Marlon Brando news, related photos and videos, and reviews of Marlon Brando performances. According to Wikipedia: Marlon Brando, Jr. was an Oscar-winning American actor. He is widely known as the greatest film actor of the 20th century. He brought the techniques of method acting to prominence in the films A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront, both directed by Elia Kazan in the early 1950s. His acting style, combined with his public persona as an outsider uninterested in the Hollywood of the early 1950s, had a profound effect on a generation of actors that would come after him. Brando was also an activist, lending his presence to many issues, including the American Indian Movement.

Monday Man-Marlon Brando


Welcome to this week's edition of Monday Man.

Today's spotlight shines on the incredible Marlon Brando.

Marlon Brando was one of the most raw, talented actors to ever grace the stage or screen.

He has appeared in countless classics such as On the Waterfront, The Godfather, and my favorite, A Streetcar Named Desire.

Set against the backdrop of 1950's New Orleans, the passion and electricity of Brando's performance is evident from the time he walks in the room.

The animal attraction between Stanley (Brando) and Stella Kowalski (Kim Hunter) ignites a true intimacy found in the mixed up relationships of people in love.

However, the forbidden fruit of Stella's emotionally sensitive sister, Blanche (Vivien Leigh), adds to the lunacy and lust of this Elia Kazan classic.

So hop aboard a Streetcar Named Desire and travel to a place of passion, mystery, and suspense.
