Marlon Brando: April 3, 1924 – July 1, 2004

Marlon Brando

The original Hollywood hellraiser, Brando set out to do things his own way and left behind one of the most incredible bodies of work of any actor. Always a misfit and rebel in his life and career, he essentially single-handedly reinvented acting and created some of the most iconic characters and performances in movie history.

‘There’s a line in the picture where he snarls, ‘Nobody tells me what to do.’ That’s exactly how I’ve felt all my life.’
