Something wrong?He mumbled, brooded, and made audiences forget acting was supposed to look like acting - then spent decades half-ruining his own myth with indifference and scandal.

Marlon Brando came up through Stella Adler's studio in the 1940s, bringing Stanislavski's method to Broadway in plays like A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), where his Stanley Kowalski became a sensation. He made his film debut in The Men (1950), won Oscars for On the Waterfront (1954) and The Godfather (1972), and drew nominations for roles ranging from Emiliano Zapata to Mark Antony to the crime boss Vito Corleone. He became the face of 1950s rebellion in The Wild One, directed his own western One-Eyed Jacks (1961), and took on Apocalypse Now and Superman before largely retreating. He won an Emmy for Roots: The Next Generations (1979), then disappeared for nine years. The final two decades brought controversy, legal trouble, mood disorders, and a string of diminishing returns that ended with The Score in 2001.
