Marlon Brando: Cheyenne Brando
built 192 days ago
In his personal life, Marlon Brando would face, but not always overcome, many problems. His eldest son Christian was imprisoned for 10 years for the murder of his half-sister Cheyenne's boyfriend. Cheyenne then committed suicide at only 25. Brando was naturally devastated by these events and became a virtual recluse. He stayed either at his private Polynesian atoll, known as Tetiaroa, or in his Hollywood mansion.

At the time of Brando’s death in 2004, Brando recognized eleven children in his will. There was one child, Christian, in his first marriage, two children, Miko and Rebecca, in his second marriage, and two children, Simon Teihotu and Cheyenne, in his third marriage. There were ... three children by adoption and three children by his maid, Christina Maria Ruiz, during the latter part of his life.

In 1990, his son Christian shot and killed Dag Drollet, the lover of Brando's daughter Cheyenne, in Beverly Hills. Christian Brando was eventually found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to 10 years.

Brando's private life turned tragic years later with his son's conviction for killing the boyfriend of his half sister, Cheyenne Brando, in 1990. Five years later, Cheyenne committed suicide, still depressed over the killing.
