But Coppola manipulated the politics to his own benefit, persuading Brando with the white lie that it was a "makeup" test for the cameras, not an acting test " The latter was directed by Elia Kazan, who would hire him for the play "A Streetcar Named Desire" in 1947 and later the movie In the beginning, it was a little uncomfortable Before the sentencing, Marlon Brando delivered an hour of rambling testimony in which he said he and his ex-wife had failed Christian He fathered at least nine children " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Associated Press writers Jeff Wilson and Bob Thomas in Los Angeles contributed to this report "He was an original 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) He did maintain a working relationship with Coppola, who chose him for another memorable role, the insane Col Although he remained a leading star, Brando's career waned in the 1960s with a series of failures The reclusive Brando died of lung failure at 6:30 p 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 The Tennessee Williams play made Brando famous, but the actor was uncomfortable with the attention It was roundly booed â€â€? and torpedoed much of the comeback good will his performance had earned among studio honchos He was sentenced to 10 years in prison They finally relented on the condition that Brando would consent to the indignity of a screen test, something usually reserved for newcomers After a heavily publicized trial, Christian was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and use of a gun " The key to Brando's craft was Method acting â€â€? a practice learned at Stella Adler's renowned Actors Studio in New York Brando sent a woman who identified herself as Sasheen Littlefeather to reject his "Godfather" trophy on his behalf and read a diatribe about Hollywood's poor treatment of American Indians Thursday at UCLA Medical Center, according to hospital spokeswoman Roxanne Moster " "He WAS that fighter," Saint said , on April 3, 1924 Most of his later films were undistinguished He took up the study of acting in the city, and appeared in such plays as "I Remember Mama," and "Truckline Cafe For generations of movie lovers, Brando was unforgettable â€â€? 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 "He was so sensitive He was pushy, difficult, temperamental and demanding â€â€? and his preference for repeated takes came to be regarded as excessive and costly 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 The film was an overwhelming critical and commercial success "But it can't rule me because I'm not afraid of anything and I don't love money He sometimes refused to memorize his lines and would hide them on various props or on the chests of other actors facing away from the camera I coulda been somebody His three wives were all pregnant when they married him A remake of "Mutiny on the Bounty" in 1962, with Brando as Fletcher Christian, seemed to bolster his reputation as a difficult star "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 " "He was so generous, so kind," Saint said They thought Coppola would be too embarrassed to ask or the request would sour Brando's interest in the role Nicknamed "Bud" to distinguish him from his father, Brando and his family moved around the country throughout his youth " In the early '70s, one of his greatest performances was overshadowed by an uproar over the erotic nature of Bernardo Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris Seeley, said funeral arrangements would be private His family life turned tragic with his son's conviction for killing the boyfriend of his half-sister, Cheyenne Brando, in 1990 If I could trade places with Dag, I would The "Bounty" experience affected Brando's life in a profound way: he fell in love with Tahiti and its people But his stunt at the 1973 Oscar ceremony cemented his status as one of the movie industry's most bizarre talents "Anyone who denies this never understood what it was all about " Brando's private life was tumultuous I'm prepared for the consequences Tahitian beauty Tarita, who appeared in the film, became his third wife and mother of two of his children Each take was different He commented softly to members of victim Dag Drollet's family: "I'm sorry He was blamed for a change in directors and a runaway budget, though he disclaimed responsibility for either He was the bridge between the heroic and upstanding screen purity of earlier stars such as Cary Grant, Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda and a generation of conflicted anti-heroes played by the likes of Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman " In his memoir, "Songs My Mother Taught Me," Brando wrote of being emotionally drained by "Last Tango," an improvised film that included several autobiographical speeches " His combative reputation seemed to increase with every film " Marlon Brando Jr Coppola, then a relatively new filmmaker with little Hollywood sway, wanted him for Mafia leader Corleone in "The Godfather" in 1972, but Paramount studio chiefs vowed never to hire the troublesome actor " But the ceaseless spotlight never made him conform Aware of his mistreatment by the studio and reportedly sore about his earnings for "The Godfather," he refused to show up to shoot a brief flashback scene at the end of the sequel " But, she said, she eventually came to regard him as "a prince "Whattaya got?" was his character's reply He claimed it increased the spontaneity of the line readings He bought an island, Tetiaroa, which he intended to make part environmental laboratory and part resort 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 came from the American heartland, born in Omaha, Neb Brando's personally combative nature only increased as he grew older "Hollywood is ruled by fear and love of money," he once said To research the story of paraplegic war veterans, he spent a month in a veterans hospital All I'll say is that it makes me sad he's gone," "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola said Friday He was constantly being reprimanded for misbehavior at school, and had a talent for playacting, both in elaborate pranks and in plays and recitations You just felt that when he looked in your eyes, he knew everything about you " Afterward, Drollet's father said he thought Brando was acting and his son was "getting away with murder Brando's attorney, David J Brando's jowly, raspy-voiced don 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 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) After getting expelled from military school, Brando at 19 moved to New York and stayed with his sister Frances, an art student Kurtz in 1979's "Apocalypse Now "Marlon would hate the idea of people chiming in to give their comments about his death m At the end of his two-year contract for "Streetcar" he never appeared in another play His first came years earlier for 1954's "On the Waterfront," and Brando showed up in a tuxedo and graciously accepted it Regardless of his personal peculiarities, nothing could diminish Brando's reputation as an actor of startling power and invention A hundred pounds heavier, he hired himself out at huge salaries for such commercial enterprises as "Superman" and "Christopher Columbus: The Discovery "He influenced more young actors of my generation than any actor," longtime friend and "Godfather" co-star James Caan said Friday Although he remained in Hollywood, he refused to be part of it His first film was director Stanley Kramer's "The Men" in 1950 While working on the musical "Guys and Dolls," he reportedly infuriated co-star Frank Sinatra â€â€? who was notoriously impatient with reshoots â€â€? by insisting on take after take after take, coolly and endlessly redoing scenes while Sinatra bristled 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 " Even so, she never saw him again after the movie was finished 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 'Godfather' Star Marlon Brando Dies at 80 Jul 2, 4:51 PM EST Marlon Brando, the eccentric star of "The Godfather" who early in his career redefined the image of a Hollywood leading man through acclaimed Method performances as street-tough but emotionally raw characters, died at 80 He hated the clamor of fans and suffered through interviews "You never stopped being the character, you never stopped being in that mode," said Eva Marie Saint, Brando's co-star in "On the Waterfront Five years later, Cheyenne committed suicide, never having gotten over her depression and the killing But Brando knew how to bite the hand that fed him "If I was going to a corporate job somewhere, I'd call him up, and he'd rattle off 10 jokes," his son recalled " He turned down many offers to star in another TV series, complaining that he could rarely get along with network executives Doing so, he moved on to Los Angeles, where he scored at a small showcase club " The comedian appeared on television from the medium's beginnings and starred in the short-lived series "Stanley" from 1956 to 1957 Funnyman Buddy Hackett Dies at 78 Jul 1, 4:45 AM EST Buddy Hackett, the squat, round, rubbery-faced funnyman who appeared for more than 50 years as a top act in nightclubs, Broadway shows, on television and in such movies as "The Music Man," "The Love Bug" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," has died, his son said " His performances in those days were noted for their prolific use of four-letters words at a time when that just wasn't done He'd call and say: 'A guy walks into a bar Hackett was invited to join the Three Stooges when "Curly" Howard, the bald-headed member of the comedy team, suffered a stroke in 1946 '" Hackett had flopped using joke writers, and he soon came to realize that only he could write for Buddy Hackett Hackett was married to the former Sherry Dubois, whom he met at the Concord Hotel in the Catskills But Hackett declined, believing he could develop his own comedy style " Among his other movies: "Fireman Save My Child," "God's Little Acre," "All Hands on Deck," "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm," "Muscle Beach Party," "Loose Shoes," "Scrooged" and Disney's animated "The Little Mermaid," as the voice of Scuttle He played legendary comic Lou Costello in the 1978 film "Bud and Lou Playing for small money on the Borscht Circuit for New York City vacationers in the Catskill Mountains, he learned to get laughs with his complaints about being short, fat and Jewish "He was one of the greatest ever For a time he apprenticed in his father's upholstery shop, but at school he found he had a talent for making his fellow students laugh "He never called just to say hello When he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame a few years ago, he quipped that he had left Brooklyn "to get away from the subway" only to discover that his star had been placed above the one in Los Angeles Hackett died at his Southern California beach house either late Sunday or early Monday, Sandy Hackett told The Associated Press on Monday night "That ends the meeting," he once said of network officials telling him how to structure a comedy show " He also appeared on the New York stage in "Viva Madison Avenue" (1960) and "I Had a Ball" (1964) Soon he was earning top money in Las Vegas, Florida and Las Vegas His career grew with appearances on the TV shows of Jack Paar, Arthur Godfrey and others He made numerous guest appearances on other shows, appearing in recent years on "Just Shoot Me" and "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" and, in a recurring bit called "Tuesdays With Buddy," on "The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn "He was born funny," his son said Monday He prepared me very well for this day, but no matter how much you prepare it still hurts," Sandy Hackett said as he arrived at his mother's house in Los Angeles In the beginning his material was suitable for family audiences, but in later years nightclubs advertised his show "For Mature Audiences Only "It was in his bones "It's a damn circle," he joked After graduating from New York's New Utrecht High School, where he had played on the football team, Hacker spent three years in the military during World War II, then reinvented himself as Buddy Hackett, standup comedian â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
