Description

When people think about Marlon Brando, they think of the film star, the hunk and the scandals.

Susan L. Mizruchi finds the Brando others have missed: the man who collected four thousand books; the man who rewrote scripts, trimming his lines to make them sharper; the man who consciously used his body and employed the objects around him to create believable characters; the man who used his fame to foster American Indian and civil rights.

From Brando’s letters, audiotapes and annotated screenplays and books—many never before available—Mizruchi gives us a complex person whose intelligence belies the school dropout.

She shows how Brando’s embrace of foreign cultures and outsiders led to brilliant performances in unusual roles, fostering empathy on a global scale.

In portraying a fuller Brando, Mizruchi portrays a more fascinating man than the one we thought we knew.
