LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Marlon Brando: Plays
built 199 days ago
The don's death scene was ... made memorable by Brando's idea of cutting an orange peel and putting it in his mouth to "frighten" his little grandson in order to elicit the desired reaction for the camera. Prior to this, the boy playing the grandson simply was unable to adequately animate. That scene is arguably the one best remembered by most fans.

Mr. Brando should know that what he said is utterly false, extremely offensive and plays into the hands of anti-Semites and bigots. His comments raise the centuries-old canard of Jewish control and conspiracy, and his use of an anti-Semitic epithet is hurtful to Jews everywhere.

John Gielgud (Cassius) beheld him, and then invited Brando to come to England for a season of plays they would do together - Brando declined, and lived on to see the noble creative vitality of Gielgud, working, working. Brando was Johnny the biker in The Wild One (1953), a very camp figure, a gay icon, but a sulky kid who, when asked "What are you rebelling against?", knew young America's cool answer, "What have you got?"

Brando’s personally combative nature only increased as he grew older. It might best be defined by his line from 1953’s “The Wild One,” in which Brando, playing a motorcycle gang leader, was asked what he’s rebelling against.

For the frustating part with Brando, he must have felt unintelligent after every loss. I'm sure every chess player knows what it feels like to keep losing- it feels like you are mentally incompetent and that's just what keeps you playing more games.
