    Marlon Brando was simply blessed with great looks and Charisma. Many women are captivating and can get men to do most anything for them.On the opposite spectrum there are fewer men with this gift that can get women to do most anything. Marlon Brando was one of those men. In the interviews with the women who dated him they all seemed to know what a philandering wunder-lust he was. ...but in his presence they all seemed to cave to his masculine AND feminine energy and would fall back into his arms over and over. Some guys have all the luck!

    Is it "lucky" to not be able to produce lasting relationships, to mess up your kids? I'm not so sure. But let's avoid mythmaking and hagiography.

    @@niltomega2978 The parties I go to are not for the purpose of sexual conquest. So luckily I do get invited back. Listen, Brando was definitely a complicated dude. You can't look away. I admire what he did at the Oscars-- people were FURIOUS. He had his moments of positive terrorism on symbolic terrain-- Hollywood's prize territory. Good for him. Apparently he fucked everything that moved. I'm less interested in that.

    Marlon Brando is the greatest actor because of his unmatched acting range. From 1950-60 he played a paraplegic in THE MEN, Stanley Kowalski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, a Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA, Mark Anthony, a Hell's Angel in THE WILD ONE, Terry Malloy in ON THE WATERFRONT, Napoleon in DESIREE, sang and danced in GUYS AND DOLLS, a Japanese man in TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, a contrite nazi in YOUNG LIONS then directed ONE EYED JACKS.

    He was so extremely handsome and striking in his youth. He is handsome here in this video but in 1940 and 1945 he was Adonis Ideal! His great features were inescapable and I am sure got him intimate with numerous women. I dont get why he would be psychologically "damaged" having the ability to have any woman he want. I agree with another person who commented: Some guys have all the luck. Yeah I know some smart alec who fancy himself "wise" is gonna say "yeah but good looks are not everything". And my reply to that lame remark is: They are when you dont have them.

    I've been researching into him more, as he was far before my time but everything I've heard him say about her and others about her so far was how she was such a wonderful kind woman who taught him to appreciate the little things and animals. Sounds like dad was a monster to them both, maybe she should've protected him more and he held resentment there. Abusive families are akwahs complicated.

    Dorothy Pennebaker Brando. She acted in community theater in Nebraska and encouraged a callow Henry Fonda. Brando really loved her but felt her alcoholism diminished their relationship. He felt by performing it would reunite them. He would have her go over his film scripts and took on Mark Anthony because of her passion for Shakespeare. When she passed away after ON THE WATERFRONT, Brando went into a brief eclipse. But how he felt about Dorothy is obvious. When Brando formed his own production company, he named it, PENNEBAKER PRODUCTIONS.

    Well, this is from 1955. The negative things he said/revealed about her came *YEARS* later. Besides, this is when Marlon was the hottest thing in town and, of course, it was the 1950’s. 1) Actors in general *really* kept their personal lives, well, private. Marlon in particular disliked talking about his family. 2) The studios, agents, etc, in that era did all they could to prevent their stars from being cast in a bad light. 3) Many just didn’t talk about stuff like this back in those days, let alone publicly. Not to say no one did, but common it wasn’t. With that in mind, of course someone like Marlon (whose star power was shining) wasn’t going to reveal *to the world* how things actually were with his parents growing up. I mean just look at him here: it’s obvious he’s barely trying to appear jovial with his *pops* . His father after all was a brute who used to beat his wife & son. In any case, while it’s possible he felt conflicted over his mother back then, Marlon by all accounts loved her despite all her faults.
