AP News just reported the pasing of one of hollywood's true stars, Marlon Brando.

"He wasn't a contender....he was a winner."

My mom once waited on Brando while working at a restaraunt in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the late fifties, and when he discovered she spoke french, reponded by ordering in french only. She was absolutely mesmerized by him.
One of her favorite memories.

I always thought that a "one-on-one" with BRANDO and VonDutch would've been a real pip!

I know there is more story to Marlon then this...

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040702/ap_en_ce/obit_brando

I remember seeing him on one of these tv shows and he couldn't stand being bothered with cameras, sad how when you want to just mind your own business, people want to bother you from all directions. May he rest in peace...

First influence I remember of Brando was The Wild One. It seemed odd at the time that a biker would ride a Triumph.

On the Waterfront was also a powerful statement to me as a kid.

Brando was a strong actor. I even enjoyed the comedy side of his work when he did The Freshman.

Good bye Mr. Brando
