This is positive film that can be viewed with a backlight source without having to invert the image. As with original negatives, it can be used to produce high-quality photographic prints (no print is included with this item though). This is one of a large number of candid, red carpet and live performance celebrity photos, slides and negatives from the archive of long-time celebrity photographer Nancy Barr-Brandon that we will be listing over the coming months. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to minor corner and edge wear, but see scans for further details including condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual vintage photograph, slide or negative being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends.
BIO
:
Marlon Brando was born in 924 in Omaha, NE and died in 2004 in Los Angeles, CA. Brando was an American actor, film director, and activist. He is credited with helping to popularize the Stanislavski system of acting. A cultural icon, Brando is most famous for his Academy Award-winning performances as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront (954) and Vito Corleone in The Godfather (972), as well as influential performances in A Streetcar Named Desire (95), Viva Zapata! (952), Julius Caesar (953), The Wild One (953), Reflections in a Golden Eye (967), Last Tango in Paris (972), and Apocalypse Now (979). Brando was also an activist, supporting many causes, notably the African-American Civil Rights Movement and various American Indian Movements. He initially gained acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for reprising the role of Stanley Kowalski in the 95 film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire, a role which he had originated successfully on Broadway. He received further praise for his performance as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront (954), and his portrayal of the rebel motorcycle gang leader Johnny Strabler in The Wild One (953) proved to be a lasting image in popular culture. Brando was nominated for the Academy Award for playing Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata!; Mark Antony in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 953 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; and as Air Force Major Lloyd Gruver in Sayonara (957), an adaption of James Michener's 954 novel. Brando was included in a list of Top Ten Money Making Stars three times in the decade, coming in at number 0 in 954, number 6 in 955, and number 4 in 958. The 960s proved to be a fallow decade for Brando. He directed and starred in the cult western film One-Eyed Jacks, a critical and commercial flop, after which he delivered a series of box-office failures, beginning with the 962 film adaptation of the novel Mutiny on the Bounty. After 0 years, during which he did not appear in a successful film, he won his second Academy Award for playing Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, a role critics consider among his greatest. The Godfather was then one of the most commercially successful films of all time. Together with his Oscar-nominated performance in Last Tango in Paris, Brando became re-established in the ranks of top box-office stars, placing him at number 6 and number 0 in Top 0 Money Making Stars poll in 972 and 973, respectively. Brando took a four-year hiatus before appearing in The Missouri Breaks (976). After this, he was content with being a highly paid character actor in parts that were glorified cameos, such as in Superman (978) and The Formula (980), before taking a nine-year break from motion pictures. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Brando was paid a record .7 million ( million in inflation-adjusted dollars) and .75% of the gross profits for 3 days work on Superman. He finished out the decade of the 970s with his controversial performance as Colonel Kurtz in another Coppola film, Apocalypse Now, a box-office hit for which he was highly paid and which helped finance his career layoff during the 980s. Brando was ranked by the American Film Institute as the fourth-greatest movie star among male movie stars whose screen debuts occurred in or before 950. Brando was one of only three professional actors, along with Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe, named in 999 by Time magazine as one of its 00 Most Important People of the Century. He died on July , 2004 of respiratory failure at 80.
