticated actor but he was also a compassionate, sympathetic man

The great Terrence Stamp!

Infuriating that he doesn’t and didn’t get so many deserving roles. I mean he should have been in Tarantino movies. Scorsese. All of them

Barbra Streisand - an extremely irrelevant artist, for all time

Brando was lazy as $## in Superman: the Movie, he didn't learn his lines and treated the other cast members like crap in the limited times they did interact. Christopher Reeve was asked, "did you learn anything from working with the great actor Brando?," and he said, "yeah, what not to do."

Over hyped

Quality of education reflects the quality of speech. Then and now.

Well, one thing is for sure. He was a rapist ! Maria from last tango . knew all roo well ! He's not even worthy to be called a 🐷 !

Guy Pearce really needs to work on his Brando impression, lol. Makes him sound like a gay receptionist.

What a beautiful accent!

The man is an awful BORE!

GOAT

Loved him in 'The English B.I.G.O.T'

Brando threw away his career, as did Burton.

That’s *a u r a* .

BRANDO gorgeous : what more can I say

Marlon resented his gifts and set out to destroy them. He succeeded.

"The Collector," is a great movie.

Did Marlon ditch Rod Steiger for his close-up to really stir up Rob's emotions for it?

I used to watch Dick Cavett's show a lot back then and even though I don't think he always did his "homework" with every guest on his show, he was a truly intelligent and articulate host who didn't try to take over or upstage his guests.......unlike today's hot-dogging hosts!

I could listen to Sir John Gielgud read my refrigerator instruction manual and be captivated.

He didn't like woman😮 he was into men

incredibly eloquent and gracious. Great interview. And many of today's interviewers should look a Cavett. He had great skills.

Here is just some about him from a few of his biographies (Part-2): Worked briefly as an escort when he was still a struggling actor (no confirmation, but strong insinuation from an actress who he escorted for that sex for pay was involved). Christian and Roger took him to Le Canard Bleu in Paris, where Marlon had sex with a duck: “To his house, he brought only the fattest or pleasantly plump of female ducks. Once there, he would tie up the ducks for his clients to penetrate. Just before a man reached his climax, Guichet would slice off the head of the duck so that the client could enjoy the poor bird’s death spasms” He hooked up with Wally Cox, who also admitted that he and Marlon would have sex with anything with a pulse. There's a famous picture on the internet of Marlon giving Wally a blowjob (which was apparently taken at a party as a "joke"). Could be very cruel to his lovers, and would hurt their feelings on purpose. Flaunted other lovers in front of them and purposely flirted with others when he knew they were watching (did this with James Dean and Wally), went off with other women while on dates. Never committed to anyone, which led to heartbreak of several of his affair partners. Was a pedophile and admitted to committing statutory rape several times. According to actress Geraldine Page (who he had a brief relationship with), he spoke to her about hooking up with 14 and 15 year old girls when he was in his 20s, and once bragged about taking the virginity of a 12-year old. “He claimed he was the champion hymen-buster of young girls in New York City.” He simply shrugged when she told him what he was doing was wrong. Christian Marquand (who Brando had a casual affair with for decades) also said Brando was very attracted to girls who were “far too young”. One of his earlier girlfriends talked about how he violently took her virginity. Brando viewed “innocent” women as conquests and seduced and took their virginity, and then discarded them. According to Christian Marquand, Brando raped Italian actress Pier Angeli (she was a virgin and sheltered, and Brando viewed her as a conquest as she was very naive and fiercely guarded by her extremely strict and protective mother). He is possibly the grandfather of Courtney Love (according to Courtney). His last (known) child was born in 1994, when Marlon was 70. At least his activism was not performative and he genuinely cared about civil rights for all and Native American rights. He fought for equal pay for POC extras and was apparently truly heartbroken about MLK jr's death and donated large portions of his money to these causes even when he was low on funds. He also convinced a lot of celebrities to donate their money as well. He took care of a lot of his friends, apparently was very generous with money and got them jobs as well. He participated in several fundraising events for the UN. Marlon seemed to feel deeply disgusted with Hollywood and felt like the only thing that really mattered in the world was fighting injustice. He was truly passionate about his activism and viewed his money and fame from acting as tools to help champion his causes. According to his daughter, he was also very serious about environmental preservation well before it became "cool" to care about the environment, and he banned single-use plastics on his Tahitian island. He was apparently extremely intelligent, witty, incredibly funny, and well-read on many topics (surprising to me as I just assumed he was a himbo). He even had a couple of patents. He was also reported to be incredibly charming (several people described him as the most charming and suave guy they'd ever met). Offered his assistant $1 million to sleep with him after she refused his advances (she had the good sense to reject it). He would even stalk her for a while. He "warned" her when she started working for him that he was a sex addict. He described himself as a "beast" and said he had women constantly walking in his door and climbing out the window, one after the other. His assistant corroborated this and said that the next woman would come in before the first even left. He said in his book that he always maintained affairs with multiple women at a time so that even if one of them abandoned him, he wouldn't be alone like he was when his mother abandoned him, and would have someone else to fall back on. He also said "With women, I've got a long bamboo pole with a leather loop on the end. I slip the loop around their necks so they can't get away or come too close." Only really respected women until they slept with him. Apparently he was good friends with several women and was very kind and generous with them, but lost respect for anyone he was able to seduce. He would intentionally go after married woman and once secretly invited a woman's husband to watch her cheat on him (without her knowledge). He thought it was hilarious to break up others' marriages. Shared by multiple sources. He loved to go after women in relationships Had severe disdain for Hollywood and celebrity in general but loved money. He said he would be a conman if he couldn't have made it as an actor. Sexually assaulted his 19-year old co-star in Last Tango in Paris with a stick of butter. Bought an atoll in Tahiti called Teti'aroa (said to be the only place where Brando ever really truly felt any happiness). There is now a luxury resort there called The Brando. His grandson, Tuki Brando (son of Cheyenne, who committed suicide at age 25), is now a model. Brando struggled with Bulimia his entire life (in his self-narrated documentary., Marlon states that he turned to food for comfort as a young child whenever he felt alone and abandoned by his mother). An actor friend of his shared that Marlon letting himself go later in life was partly Brando reclaiming his body from the public (as he was constantly gawked at and fawned over for his looks). His assistant shared an incident where she found Marlon bleeding out of his mouth on the floor of his home after purging and had to take him to the hospital. She was also the one who found Rita after she attempted to commit suicide in Marlon's home Shared by user JimFixxit: When meeting with Brando to discuss playing the part Armin Mueller-Stahl eventually got in the movie Music Box, director Costa-Gavras was asked if he could shit into a mason jar for Brando's "collection." Apparently he and Wally Cox both lived in the same building as Paul Lynde (who was a tubby kid) who used to steal their food because he was broke. One day he found a note in the fridge saying "Paul, take anything you want but just understand that one item is poisoned." There's a lot more, but these were some of the highlights.

Here is just some about him from a few of his biographies (Part-1): Major narcissist, very difficult, stubborn, an asshole to work with even before he got Streetcar or any real fame. He was very kind to some of his co-stars and a major asshole to others. Looks like he suffered from severe abandonment issues, eating disorders, depression, anger issues, and quite possibly a personality disorder as a result of his awfully abusive parents. He apparently "pity fucked" Anna Magnani after she essentially sexually assaulted him. She was said to be deeply insecure about aging and felt like she wasn't attractive anymore and tried to seduce Marlon to feel better about herself. He was sexually assaulted by a couple of other older actresses he worked with. Fetishized and was particularly attracted to dark-skinned/"ethnic" women. He ties this back to the part-Indonesian nanny he had when he was a very young child (who molested him). He also links his abandonment issues and commitment issues to his nanny abandoning him as a child (along with his alcoholic and absentee mother, who also "invited him to her bed" many times when she was drunk). His mother was a massive alcoholic and would end up in strange bars constantly. As a child, Marlon (along with his sisters) would frequently have to look through the bars in town (or get phone calls from the bartenders) to bring their drunk and passed out mother home. His father also frequently beat his mother and never showed affection towards any of his children either. Marlon would talk about how his mother's absenteeism and repeated abandonment and alcohol abuse broke his heart well into his 20s. He carried those scars for the rest of his life and was deeply hurt, lonely, and sad because of it. He blamed his father for her alcoholism and depression (due to his cheating, anger issues, and abuse). Spent a few months in his 20s as a sugar baby of Doris Duke. Hooked up with many, many, men and women. Several hundred at least. So much so that I honestly don't get how he had the time to do anything else (or how he didn't catch HIV as he bragged about rarely using protection). He participated in "abortion parties" in NYC where people passed around dead fetuses in mason jars for guests to see. He bragged about getting dozens of women pregnant in his early twenties (rarely used protection) and probably has many more children than what is officially known. He saw and treated women as objects. Often spoke of the women he hooked up with in a degrading way. He had sex with practically everyone he worked with and encountered. Had women lining up out the door backstage during Streetcar (on Broadway) every night. An actress said that there would be 20-30 women ("not exaggerating") at each party vying for his attention and he would make sure that he eventually made his way through every one of them. So many accounts of men and women (actors/actresses, playwrights, directors, etc.) who fell absolutely in love with him and became heartbroken when he discarded them and moved on to the next hook-up. Remember what happened to Rita Moreno? She was only one of many who became obsessed with him but could never get him to commit. A lot of these men were much older as well (and it was clear that he hooked up with some of them for job opportunities). Led to several suicide attempts and depression (a la Rita). Very heavily participated in the casting couch and hooked up with male playwrights, directors, writers, etc for roles. Also hooked up with a lot of male celebs (including Tennessee Williams, Clifford Odets, Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Christian Marquand, etc.). Bette Davis reported that Marlon confessed to her that his mother molested him as a young child. “Many times she invited me into her bed,” he is quoted as saying, “and I knew it wasn’t right, but I didn’t know how to stop it. Actually one part of me didn’t want her to stop. I guess I was in love with her. She was always drunk-never sober-when she invited me to her bed.” His sister also said that she suspected his mother harbored incestuous feelings for her son. He was also molested by his nanny at the same young age (around 4-7 years old). Had a threesome with Truman Capote and Cecil Beaton Some of the men/women Marlon hooked up with: Nancy Reagan (when she was Nancy Davis), Faye Emerson, Ava Gardner, Hedy Lamar, Ingrid Bergman, Vivian Leigh, Roger Vadim, James Dean, Grace Kelly, Princess Margaret, Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, Ursula Andress, Ingrid Bergman, Joan Crawford, etc. (this list is from what he claimed in his autobiography + what other authors claimed in their biographies of him). He was engaged in a BDSM relationship with James Dean for a while and Dean begged him to put out lit cigarettes on his chest. James was obsessed and infatuated with Brando. Brando would intentionally bring back other men and have sex with them in the next room when James Dean was present just to hurt his feelings. Brando did the same thing to Wally Cox as well. Participated in multiple orgies with Carlo Fiore as well. Marlon was bisexual (duh) and claimed that he was “seventy-five percent heterosexual, only twenty-five percent homosexual.” He had only two pics in his bedroom when he died: his mother's and Wally Cox's. He had a picture of him kissing Rita Moreno from a movie they did together in his study (apparently the only piece of movie memorabilia he ever kept at home). He was convinced that Marilyn did not kill herself. He spoke to her a couple days before she died and believed she had possibly been murdered. Multiple comments from several people who knew Brando about him having an Oedipal complex in regards to his mother. Even in his own autobiography, Brando mentions that as an adult, whenever a woman around him had breath that smelled like his mother’s, it aroused him. Marlon’s sister, Fran, claimed that “with the aid of Mittelmann [his therapist], Bud confronted some awful truths. One, that he was in love with Dodie [his mom]. Another, their relationship was incestuous.” His former friend Carlo Fiore said that a month after his mother’s death a very drunk and depressed Marlon confessed his incestuous feelings towards his mother. “[Marlon] said to me, ‘Dodie should have divorced Dad and married me. I should have been the only man in her life. Marlon Jr., not Marlon Sr., was the man for Dodie. I could have made her happy.’” Marlon blamed her for his “fucked-up” life and said she was the reason why he had never been able to commit to a woman. Marlon also deeply despised his dad for his abuse towards him and his mother. In his autobiography, Marlon speaks of his mother with a lot of love and sadness (and most of his resentment of her, apparently was because of her alcoholism and the abandonment, and he never thought of her as abusive), but did not hate her like he hated his father. He blamed his dad for her alcoholism too. He loved and adored his mother and constantly sought her approval. Third wife Tarita wrote in her memoir that “When Tarita became pregnant, Marlon urged her to abort the child, but she refused. A son, Teihotu, was born on May 30, 1963, and Marlon denied fatherhood. Enraged, he flew to the atoll where he severely beat Tarita with his fists and a belt. Heading back to Los Angeles, he abandoned her in “a pool of blood,”” “Marlon used his portrayal of Stanley as an excuse to pick up a lot of blue-collar New Jersey truck drivers and give them blow-jobs.” as a way to get into character and embody Stanley's gritty mindset. Had an affair with Stella Adler (with her husband’s knowledge) and dated her daughter at the same time.

zane is more brando than brando

You know what I think he was more than fed up with everyone having him so deified. What he really wanted was for people to treat him normal.

6:12 That crosstalk is brutal, for my mind.

That's Marlon's way of saying: "Lear and Macbeth are important enough to learn; this is just a job."

Love this actor

Freezing January 2025 in New York and I’ve been watching clips of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, Johnny has worked with both. Watching these clips you can see similarities of spirit, intensity, intelligence. Johnny and Marlon had troubled parenting, no entitlement or vacuousness like one sees everywhere today. God bless the child who has his own.

I like him a lot.

I’ve heard that before about Brando not being able to memorize lines in movies.

Robin Williams was a genius

Marlin would’ve probably made more on OF than his acting career if he were 20 today.

Sir John no doubt is brilliant..BUT..the 2 him and Brando..are completely different..both great..both honest..and the stage and screen craft are although they look " samey" the 2 disciplines are polar opposites. X ❤

I don't see how she didn't laugh, when he says get outta here im dying 😂

❤👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🫶❤❤xx
