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.

By the end of his years, he had basically spent all his money trying to keep his son out of prison and had to put his island, house on mullholland, and property on loan to pay for his son's trial although christian was convicted anyway. so in his final years, he seemed to live on a pension he got from the screen actor's guild and that's about it.
You're probably thinking of the two Superman movies with Christopher Reeve. In the end, about ten minutes of Brando was put on-screen, for which he got paid $14 million. That works out to over $20 thousand per SECOND of screen time.
George C. Scott was never complimentary of the Academy Awards, and once referred to the ceremony as "a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons."
When he earned his first-ever nomination, a 1959 Best Supporting Actor nod for "Anatomy of a Murder," Scott apparently tolerated recognition from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It was a different story two years later, when he again was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, this time for the 1961 drama "The Hustler." He declined the nomination because of his dislike of Oscar competition and campaigns.
It all came to a head in the spring of 1970, when Scott began receiving critical praise for his performance in the biopic "Patton" as U.S. Army Gen. George S. Patton, a hero of World War II. Appearing on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," Scott was asked what he would do if he received another Oscar nomination. The actor responded that he would decline it, too.
Sure enough, when the 1970 Oscar field was revealed several months later, Scott received a nomination for Best Actor. He sent a telegram to the Academy, declaring his intention to decline the award and not attend the ceremony. True to his word, Scott was not in attendance on April 15, 1971, when presenter Goldie Hawn announced that he had won the Best Actor award.
Interestingly, Scott was nominated for Best Actor a year later for his performance in "The Hospital," a 1971 black comedy by Paddy Chayefsky. The veteran actor didn't show up that time, either.
Director Francis Ford Coppola (initially) convinced Brando to submit to a "make-up" test, in which Brando did his own makeup.He used cotton balls to simulate the puffed-cheek look.
