• Marlon Brando (1924-2004) is considered to be one of the greatest and most influential actors of the 20th century. His most notable films include A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now.

  In April 2009, the gossip blog L.A. Rag Mag published a notorious photo appearing to show Brando performing fellatio on another man. According to the 2006 book Brando Unzipped: A Revisionist and Very Private Look at America's Greatest Actor, the other man in the photo is Brando's friend, the comedian Wally Cox.Gawker: Internet Keeps Falling in Love Brando's Fellatio Pic (April 15, 2009) The book claims that Brando had confirmed the photo's authenticity at one time, but maintained "It was only done as a joke at a party—it's not to be taken seriously."Gawker: Internet Keeps Falling in Love Brando's Fellatio Pic (April 15, 2009)
