This is Marlon Brando's own story,and his reason for telling it is best revealed in his own words: "I have always considered my life a private affair and the business of no one beyond my family and those I love.Except for moral and political issues that aroused in me a desire to speak out,I have done my utmost throughout my life,for the sake of my children and myself,to remain silent.But now,in my seventieth year,I have decided to tell the story of my life as best I can,so that my children can separate the truth from the myths that others have created about me,as myths are created about everyone swept up in turbulent and distorting maelstrom of celebrity in our culture."
To date there have been over a dozen books written about Marlon Brando,and almost all of them have been inaccurate,based on hearsay, sensationalist or prurient in tone.Now,at last, fifty years after his first appearance onstage in New York City,the actor has told his life story,with the help of Robert Lindsey.
The result is an extraordinary book,at once a funny,moving,absorbing,ribald,angry,self-deprecating and completely frank account of the career,both on-screen and off,of the greatest actor of our time.Anyone who has ever enjoyed a Brando film will relish this book.
