<DIV><DIV><b>An illuminating biography of Marlon Brando, a cultural icon and one of the most legendary American actors of all time</b></div><BR><DIV>In 1948 Marlon Brando stunned audiences and critics alike with his revolutionary, raw, and improvisational approach to acting. He became a symbol of a new, rebellious generation that was sick of conventions and committed to genuine emotion and unvarnished truth. From his breakout role as Stanley Kowalski in&#160;<i>A Streetcar Named Desire</i> to his mesmerizing portrayal of Don Corleone in <i>The Godfather</i>, he created some of the most memorable characters in American cinematic history. Brando was a paradox&mdash;intensely private but using his fame to promote worthy causes, a womanizer who clung to his childhood friends and animals. He was one of the most fiercely independent stars ever. In this book, acclaimed biographer Patricia Bosworth peels away Brando&rsquo;s many layers, revealing the struggles, triumphs, and relentless ambition that transformed the irrepressible farm boy from Nebraska into a legend of American cinema.</div><DIV>&#160;</div></div>
