Marlon Brando Is Courtney Love's Grandfather?
IMDB.com ^ | 8-13-03

Posted on 08/13/2003 10:40:27 AM PDT by Paul Atreides

Veteran actor Marlon Brando has been revealed as the unexpected grandfather of wild rocker Courtney Love in a new book. The singer's mother, psychologist Linda Carroll, claims she has taken DNA tests to confirm she is the Godfather star's daughter. Love, former wife of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, says, "I am incredibly shocked by this news. I have heard Mr. Brando has more than 30 children so I can't imagine how many cousins I have." The link is Linda's mother, novelist Paula Fox. She met Brando in the 1940's through famed drama teacher Stella Adler, and the two enjoyed a brief liaison. However, it is not known whether 79-year-old recluse Brando knows that Linda - who was given up for adoption - was the result of this. Brando has 11 acknowledged children, although is thought to have many more. Carroll's book in which she makes the revelation, is as yet unreleased.

If true, I don't know for whom to pity more.

Is "Gaggle" the proper term for such a humanoid herd?

Looks like Marlon was "SOMEBODY" and "WAS MORE THAN A CONTENDER" with 30 children it sounds like he was the CHAMPION.

30 kids is nothing. I think that Screaming Jay Hawkins and B.B. King each had over 60 kids.

Interesting that Courtney has been out of the news and spotlight recently - and she craves attention.

I have read that Courtney's mother is a little looney as well. Her father seems ok. He thinks Courtney is out of her mind and I have also seen him hint that he belives she had Kurt killed(which I believe).

Mine was more of a reference to "A Streetcar Named Desire" when Brando screams his wife's name (Stella) after they have a fight.
