Marlon Brando won 2 Academy Awards for, "Best Actor of the Year."

The first was in 1954, for his role in the movie, "On the Waterfront."

The second was in 1972, for "The Godfather," which he would not accept. The reason he would not accept the award, was because he was protesting the way Hollywood treated American Indians.

How was marlon brando's childhood like?

Marlon Brando's childhood was not happy. His parents drank too much alcohol and argued often. Dorothy Brando blamed her husband for the failure of her acting career. The older Marlon Brando did not have a good relationship with his son. In a book about his life, the actor wrote that his father never had anything good to say about his son. The Brandos moved many times when Marlon was young. His parents separated when he was eleven, but they re-united after two years. Young Marlon was always getting into trouble at school. His father decided to send him to a military school in Minnesota. Marlon did not do well in classes there. But he did find support for his interest in theater. A drama teacher urged him to begin acting in plays there and he did. But he was expelled from the school for getting into trouble.

Oh, dude, Marlon Brando was known for being a bit of a free spirit when it came to religion.

So, yeah, you could say he was more of a spiritual wanderer than a devout follower.
