Marlon Brando was truly one of cinema's greatest actors. So today, what would have been his 86th birthday, I've decided to pay tribute to the man who gave us so many memborable moments, both in film and in life.
At the 1973 Academy Awards, Brando refused his Best Actor Oscar for The Godfather, instead sending a Native American woman to the show to give a speech on Natives rights. I can't imagine anyone doing this today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QUacU0I4yU
This scene from On the Waterfront is one of the most famous scenes ever filmed. It's iconic status is well deserved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeVq1e6JKlw
Brando created another iconic performance in A Streetcar Named Desire. This video shows his famous cry of "Stella!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1A0p0F_iH8
One of the most haunting performances in film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BqloFdNq2Y
Larry King had a famous interview with Brando in the 1990's, mainly due to its bizarre nature. Here's the final part of the interview in which Larry and Marlon close the show by singing a duet and share a kiss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvWMB7YFMXw He led a strange life.
Brando sings again - this time in Guys and Dolls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVlQXvrWC_A
Finally, a rare screentest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2lRdkNGDcY
