I was "obsessed" with Marlon Brando too, years ago, in highschool and read everything I could get my hands on. In Breakfast with Brando, written by one of his wives--who was also treated badly--she mentions a very young Moreno screaming MARLON!! in a stairwell in his apartment building, stalking him, loud and crazy and out of control. This affair must have been very well known. Brando was a very failed and disturbed man, who respected no one, who couldn't love and pissed his talent away. He became a bloated impossible shell of a human. Lovers and children committed suicide. I remember when his daughter Cheyenne hung herself in the 90's. The whole thing seemed so pathetic and unnecessary I cried. People in Marlon Brando's life desperately wanted his attention and love, but he was just empty with nothing to offer. His brokenness was compounded by fame and money and unlimited sex. He toyed with everyone. And never gave a shit. The grabber for me: I have experienced this kind of relationship. If you haven't, consider yourself lucky. It is the depths of despair and mental illness. It moves me to hear an older woman talk about her experience. I don't find it cheap or disappointing. She assumes responsibility for her life and behavior. She's wasn't a victim per se'. They were both crazy. She got better. He continued to ruin lives. I admire her for talking about it.

Amanda Morton so typically judgmental. Knowing someone through books and tabloid and judging them because they failed to live up to your expectations.

[@robertoreyeslozada4916]

Marlon grew up from a disable family, her mother was an alcohilic and his father has tyranic.

[@linasantossantana1555]

Ana's book title is "Brando for breakfast" she said, too "I know he preferred Rita not me" at that moment he and Rita were lovers. About Cheyenne, she was schizophrenic, you know? Maybe he couldn't be a father or husband. His sister Jocelyn said it in an interview.

[@stuartfitzsimons2786]

I love Rita and ll this other stuff means nothing.

[@tonynegron1927]

👍 Rita! 🇺🇸 2021 🇵🇷 Will be 90 coming this Dec.11th ☆ Her documentary is out now & then waiting for the release of a new reboot of "WEST SIDE STORY. Stephen Spielberg directing. 🎤🎬📸🎹📺🌹

[@RaymondHng]

I found Lili Valenty in the episode "The Lovers" from _One Step Beyond_ on KZbin. So that's the woman who almost choked the living daylights out of Rita.

[@shirleyvelazquez1604]

Hi baby brother with my father❤️

[@MrDavfit]

[@The991312]

[@robertoreyeslozada4916]

C' Mon she looks fabulous at her age, without sergury.

[@mescnick]

who's that

[@laurarodriguezgarcia810]

She was one of many that he had she ain’t that special to him he preferred to Marry other woman and choose with what woman he wanted to keep his children with

[@linasantossantana1555]

Maybe you are right, he preferred to have children with others woman, for example a chicken brain with tits from the Polinesia and do you know the final, right? If you read some pages of the book that the mother of his polynesian children written, the conclusion is, she have mental problems, beautiful, right? And he youngers 3 children just the girl is ok the boys have mental problems. Rita is a so beautiful and smart woman without aged, mother of a beautiful and intelligent woman, grandmother of two extraordinary boys. Who will have a better final? What life lesson!

[@jlmd5993]

I read part of Rita's book, then got bored. Why in the world would she kill a baby of a man she loved? I don't care how sick she was, I'll never get that one. Vant Veer...what's that mean again, "Big Wind?" And she still wears his perfume? That's a little weird...and "hard to digest." She killed the baby and kept the perfume, hmmmm....I Think she's funny but her book was a bit self-absorbed, which I suppose a biography would/could be; she's reaaaaaaaaal proud of herself, though. Got that one quickly. The whole thing about Natalie Wood and West Side Story and Natalie keeping to herself...ppppfffffffft Rita!!!....Thems were the times! Right? Right, Rita?!!! Geez Louise! Forgive Natalie, please! And the make-up...hey we hadn't even reach the whole realm of the Civil Rights Movement, yet, much less figure out the full make-up pallet range of the Puerto Rican's. Good Lord Rita...this was '61! I enjoy hearing you talk, but your writing is...not so easy to swallow without wanting to "bring up" a bit...Gotta love your characters, though. Fun-knee! This "stubborn Puerto Rican" scares me a little as well. Maybe more therapy? Yes, you should buy the tape! Yes. (Ack!)
