Architect stakes claim on Brando island

Marlon Brando's family's plans to turn his private Polynesian island into a luxury tourist attraction has hit a snag - an architect has declared rights to build a home there.

Brando, who died on July 1, bought the Tahitian atoll of Tetiaroa after making Mutiny on the Bounty in the 1960s and often made trips there for sun-kissed relaxation.
