Marlon Brando 1924 - 2004
The cause of death was not immediately known. Reports citing family friends and Brando’s lawyer said he died at a Los Angeles area hospital on Thursday. His agents, citing his long-held desire for privacy, confirmed his death but declined to give details.
With his broken nose and rebellious nature, Brando established a more naturalistic style of acting and defined American machismo for a generation with classic performances in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), The Wild One (1953) and On the Waterfront (1954).
