(((sigh!))) Finer specimens have rarely been seen... too bad this Marlon left us a looong time ago.
I pray you rest in peace, Mr. Brando.

[Note: While it took a while to find confirmation, Fox News says Brando's lawyer has confirmed. LM]
(CBS 5 News)--The man called the greatest actor of all time has died.
CBS 5 News has learned Marlon Brando passed away Thursday in Los Angeles.
Brando may be best known for his roles in "The Godfather" and "On the Waterfront". He won oscars for his work in those 2 films.
The cause of death is still unknown.
The article I read said Jack Nicholson would have him over to dinner frequently or drop food by in Brando's more recent years.
Marlon Brando has been dead for ten years. They just never got around to burying him.
Wrong this is not the attitude GOD commands from the left or right...He was a human being that has passed GOD Bless his soul and his family who will mourn him...
What about the guy who made those voices and noises in the Police Academy movies? He's the greatest of all time!!
Jack Klugman is also still alive. God to Marlon: "It's nothing personal. It's strictly business."
Brando didn't send Little Feather to "pick up his Oscar." He sent her to tell the Academy that he was refusing to accept the Oscar completely.
It's my understanding he never took possession of his Oscar.
And his "one-bedroom shack on a hill in L.A." is a multi-million dollar, 15-room estate on top of Mulholland Drive next door to Jack Nicholson.
Brando was a great actor but a peculiar man.
Some of the news agencies interupted Bush's speech about how our future lies in small business, most of which go belly up in three years, and how the millions of misplaced textile workers in Carolina and else where, are being trained for hundreds of jobs in the medical field. Everything is good.
RIP Mr. Brando
Whoops!
Sad bump.
Isn't that true of Most Movie or Singing Stars? I think the probelm is they start off as regular ol' folks and because they have a talent in the Entertainment Industry they become "Idols" to people all over the world? Well they are not DIVINE nor are they Jesus like or Angelic so as fragile human beings they fall on there face by becoming wierd peculiar and just "Strange"
The point is GOD is the only one worthy of Praise and he taught agaisnt Idol Worship. Moviestars are false idols and they know it...
Nooo. she's still alive on the Lifetime Channel.
THE HORROR, THE HORROR
My friend John does his hair....he has been going up to the Brando estate for years. He is wondering today if it will be an open casket....if so, he may be doing his hair one more time.
Well One Catholic Mel Gibson has turned Hollywood upside down.So maybe the Catholics truly are the future of Hollywood...
News wires have been stating the Brando dead at 80. Just reading the other day that he was on the verge of bankruptcy and was hiding his Oscar statutes so the IRS could not find them and auction them off. Guess he doesn't have to worry about that now....
Words of wisdom:
"My father always said - keep your friends close, and your enemys closer."

"Never let anyone outside of the family know what you're thinking."
Enemies, even.
Nelson Rockefeller owned RKO.
Howard Hughes. Joseph Kennedy. Darryl Zanuck.
Lots more up through the present.
LOL. A contender, even.
