[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.
strangely, absolutely no one else seems to have this. it would be a pretty big story, but it's not being reported. i suspect a false alarm.
It would seem to me,
he REALLY did NOT like
all the publicity about being improverished.
To deny that Jews invented and run Hollywood is to say that the Pope's not Catholic (and I'm a Jew).
Have a great Fourth, AP.
I cannot find this anywhere. Anyone have any links to this?
Jor-el is no more ... only a broken vessel.
New York, July 1
A new biography on veteran actor Marlon Brando has revealed that the "Godfather" actor has fallen upon such tough times, that he has to live in a one-room house, owes banks 20 million dollars and survives on his Screen Actor's Guild pension.
According to The New York Daily News, the biography titled "Brando in Twilight" has been written by Patricia Ruiz and reveals that the reclusive star came under financial constraint due to huge amounts he spent while defending his son Christian, who was accused of manslaughter in 1990.
According to the biography, Brando keeps the Oscar, which he won for "On the Waterfront" hidden because he thinks it will be seized as payment for his debts.
The 80-year old actor, who first won critical acclaim for his role in the 1951 classic "A Streetcar Named Desire" also spent his fortune on the support payments for three children he had with former maid Cristina Ruiz.

Marlon Brando was 80 years old.
It's because everybody's famous now.
Next, Squeaky Fromme will die and everyone will ask who the third person will be.
when everyone is dead.
If Hillary gets the VP nod, Kerry.
yeah. and while it's possibly true, it is also extraordinary that a phoenix cbs affil gets this story and absolutely no one else is going with it so far. of the possible explanations, error is near the top.
Who cares about his goofy views on everything, the man could really act. THE GODFATHER is still the greatest movie of all time.
Marlon Brando's role in the Godfather was probably one of the
best Acting Roles ever.
Mourners gather outside Marlon Brando's small home following his death.
This story sounds fishy. How come no one else is reporting it and it's already Friday?
