Well, this is either one of the greatest hoaxes in on-line history or no other source has been confirmed on this story yet. Nothing on CNN, FOX, etc. Drudge just put it up, but it's strange that nobody has run with the story yet....

Was it not just a couple of days ago that there were reports of him being millions in debt and homeless?
I guess this is considered a current event?
Maybe this will be moved to the movies forum.

One of the best, for sure, though I don't see how anyone compares with James Stewart.

Some freak mod from the "Current Events" board dumped another Brando thread here, so they are merged.

I like his performances in On the Waterfront and The Wild One best.

Yeah, I was coming over here to post that.
Weird that there's no confirmation. And the article in the link said he died yesterday!

Sounds fishey to me. I thought I read a report last week that Brando was bankrupt...

He and Cary Grant were the two most influential movie actors ever. Everybody go rent "A Streetcar Named Desire."

My favorite performance of his is "On the Waterfront". His acting in that movie was absolutely electrifying. Clearly one of the greatest actors of the 20th Century.

While he is good in Waterfront and Godfather, the real pinnacle of his acting, and perhaps Amerrican screen acting, is A Streetcar Named Desire. RIP
