Thread Name: Obit: Marlon Brando
Subject: RE: Obit: Marlon Brando
He was, to me, a giant of an actor---and also a true eccentric. As you may know he owned (lived on) an island in the the S. Pacific. True story now: the is and NPR program "Wait Wait--Don't Tell Me". A quiz program about current events and trivia.   One query a while back was about Brando---and what he insisted guests to his island leave behind when they leave---you had 3 choices. A written opinion of the place, a blood stample, or a stool sample. I was amazed---he insisted for who know what reason ------A stool sample.

Oh well, still a great actor and so I guess eccentricity came with the territory.

PS If you visit me I will just ask for a written critique---nothing else.   Then again I am not a giant in the entertainment field.
