Marlon Brando, An Actor Named DesireNovember 12, 2015

Ten years after his death, this film takes a fresh and unflinching look at the most legendary movie actor of all time, Marlon Brando. In the summer of 1943, a young 19-year-old man dressed simply in jeans, T-shirt and a red Fedora arrived in New York with just a few dollars in his pocket. His dream was to become the greatest actor in the world. Eleven years later, after appearing in films like: A Streetcar Named Desire, The Wild One, and On the Waterfront, he earned the title of ‘King of Actors’.
