He was kinda like yesterday's Johnny Depp, except 100X better.

I still think he and Michael Jackson would kick it together and decide how they can fuck with the media.

He declined the Oscar for Godfather. As far as I know he ever took it at all and he sent the young native girl to decline it for him because he was very appauled with the racism in Hollywood, particularly the portrayal of native Americans.


I'm not sure about the reasoning he had about his difficuty with Oz.

He was a strange man.  Lots of things contributed to it... for one, he was incredibly intelligent which is often a curse to people, they get all caught up in being right and smarter than everyone else and it makes them socially outcast.

Michael Jackson paid him 1 million dollars to show up at his New York concert in 2001... Brando sat on stage in a big chair and just rambled for 15 minutes about how their were millions of kids dying all over the world right now, then had the crowd be silent for 60 seconds while he snapped his fingers and said that was like 10,000 kids dying or something.

Jackson also paid him 5 million dollars to star in his film "Rock My World", I think that was the last movie he was in.

Watch the Jack Nichoalson Biography, he explains how difficult it was to work with Brando & how he hated the guy. Jack & Brando in the end though they ended up becoming very good friends.

Word.  I saw a picture of Brando's house - on the roof he had the words "PISS OFF!" in huge capital letters dyed into the shingles for all the papparazzi that were flying over trying to get pictures of him.
