[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.
Fox is now reporting he's dead.
ABC Radio just broke into programming to confirm.
What? I haven't heard this.
Now ... CNN has it.
Drudge now saying family confirms.
How wierd is it that the ADL doesn't try to argue that the motion picture industry doesn't purposely try to depict minorities in negative stereotypes, but instead tries to say Hollywood isn't run by Jews.
It's a teensie bit true: Rupert Murdoch is not Jewish. Murdoch may sound like a Jewish last name, but only a Limey would let himself be born to parents who would name him "Rupert."
Seriously, Hollwood is not run by Jews. It's run by atheists, many of whom happen to be of Jewish ancestry, but who are atheists precisely because they have abandonned their religion (tautological, no?).
But like all things, you can't have a rational discussion about who controls Hollywood because ex-Jews wrap themselves in their Jewishness to prevent criticism.
Looks like the Holiday weekend will consist of vast amounts of red wine, marinara sauce, and Godfather DVD's at my house.
I regret the demise of Marlon Brando's immense acting talent. I'm not sure I regret the demise of Marlon Brando.
Last Tango in Paris was another disgrace.
It's too bad ... Marlan Brando could have left behind a legacy to be proud of. He didn't. He was a typical confused soul doing well in liberal Hollywood.
How could they not be one in the same?
You left out a few words: Greatest piece of garbage movie. Ever.
FR has done it again
SCOOP
Isn't that photo of the younger Wellstone boy, and isn't that a shot of the Paul Wellstone hootenanny?
Is there a "Godfather's" pizza near by?
The horror... the horror...
Murdoch's mother was Jewish, and she reportedly brought him up in orthodox Judaism.
Geez, Pharmboy... next you're gonna tell me that the NBA isn't dominated by black people.
No. It's the promise.
Odd that you should ask....last week our Godfather's Pizza was exposed for horrendous health code violations on the local news. A friend of a friend who works there confirmed stories of pizzas being dropped on the floor and served anyway, etc.
