Shades of Idi Amin?

But hopefully not similar dietary habits.

From Drudge - KNBC has just learned that LA city fire department was called 2 times last night to respond to Brando's residence at 12900 Mulholland Drive - 1st time at 9:48pm and the 2nd at 11:03. Both calls were cancelled, thus the fire dept. considers it as a 'no call'....

Why on earth would you run a story with no confirmation and speculate that it's the worst case scenario???

LOL! I didn't expect to start Friday with the "Marlon Brando deathwatch" thread.

They would rather be first than right.

I wonder if Nancy McKeon is still dead.

"We're number one" syndrome? It's not because they care a hoot about Brando, we know that.

Wow, that was really tasteless.

What was tastless? That I posted a photo from the tasteless Wellstone funeral?

I was making what I thought was a not too subtle commentary on how the left will use the deaths of people for their own purposes. If the Democrats and John Kerry thought they could roll Brando's corpse out for their own benefit they would. Contrast that with the funeral of Ronald Reagan.

Oh, another thing. Isn't it interesting how so many people get all exercised and agitated over the deaths of "famous" people? Someone, who in this case, never really did anything for more than a few people. I'm sorry Brando is dead. But get real, he was a play actor.

There is only one way to know for sure. Somebody check the schedule for the Biography Channel. They will have his bio ready to roll tonight if it is true. It is impressive how quickly they can adjust.

Maybe TCM will run Streetcar, Godfather, and others as a tribute.

IMHO, a truly great man is great right up to his death. Marlon died a nobody and has been a nobody for the last several years. The last movie he was mediocre in was Don Juan DeMarco with Johnny Depp.
