When people think about Marlon Brando they think ofthe movie star; the hunk; the scandals. Susan L. Mizruchifinds the Brando others have missed: the man who collectedfour thousand books; the man who rewrote scripts,trimming his lines to make them sharper; the man who consciouslyused his body and employed the objects around himto create believable characters; the man who used his fameto foster Indian and civil rights. From Brando’s letters, audiotapes,and annotated screenplays and books—many neverbefore available—Mizruchi gives us a complex person whoseintelligence belies the high-school dropout. She shows howBrando’s embrace of foreign cultures and outsiders led to brilliantperformances in unusual roles—a gay man, an Asian,and a German soldier—to foster empathy on a global scaleand to test himself. In portraying a fuller Brando, Mizruchiportrays an even more fascinating man.
