#11  Brando is an old skool Moonbat, so expect the press to slobber all over him for the next week or so.

His most famous act of rebellion was his refusal in 1973 to accept the best actor Oscar for "The Godfather." Instead, he sent a woman who called herself Sasheen Littlefeather to read a diatribe about Hollywood's treatment of Native Americans.

It was roundly booed.


Bio of both a great actor and "great" LLL

#10  Maybe someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse and just for kicks, he decided to try refusing it.

Not by anyone with half a brain. Must have been someone in Hollywood.

The cause of death is still unknown.
He was 80 years old and the size of a whale for at least a couple of decades.

What, you think ninjas got him?

Sonny: How's Paulie?
Clemenza: Oh, Paulie... won't see him no more.

We'll miss you, Don Corleone.
