The Godfather (1972).
Marlon Brando was notorious for being difficult to work with because of his unwillingness to memorize his lines and for having less interest in taking direction from film directors and for being more interested in confronting them. He also had odd demand from film directors.
In the 1953 movie The Wild One, Marlon Brando's role was the lead as gang leader Johnny Strabler. Some say it was an iconic portrayal. He was the leader of a gang of bikers.
His cause of death was listed as pulmonary fibrosis. It was noted he also had congestive heart failure, diabetes, and liver cancer. Like Errol Flynn, it was a race between Brando's heart, lungs, and liver on which would give out first. Amazingly, Brando lived to age 80 despite numerous health issues.
What've you got?
Yes it is true because Marlon's played in so many memorable roles including one that he most remembered by the part of Don Vito Corleone from The Godfather, But the movie that truly made Marlon Brando famous was the true classic A Streetcar Named Desire
No. Rita Moreno dated Marlon Brando for eight years. She was married to Leonard Gordon from June 18, 1965 to June 30, 2010.
While it is known that Brando was an accomplished musician, there is no concrete evidence that he ever played the slide trombone. However, there are several theories as to why he may have played this instrument.
Some believe that Brando may have played the slide trombone because he was seen holding one in several photographs. It is possible that he was simply holding the instrument for someone else or that he was experimenting with it. There is also a possibility that he was taking lessons on the slide trombone but never progressed beyond a beginner level.
Others believe that Brando may have played the slide trombone because he was interested in jazz music. Jazz is often associated with the slide trombone, and Brando was known to be a fan of jazz music. It is possible that he learned to play the instrument in order to be able to better appreciate jazz music.
Regardless of whether or not Brando actually played the slide trombone, it is clear that he was a very talented musician. He was able to play a variety of instruments, including the piano, banjo, and guitar. He also had a natural gift for acting, which helped him become one of the most successful actors of all time.

Marlon Brandon was a virtual unknown when the Broadway play opened in 1947. In fact, the producer, Irene Mayer Selznek, wanted to cast established actor, John Garfield, for the part. Brando, along with most of the Broaway cast, was cast in the film production.

The Stanislavski system, or the 'Method'-acting style.
Yes he put cotton balls in his mouth. Brando had a very high pitch voice all his life. Not very convincing as a movie mafia don! Brando was a great actor obviously, but something had to be done about that voice. Also I have heard that since Brando felt he never had to audition for a part, director Francis Ford Coppola tricked Brando (somehow) and yes Brando unintentionally read for the part.
You moron. It's "You can't SEE California without Marlon Brando's eyes".

Are you talking about Brando the real person or the character he played (Major Lloyd Gruver) in that film?
His co-star in that film was Miiko Taka, who played Hana-Ogi -- the two actors were never married.
MAJOR SPOILERS FOLLOW!
According to TCMdb, at the end of the film, Hana-Ogi tells reporters
'that she and Gruver will be married, and hopes that someday people will understand and approve. American reporters, who have followed Gruver from the airport hoping for a story, ask Gruver if he has anything to say to military officials. After thinking a moment, Gruver says, "sayonara." '
To me, this means that a marriage will soon follow, but does not actually occur during the plot of this film. So take your pick.
Playwright Tennessee Williams Pulitzer winning book of "A Streetcar named Desire" was adapted for Screen by Williams himself. It was a perfect vehicle for Marlon Brandowho became a towering Hollywood figure and is regarded to have defined a new concept and style of Acting after he appeared as the rustic and brutish Stanley Kowalski in the Elia Kazan directed film of the same name in 1951.
Brando had already appeared in the Broadway version of this play in 1947 which was a big success but mass-appeal eluded him. Earlier after a disastrous schooling sojourn he found his true calling when he moved from Nebraska to NYC to join the "Actor's Studio". This school of acting propagated the 'method acting' under Lee Strasberg. It was in "New School Dramatic Workshop" where he studied with Stella Adler and learned the revolutionary tactics of the "Stanislavsky system".
Brando's realistic acting style in "A Streetcar named Desire" (1951) garnered for him a Academy Awards Nomination for Best Actor and continued his nomination streak in his next 3 films in consecutive years winning the coveted award in 1954 for his portrayal as the vulnerable Terry Malloy in "On the Waterfront" directed by none other than Elia Kazan. Brando had a profound effect on stars like James Dean, Paul Newman, and to some extent Robert DeNiro.
