built 235 days ago
Marlon Brando was bi and admitted it all his life. The photo in question has been in circulation since at least the 70's and the "member" in question is that of Wally Cox, Brando's soul-mate for life, who he roomed with for several years and loved. Cox could not put up with Brando's habit of having random sex with numerous men and women. But when Wally Cox died, Marlon Brando had him cremated and took his ashes, and kept them on his dresser for the rest of his life. He never got over Wally Cox's death. Wally Cox was Mr. Peepers on the 50's television show.

Brando was a top 10 box office star for much of the 1950s. In "The Wild One," as the head of a motorcycle gang, he was asked what he was rebelling against. "Whaddya got?" he answered. He was ill-at-ease but game as Marc Antony in "Julius Caesar" and game but odd in "Guys and Dolls" (1955). He starred in "Sayonara" (1957) and "The Young Lions" (1958).
