Marlon Brando

From the early days: Brando stunned audiences in 1948 with a revolutionary, raw, improvisational approach to acting. It covers his breakthrough roles, including Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, the sensitive rebel in The Wild One, and the iconic Don Corleone in The Godfather. The book also explores Brando’s private life: his intense privacy, personal struggles, relationships, contradictions (e.g. a womanizer who remained tied to childhood friends, his animal companions, causes he believed in) and his ambition.
