Publisher Description

Following his development from moody Oklahoma teenager to the method-trained star to the eccentric recluse of his later years, Patricia Bosworth offers a penetrating look at Marlon Brando’s evolving persona: the volcanic Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, the sensitive rebel in The Wild Ones, the iconic Don Corleone in The Godfather. Bosworth probes Brando’s alcoholic parents’ influence on his acting, his decades of psychoanalysis, and his tumultuous personal relationships. Here, from rebellious unknown to reluctant idol to falling star, is the complex charismatic genius who changed the face of acting. “A vivid reminder of the personal and professional highlights of Brando's life.”—Publishers Weekly

" A straight-forward account of the weird, zany life of one of the greatest actors who ever lived "
— Blake, 12/4/2013
Overall Performance:
" Marlon Brando was pretty much a good looking jerk who stole a friend's ashes from his (the dead guy) wife. But he was great in the Godfather so it makes everything alright. I enjoyed the book, but it was written with rose colored keys. "
— Neil, 5/10/2013
Overall Performance:
" I like him as an actor. That being said, after reading this book I really didn't like him as a person. I can understand some of his pain but he used it as an excuse for his self-indulgence and snobbery. I hope she wasn't trying to put his life in a positive light because she didn't. "
— Erin, 10/16/2012
Overall Performance:
" As with Bobbie Mason's Elvis Presly book in the same series, this biography is fascinating until he becomes a star, and then it bogs down. "
