Marlon Brando, Jr., was an American stage and film actor best known for his visceral, melancholy roles. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska, on April 3, 1924, and passed away in Los Angeles, California, on July 1, 2004.
The most well-known method actor, Brando rejected traditional theatrical training with his slurred, mumbling style. He was one of the best performers of his generation as a result of his sincere and passionate performances.
Brando was raised in Nebraska, California, and Illinois as the son of a salesman and an actress. Following his expulsion from the Shattuck Military Academy in Faribault, Minnesota, for disobedience, he relocated to New York City in 1943 and enrolled in Stella Adler’s acting classes at the Dramatic Workshop.
He made his stage debut in the 1944 Workshop production of Gerhart Hauptmann’s Hannele playing Jesus Christ. He made his Broadway debut in the drama I Remember Mama the following year.
After that play’s successful two-year run, Brando featured in Maxwell Anderson’s Truckline Cafe, George Bernard Shaw’s Candida, and Ben Hecht’s A Flag Is Born (all in 1946), gaining him the reputation of “Broadway’s most promising actor” in the eyes of New York critics.
He rose to notoriety on the stage in 1947 thanks to his incredibly harsh and deeply felt performance as Stanley Kowalski in the Elia Kazan-directed adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire (1947).
