"Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of all time. rivaled only by the more theatrically oriented Laurence Olivier in terms of esteem. Unlike Olivier. who preferred the stage to the screen. Brando concentrated his talents on movies after bidding the Broadway stage adieu in 1949. a decision for which he was severely criticized when his star began to dim in the 1960s and he was excoriated for squandering his talents. No actor ever exerted such a profound influence on succeeding generations of actors as did Brando. "

"It was this period of 1951-54 that revolutionized American acting. spawning such imitators as James Dean who modeled his acting and even his lifestyle on his hero Brando - the young Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. After Brando. every up-and-coming star with true acting talent and a brooding. alienated quality would be hailed as the "New Brando. such as Warren Beatty in Kazan's Splendor in the Grass (1961). "We are all Brando's children. Jack Nicholson pointed out in 1972. "He gave us our freedom. " He was truly "The Godfather" of American acting - and he was just 30 years old. "

"Before he became famous. Brando cruised the streets of NYC on his bike. and in the coming decades. whenever his fame started to feel oppressive. he?ˆ™d get on his motorcyle and simply head out into the Southwest. riding through the desert for miles on end. "

?ˆ?It still pleases me to be awake during the dark. early hours before morning when everyone else is still asleep. I?ˆ™ve been that way since I first moved to New York. I do my best thinking and writing then. During those early years in New York. I often got on my motorcycle in the middle of the night and went for a ride?ˆ“anyplace. There wasn?ˆ™t much crime in the city then. and if you owned a motorcycle. you left it outside your apartment and in the morning it was still there. It was wonderful on summer nights to cruise around the city at one. two. or three A. M. wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a girl on the seat behind me. If I didn?ˆ™t start out with one. I?ˆ™d find one. ?ˆ? -Marlon Brando
