I saw A Streetcar Named Desire recently. Brando was very, very good at his job. And sexy as all get out.

Brando has been one of my favorite actors for a long time, and, tied with Paul Newman, is probably my favorite actor of the 50's.

Ah, On the Waterfront was fantastic! Particularly when you realize that acting at the time was sort of stylized and fakey and hammy (rather like the acting in Gone With the Wind), then along comes Brando with this new method acting and the whole movie was so gritty and realistic and just very true to life. My mother told me it was quite an astonishing change. (She always adored Marlon Brando, but she said she was glad she had married Daddy after all instead of Marlon because Daddy kept his figure better when they got older. )
Anyway, he was a great actor, particularly in his young leading man days, and I'm sorry he's gone.

"There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love."
