No one could do "sensation, horror, and shock" like Vincent Price!

30 Days of Classic Queer Hollywood

Day 25: Marlon Brando (1924 - 2004)

"Homosexuality is so much in fashion, it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences, and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me." - Brando, 1976

Marlon Brando was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors of the 20th century. His career spanned six decades, during which he was recognized with two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, one Cannes Film Festival Award, and three BAFTAs.

Brando is perhaps best known for his roles as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), Vito Corleone in The Godfather (1972), and Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (1979). He was one of the first successful method actors in Hollywood and is credited with bringing the Stanislavski system of acting to mainstream audiences.

Brando was a bisexual man. He had relationships with many men and women throughout his life, fathering 11 children.

His close friendship with actor Wally Cox led to many rumors about them being in a romantic relationship. Brando was quoted as saying, "If Wally had been a woman, I would have married him and we would have lived happily ever after." Brando reportedly kept Cox's ashes in his bedroom and conversed with him when falling asleep. Writer Beauregard Houston-Montgomery claims that when Brando was high, he once told him that Wally Cox had been the love of his life.
