How Marlon Brando Played with James Dean for His Own Amusement?

[@wademanix8801]

In the summer of 1955 I was in a gay bar in New York and Marlon Brandon came in, stood near the doorway, looked around for several minutes and left. Back then we had no way of knowing if someone was gay, but this gave us as much proof as we needed.

[@ua6523]

This comment wins!

[@jacktorrance6404]

Anyone who hasn't done so, read Brando's autobiography, "Brando: Songs my mother taught me". He talked about Dean in one of his chapters. I recall him saying that he was at a party in Hollywood, and he saw Dean walk in and take off his jacket throw it like Brando had done in some movie he did. Brando knew that Dean was a big fan of his and felt that Dean was going about it the wrong way with that. He pulled Dean aside and told him that he shouldn't try and copy him so much if he wanted to long term survive in Hollywood. He felt that Dean should just try and be his own original self instead trying to copy him. He was sad when he heard the news of Dean's death and went on to mention that he felt that Dean would have been one of the biggest and actors of Hollywood, even more so than him.

Marilyn and James met each other once according to Shelley Winters. She wrote about it in her first memoir. She said James circled her and Marilyn on the road with his motorcycle as a practical joke, and then they all hung out together at Nicolas Ray’s bungalow at the Chateau Marmont. According to Shelley, James and Marilyn didn’t care for each other. However after his death, Marilyn put up a photo of James on the set of of Bus Stop as a tribute to him. KZbin is not letting me link to the photo for some reason but it’s available on the missingmarilyn Tumblr blog.

Everyone says that, but the boy was very unstable and self-destructive. Harsh as it sounds, his self-imposed, premature death was very most likely the best thing that could have happened to his Thespian immortality. He died at the "peak of his promise", preserved at a youthful twenty-four. Had he lived, he would have messed up through his own deterioration and wound up a diseased has-been that the world would have felt sorry for- like Brando. Either that or he would have run away back to the Indiana he hated, to raise pigs.

I'd take some assertions here with a grain of salt. Brando was certainly involved with men, for sure.

His distance from his children resulted in such pain for the kids. Brando was such a talented actor but not a nice man; so many books on him still kept him at a distance for me until the one that really got behind the facade. Cloris Leachman's husband worked for Brando for years. his book reveals a lot. I recommend it: George England, The Way It's Never Been Done Before.

You can "imagine" - that's the operative word here, because this is complete and total fantasy, salacious details made up for who knows why.

Yet these rumors persist. It is just so weird that people will believe anything that someone puts out on the internet.

Watch how Marlon (Johnny) runs down the street with the crowd chasing after him or his biker outfit in leather/studs or his refusal to kiss his female admirer at the end of the movie. It was easy to see what Brando's predilection was. Obviously straight people had no idea what the film was about but this was somewhat common back in the day. It was not unusual for Hollywood to produce a movie that was perceived as heterosexual but had gay undertones subtle enough that the mainstream audience never caught on.

However, this is just a made up rumor. Nothing was ever confirmed. Brando wanted nothing to do with Dean as he was threatened by his acting ability. He would make disparaging remarks about James. James tried to reach out to Brando because he admired him as an actor, but Brando turned him down all the time. We know this factually happened. This video however, is based on rumor that were unlikely to be true based on Brando repeatedly turning down having anything to do with James. What we do know is Brando fucked anything. Doesn’t mean he and James ever got together. Especially, since Brando couldn’t stand James Dean.

[@lliamjurdom9505]

ALL these people pedalling theories that Marlon used Dean like a rag doll and was more into himself are missing the point, thats what Dean wanted, it would have been more authentic to persist in that mode to perpetuate the desire ... etc etc ... ive been in these relationships before and it never pays to break character ... break character shatters illusion ...

[@Maysoon3121]

Marlon and James never had a sex sadomasochistic relationship not even a close friendship. Marlon didn’t consider himself gay but he was experimenting he had a raw sexuality. He said James was obsessed with him not in a sex way but he was looking at Marlon like a big brother he loved how Marlon was acting until one day Marlon had to bring back James in reality bc he thought Marlon was acting like his Johnny character in the wild . Mar told him to be himself so James listened to him. Marlon was misunderstood and all those lies brought by Hollywood and haters are still believe by those who fantasize on it when in reality it didn’t happened. Before spreading things on dead do ur research and a real one.

Thanks the effort, I always like learning more about people I admire, in a way to honor their memory, especially Dean, because he tragically died young Brando squandered his talent), but this presented no such opportunity. Rumors is the right word, and it begs the question, “Why propagate them and reward authors and You Tubers who feed off the souls who don’t have real lives and wallow in misinformation?” The short answer, of course, is money. One observation too: For the American audience, the clever use of the English accent gives all this pure gossip the air of legitimacy, notwithstanding the disclaimer at the end. We live more and more in a vicarious age, living thru others because as the world gets bigger we get smaller, we feel less power and significance. Our dot is shrinking, leaving an ever widening void. Social media fills this void, often with gossip, and certainly with misinformation, which is the death of truth, witness our politics. But then for most who follow this site, this won’t register. They’ll read this burping coke listening to Sting, “Be yourself, no matter what they say”. Oops forgot, you’re wondering who Sting is!

[@cintulator2]

Any real proof for that? James Dean was bisexual. True. But everything else is a just suggestion.

I would love to support your work I think vintage knowledge of superstars past and present is very exciting to me and another words make it happen thank you for the information that you provided for me under Stars 🤩🤩🤩,

[@Tessa-vz1qb]

It looks like Marlon Brando very much enjoyed playing with his lovers minds and was a master at manipulation and he often chose younger lovers with less experience than he whom would be easily impressed. Rita Moreno learned this the hard way when she almost succeeded a suicide attempt because had forced her to have an abortion after she had told him she was pregnant with their child, and she would have succeeded if not for his assistant finding her in time and bringing her the nearest by hospital to have her stomach pumped of the pills she took. Only then did she start to let go of this obsession they had for each other and, chose life over him. And she was one of the lucky ones. She many times described him as her cocaine and compared herself to a drug addict as she would always go back to him despite the infidelities and mistreatment and he takes 3 whole chapters of her memoirs. Unfortunately some other lovers of his didn't know how to undo themselves of this obsession for him and had to pay for that full price. They all deserved better The 2 words toxic relationships were embodied in that man.

It has nothing to do with the video, but it is rumored that Brando also slept with Richard Pryor.

Foe one thing, the rumors about James Dean and Marlon Brando can't be confirmed because those who witnessed their relationship have long since passed away,

[@ryangoyette3570]

But do you not think, that if there are numerous accounts, from many different sources, there can’t be some semblance of truth to it?

[@lindseycarribean5113]

I wonder if he ever fell in love seriously. He didn't care about his own children so... I think he’s overrated. Charismatic but overrated.

Being a great actor doesn't, as we've seen many times, make you a great person.

[@lyndonjames8607]

This needed some serious editing. It’s incredibly repetitive. Lodging a quasi-disclaimer near the end about Price & Porter as dubious sources was a particularly unimpressive move.

[@Gen_X_Rosey]

Yeah, I've read one book by Danforth Prince and Darwin Porter. I have another I have yet to read. I even did a couple videos on some of those claims. Even if the stories aren't true, they still make for some pretty interesting stories!

[@lilyblossom1240]

Brando was a sociopath. I believe his daughter/kids. After learning about Brando he was just a terrible human being.

It must be very difficult to be the one actor in the world that every other actor in the world idolizes, and every woman (and gay or bisexual) person wants to go to bed with. I can't imagine what that would do to your ego. Everything I've seen of interviews with Brando tell me he fought that by being reclusive and withholding. He was relatively shy to begin with, and probably hated the vast notoriety that frequently robbed him of his privacy. Most great artists are probably bi-sexual. Not all of them play that out, but they know it about themselves. When you are an artist, there are no "lines" drawn between yourself and everyone and everything else. Your "way" is to encompass it all. You see the "bigger picture" and realize that sex/gender is not a straight line. As much as I adored him in all of his films, "Sayonara" is still my favorite. He's so tragically in love, it melts your heart.
