Why was Marlon Brando famous?

Brando became famous for his role in A Streetcar Name Desire. His performance in that movie popularized method acting, where a performer immerses themselves in the mindset of their character.

Brando's performance in the movie stands out because every other actor is still using stage acting techniques, clearly annunciating their words and making broad gestures "for the back seats," while Brando plays his role as realistically as possible. He mumbles many of his lines and uses small gestures that a camera picks up, but a stage audience would not have. In doing so he is often credited with revolutionizing acting for film as a distinctly different art than acting for stage.

Does rita moreno have children by marlon brando?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Moreno claims -- and there is no reason to doubt her story -- that she had a torrid, but ultimately doomed, relationship with Brando for almost eight years. She claims that a pregnancy that resulted from that affair caused Brando to arrange an abortion. SO, depending on your definiton of "having a child," Moreno had either one or no child with him.

What marlon brando movie was band in italy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The movie Last Tango in Paris was released in Italy on December 15, 1972, grossing an unprecedented $100,000 in only six days. One week later, however, police seized all copies on the order of a prosecutor, who defined the movie as "self-serving pornography", and its director was put to trial for "obscenity". Following first degree and appeal trials, the fate of the film was sealed on January 26, 1976 by the Italian Supreme Court, which sentenced all copies to be destroyed. Bernardo Bertolucci was served with a four month suspended sentence in prison and had his civil rights revoked for five years. In 1987, 15 years after the film's release, a new ruling allowed the film to be released in Italy.

Why did marlon brando turn down Oscar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the 85 years of Academy or the Oscar Award history, only twice has the Best Actor in a leading role been refused by the winner. The first was by George C.Scott in 1970 for playing the role of Gen.Patton in the biopic 'Patton'. In the 45th Award ceremony held in 1973, Marlon Brando was voted as the Best Actor for his role of a Mafia chieftain and patriarch of the powerful Corleone family in NY. Brando refused to accept the Academy or the Oscar Award citing that the Native Indian were badly portrayed in Hollywood Movies. Instead he sent an Apache Emissary named Sacheen Littlefeather to represent him and read out a lengthy script prepared by Brando which read “The motion picture community has been as responsible as any, for degrading the Native Indian and making a mockery of his character, describing his as savage, hostile and evil.”
