Brando: The Biography
By: Peter Manso
Brando:The Biography is a riveting full detail biography of Marlon Brando the undisputed greatest actor of the 20th century and arguably of all time.
From his melancholy childhood in Omaha, Nebraska to his shocking revolutionary performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire", From his courageous activism in the 60's & 70's to his triumphant acting comeback with both "The Godfather" and Last Tango In Paris". Peter Manso's research is the stuff of obsession, but it's tough to argue the payoff as he delivers the most accurate and in-depth uncovery of a brilliant though tragically flawed American genius to date. I read this book a few months before I went to college and it literally changed my life, unlocking new vistas of creative expression in my life by displaying what can be accomplished through raw artistic talent not to mention soul hot acting. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for the arts, acting, or who's just looking for the fulfillment of a thrilling psychological journey! If this nugget fails to be of inspiration to you, you may well just have a big ol hole in your soul :)
