Brando grew up in the Midwest. Omaha, Nebraska I think. His mother was a small town acting teacher.

She seduced a young actor/student of hers when he was 12 and kept him as a lover for years. Although she denied it, he might have been Brando's father. He was sort of a "big brother" to Brando as Brando was growing up.

His name was Henry Fonda!

"It seems that every other week or so, somebody famous or well-known dies. What the heck is going on? When will this madness stop?"

We're getting older. The generations before us thought the same thing as they aged. When will it stop? When we take our place among the dead...

As a member of the National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes, I'll be wearing a black armband today. :-(

From which era? A Streetcar Named Desire or The Island of Dr. Moreau?

Someone should do a screen capture of that CBS affiliate's webpage announcing this and save it for posterity. I have a feeling the story will soon be pulled.

"You mean his foray into depictions of pedophilia, anal sex, and other such porn (ala Pink Flamingos)"

I knew he was good, but I didn't realize he was Divine...

Maybe it's all a big mistake and he really "passed out" at his home on Thursday, as opposed to "passed away"

Thanks. If I was at home I would have done it myself, but can't with the computer I'm on at the moment.
