Fox just announced he died from pneumonia.
Whoa...

Seems like there is a lot of that going around. Heath Ledger had pneumonia.
Only thing I’ve found so far: (From PageSix)

Christian Brando, the eldest son of the late legendary actor Marlon Brando, died this morning at 1:47 a.m. at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, Calif. On Monday, Christian’s attorney Benjamin Brin announced that the actor was hospitalized with pneumonia. “The prognosis is for a complete recovery,” Brin said, “He’s going to be OK.” Christian was 49 years old.
Christian Brando was born May 11, 1958 as the result of an affair between his father and actress Anna Kashfi. Christian pled guilty to manslaughter in 1990 for killing his sister’s boyfriend Dag Drollet.
In 2001, actor Robert Blake claimed that Christian was involved in the murder of his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley. Bonnie had been dating Robert Blake and Christian when she became pregnant and initially claimed Christian to be the father until a DNA test later proved the father to be Robert. Robert was charged with her murder and acquitted, then was later found liable in a civil case.
Christian dabbled in acting, and had small roles in Yentl and I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! but never acheived the level of fame as his Academy Award winning actor father.
I was just thinking that...
“....never acheived the level of fame as his Academy Award winning actor father.”
Well, now, no kidding?
who is cristian brando
Marlon Brando’s oldest son, Christian Brando, died early this morning at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, David Seeley, a lawyer for Marlon Brando’s estate confirmed to the AP. He was 49,
Seeley said the family had no funeral plans yet, adding, “This is a sad and difficult time for the family.”
Brando had been in the ICU since January 11 for pneumonia.
Christian had a minor roles in a few movies, but his real life was far more compelling; he went to prison for voluntary manslaughter in the death of his half-sister’s boyfriend, Dag Drollet. He also was accused by Robert Blake’s defense attorneys of having a role in Bonnie Lee Bakley’s murder. Bonnie had originally named Brando as the father of her child with Blake.
Sources tell us that Brando had most recently been working in construction under a pseudonym.
Seeley said Brando was unmarried at the time of his death and had no children.
oh well
He was on everybody dead pool
BTW that same Brando that Baretta wife acccused of sire her child turn out be Baretta kid
Not like he was Christian Slater, or something.

Good God, didn't the old man leave him any money? Sad.

He killed a guy armed with a remote control and Bob Shapiro got him, I think manslaughter.
