One confidante, Pat Cox – who had been romantically linked to screenwriter Wally Cox, Brando’s close friend – offered an unflinching assessment of the Last Tango in Paris star while speaking to Grobel about the profile he was writing on the Hollywood icon.

Christopher Reeve calmly and succinctly shared with David Letterman why Marlon Brando was not impressive to work with on 'Superman': 'The man didn't care.'

In 'The Godfather,' De Niro and Brando combined to make Vito Corleone one of the most iconic and recognizable movie characters of all time.

Marlon Brando’s Jor-El cameo in Superman became Hollywood legend for its salary, behind-the-scenes drama, and surreal ideas involving bagels and green suitcases.

Still, because he was Marlon Brando, the two-time Academy Award-winning icon who changed the face of acting forever, it required a hefty salary to convince him to commit to any production, even if the directors and cast members knew there was a high chance he’d get up to his usual tricks.
