A hospital spokeswoman said he had lung failure and heart ailments.

Jurors in a civil lawsuit against Michael Jackson on Wednesday heard increasingly frantic phone messages that the singer left for a business associate, demanding action on projects including a collaboration with actor Marlon Brando and the release of a charity recording. Tapes of the messages left on F. Marc Schaffel's answering machine were played to show his close relationship with Jackson and that he was entrusted with handling millions of dollars for the singer.

Never in the history of movies has a presence been as intense as Brando's. Never has an actor been so "present," and never has an actor been so creative as Brando. When he's onscreen, try to keep your eyes on anyone else. You just can't. Sure, he sometimes upstaged and could be a pain in the ass, but he never did it when he respected the story. Sure, he often refused to learn his lines, but he explained to Francis Ford Coppola during The Godfather that it was a necessary part of his naturalistic acting style.
