[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.

Assuming this is a error in reporting, it's pretty funny. I sent a tip to Drudge.

Great, now Drudge will announce that Kerry has chosen Brando as his running mate.

[Skooz]

I think the distinction is when someone says "the Jews" own this or that, as if it is one big monolothic conspiratorial blob assimilating all power unto itself.

To say "Jews" own this or that is not really the same as saying "the Jews" own this or that.

[Delphinium]

True, if one insists they won't serve God, then serve they won't.

But they always serve something else, and it usually causes bondage.

Movie Jews Starring in Their Own Life Movie

Neal Gabler explores the lives of the founding movie moguls of Hollywood in this work which is at turns funny and sad. Most of the moguls never had a very good family life either growing up or growing old, but the stories of the business and oddities of Hollywood are amusing.
One of the most interesting of Gablers points is that each head of the studio made a certain style of movie that reflected his personality--whether that would be Mayers idealized America or the Warners stories of tough outsiders, for instance.

Gabler gives interesting insights into the struggle between Edison and the Jewish independents over who would monopolize the distribution and equipment for the business. It is suggested that this was fight between protestants on one side, and Jews and Catholics on the other, given the ethnic make-up of the two camps. Edison eventually lost out over an anti-trust suit and the movie moguls went on to pretty much monopolize the business until they lost an anti-trust suit in 1948.

The reason why Jews have predominated in the movie business from the beginning was that in the early days of film, it was considered a slightly disreputable business to be in and white gentiles had no great desire to enter into a venture considered to be a novelty to make some fast cash. The Jewish businessmen saw the movies as something more than a novelty and sought to make them more high-brow by filming critically acclaimed plays and literary works. This was done also to bring in the middle class into their already working class customer base.

Gabler shows how many of the movie moguls wished to present themselves as totally assimilated Americans who made themselves over to look like the high class gentiles of the Eastern Establishment. But at the same time they saw themselves as Jews and their enemies saw them as Jews too. The years of blacklisting communists is covered in which some gentiles complained about the moguls employing communist Jewish writers for their films. (The moguls themselves were Republican and many of their writers were Jewish communists.)

Hollywood is shown to be place where there is no real friendship and materialism reigns. In their cutthroat business, those on top are celebrated as long as they stay successful and those who have fallen are forgotten. This rule even applies somewhat to the movie moguls of this era. Anyway, one gets the impression its more fun to watch the movies than to be in the business of making them.

The Catholics own the steel business

Genes? Environment?

Probably both as to why you're industrious and good at making money.

Being historically persecuted in almost all societies has made Jews hyper-industrious in order to prove their "value" to their adopted lands.

And being from the Middle East (a historic tradiing nexus) is the genetic kick that makes you good with lucre.

Now if only you had directors and actors who were nearly as talented as the owners of Hollywood are at making money.;)

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?

Uh, maybe when they quit getting older :-)

"I surely hope it wasn't suicide. He's been in pretty dire straits lately and just yesterday it was revealed he's $20 million in debt, living alone, and receiving government benefits. He had hidden his Oscars to keep them from being taken in a credit judgment."

20 million in debt? Proves how stupid these liberal actors are. They're like children running with scissors. Dumb and dumber. No wonder actors need so many handlers, accountants, managers, agents, PR hacks, psychophant courtiers.

[AppyPappy]

So if I become a Jew, I get in on this racket? What's the take?

[SunnySide]

"It was shocking to hear Marlon Brando, the acclaimed actor and champion of civil rights, invoke the anti-Semitic canard that "Hollywood is run by Jews, it is owned by Jews..." and blame Jews for exploiting stereotypes of minorities, "but we never saw the kike because they know perfectly well that's where you draw the wagons around."

Mr. Brando should know that what he said is utterly false, extremely offensive and plays into the hands of anti-Semites and bigots. His comments raise the centuries-old canard of Jewish control and conspiracy, and his use of an anti-Semitic epithet is hurtful to Jews everywhere"

Even though Brando was the worst kind of male chauvinistic pig he was right about jews owning, operating and pandering to hate and bigotry for money in Hollywood. A blind person could see that!

[Jape]

The Catholics controlled Hollywood during its Golden Age. The Hays Code was written by a Jesuit. And Hollywood's Enforcer, Joseph Breen, was a notorious anti-semite.

Famous saying: "Hollywood is a Jewish owned industry selling Catholic theology to a Protestant nation" The KKK used to think Hollywood was a 'Romanist,' not Jewish, cabal.

Well, in all fairness to him, I think paying for his son's defense in a murder trial took the biggest toll.

Both of you will be interested to know that Dan Glickman, former Clinton ag secretary, and a Jew who effectively shut down the U.S. pork promotion board (temporarily, until the Bush admin resurrected it) while in office, has been named head of the Hollywood lobby to replace Jack Valenti. His son is a Hollywood producer or director who was behind the movies Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2, among others.

If your respect is based upon one's belief in God, I question the value of what your respect is worth. There are many people who use a belief in God in the same way they would use a secret handshake. I prefer to give respect to those who are honest in their actions rather than their words.

Niedermeyer, dead!

And it seems like every couple of weeks or months somebody in my family or somebody I know is having a kid. And it seems like these young people now days have their own idea of who the talented ones are. And soon all the Brandos, Sinatras and Jimmy Stewarts will be dead to be replaced by the Madonnas, J-Los and Paintflecks. Not much of a forecast, eh?

[SunnySide]

"Well, in all fairness to him, I think paying for his son's defense in a murder trial took the biggest toll."

Basically "if" Marlon had ever been fair and decent to his wives and children they wouldn't have turned out the way they did. Marlon has gone the same route boot legging patriarch Joe Kennedy did with all his kids and their kids getting killed. You play with fire you get burned or cursed for life. Marlon's paying the piper. ;) and that's a fact.

[P-Marlowe]

I wonder where he is now, he wasn't a beleiver..

If he wasn't a believer and you know that for a fact, then if you wonder where he is right now, that would mean that you are not a believer.

Do you really wonder?

[Pharmboy]

LOL! I had a Quaker roommate who used to say: "Okay; I'll convert. When do I get the money?"

No--being a member of the tribe guarantees nothing. And, I certainly have known plenty of Jews in my time who were not the sharpest knives in the drawer. But, whatever the talents needed for success in certain areas, my brethren and sisters tend to do well. My hunch is that it is the uncanny ability to know what will be hot six months down the road.
