the embodiment of brutish Stanley Kowalski in 1951's "A Streetcar Named Desire," famously bellowing "STELLA!" at his estranged love with a mix of anguish and desire Even though the studios had written off the star in the early 1970s, he went on to create the iconic character of Don Vito Corleone in "The Godfather," which reinvigorated his career and earned him his second best-actor Oscar He was pushy, difficult, temperamental and demanding â€â€? and his preference for repeated takes came to be regarded as excessive and costly "Marlon would hate the idea of people chiming in to give their comments about his death " The reclusive Brando died of lung failure at 6:30 p A hundred pounds heavier, he hired himself out at huge salaries for such commercial enterprises as "Superman" and "Christopher Columbus: The Discovery Seeley, said funeral arrangements would be private Then came his mixed-up, washed-up boxer Terry Malloy of 1954's "On the Waterfront," who laments throwing fights for his gangster brother with the line, "I coulda been a contender " But these lines, when spoken by the late Marlon Brando, revolutionized the way actors behaved onscreen and ignited a generation of performers to unleash their inner passion before the cameras He fathered at least nine children He maintained a working relationship with Coppola, who chose him for another memorable role, the insane Col " The key to Brando's craft was Method acting, a practice learned at Stella Adler's renowned Actors Studio in New York Brando's private life was tumultuous ' Most of his later films were undistinguished His three wives were all pregnant when they married him I coulda been somebody Kurtz in 1979's "Apocalypse Now," who uttered the line "The horror His impact on screen acting was demonstrated by Academy Award nominations as best actor in four successive years: as Kowalski in "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951); as the Mexican revolutionary in "Viva Zapata!" (1952); as Marc Anthony in "Julius Caesar" (1953); and as Terry Malloy in "On the Waterfront" (1954) "Whattaya got?" was his character's reply Then came 1972's "The Godfather," which became an overwhelming critical and commercial success Al Martino, who got shaken around by Brando as the singer Johnny Fontane in "The Godfather," said the actor was more than kind to him, especially since Martino lacked acting experience m He took up the study of acting at 19 and appeared in numerous stage shows " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Associated Press writers Jeff Wilson and Bob Thomas in Los Angeles contributed to this report " But the ceaseless spotlight never made him conform Brando's personally combative nature only increased as he grew older But his stunt at the 1973 Oscar ceremony cemented his status as one of the movie industry's most bizarre talents While his early roles were marked by an overt, almost predatory, sexuality that made him a rebellious film icon, Brando let his good looks fade as he gained weight and became increasingly reclusive in later years Thursday at UCLA Medical Center, according to hospital spokeswoman Roxanne Moster It was roundly booed â€â€? and torpedoed much of the comeback good will his performance had earned among studio honchos "I am myself," he once declared, "and if I have to hit my head against a brick wall to remain true to myself, I will do it Brando, who died at age 80 on Thursday, revolutionized Hollywood's image of a leading man playing street-tough, emotionally raw characters in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront" and then revived his career a generation later as the definitive Mafia don in "The Godfather "He influenced more young actors of my generation than any actor," longtime friend and "Godfather" co-star James Caan said Friday Brando's attorney, David J Regardless of his personal peculiarities, nothing could diminish Brando's reputation as an actor of startling power and invention To research the story of paraplegic war veterans, he spent a month in a veterans hospital "The method actor in Brando almost brought me to my knees Brando's jowly, raspy-voiced Corleone became a film icon, down to the subtlest mannerisms: the Mafia chief stroking a cat sweetly as he plotted violence, the contemplative brush of fingers against his bulldog jaw The technique eschewed grandiose theatricality in favor of a deeper psychological approach, often through near-continuous rehearsal that led many actors to behave like their characters even when offstage " or even "The horror His first film was director Stanley Kramer's "The Men" in 1950 the horror He slaps me and I tell you, my teeth shattered," Martino said His family life turned tragic with his son's conviction for killing the boyfriend of his half-sister, Cheyenne Brando, in 1990 All I'll say is that it makes me sad he's gone," "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola said Friday Besides his win for "The Godfather," he also had Oscar nominations for "Sayonara" (1957), "Last Tango in Paris" (1973) and "A Dry White Season" (1989) What will we do without Marlon in this world?" said his "Godfather" co-star Al Pacino, one of the generation of stars influenced by his work " "I was shocked and deepy saddened at the loss of the greatest acting genius of our time The native of Omaha, Neb His first came years earlier for 1954's "On the Waterfront," and Brando showed up in a tuxedo and graciously accepted it Revolutionary Actor Marlon Brando Dies Jul 3, 7:05 AM EST The words are pretty simple: "Stella!" and "I coulda been a contender 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 |
