 Screen Legend Marlon Brando dies. | |
Screen legend Marlon Brando, famous for his roles in On the Waterfront and The Godfather, has died aged 80 in a Los Angeles hospital, his lawyer has said.
Brando, who had been ill for some time, was regarded as one of the pivotal actors of the post-war period.
He starred in more than 40 films, including Apocalypse Now, and won two best actor Oscars.
He is perhaps best known for his role as mafia leader Don Corleone in the 1972 classic The Godfather.
Brando's lawyer, David J Seeley, said the cause of death was being withheld and added that the actor "was a very private man". |
