Marlon
Brando (April 3, 1924
– July 1, 2004) was
an Oscar winning
American actor who is
widely regarded as one
of the greatest film
actors of the twentieth
century. He brought the
techniques of either the
Stanislavski System or
method acting (commonly
mistaken for the same
acting technique) to
prominence in the films
A Streetcar Named Desire
and On the Waterfront,
both directed by Elia
Kazan in the early
1950s. His acting style,
combined with his public
persona as an outsider
uninterested in the
Hollywood of the early
1950s, had a profound
effect on a generation
of actors, including
James Dean, Paul Newman,
Robert De Niro, Al
Pacino, Sean Penn, and
especially Johnny Depp,
who was considered his
protege.
On
July 1, 2004, Marlon
Brando died at the age
of 80.
