Marlon Brando dead???
 
A station in Phoenix is saying on their website that Marlon Brando has died: http://www.kpho.com/Global/story.asp...3&nav=23KtOOSA

Now, since none of the major sources are reporting this, it seems to be a hack or a mistake. However, the following was posted on the newsgroup alt.obituaries:


...it's no hack. I just called the news department at KPHO-TV in Phoenix and they claim a source close to Brando tipped off a reporter there, and the major news organisations are holding off of the story until Brando's family makes a statement...
We'll see.

I heard this on another forum a little while ago (same news source).

Hope it's not true.

Big Quasimodo 07-02-04 07:57 AM

While I too hope it is not true, it sure as hell wouldn't be surprising....

Groucho 07-02-04 08:06 AM

First Pauly Shore, next Marlon Brando? Who will complete the triumvirate of Great Dead Actors this week?

warcp 07-02-04 08:33 AM

Yup confirmed. I think...

davejt1 07-02-04 08:44 AM

The only story that I had heard about him yesterday was that he was bankrupt and living in some small one room apartment or something. They said that he hid his two Oscars so the creditors couldn't find them. Hmmmm. Weird.

Well, I can't argue with sound logic like that!

Here's the link to the "story" on KPHO. I haven't seen it on CNN or MSN

I'll believe it when the New York Times says it's so.

Brain Stew 07-02-04 09:45 AM

Yep, no credible reports.

Parcher 07-02-04 09:57 AM

What the hell....

you all mourn him like it's absolutely sure he's dead, despite only ONE news source reporting so.

But they're using the same source that we've seen already.

Fox News is reporting it now, so it must be so.

Marlon Brando, age 80, dead in an LA hospital.

So is ABC.

Damn :(

Joe Molotov 07-02-04 10:33 AM

They just broke in on CBS to report it as well.

mdc3000 07-02-04 10:36 AM

A great actor... he will be missed... now to go spin On The Waterfront, The Godfather and Apocalypse Now.

Wooderson 07-02-04 10:38 AM

Is he the third of the three? Reagan, Charles and Brando

Since when was Pauly Shore considered a "Great Actor"? :lol:

And he's not dead btw.

R.I.P. Marlon Brando :(

Even though it had to happen, still a shame. A great actor, even if he never quite lived up to his potential in later years.

One more source.

LorenzoL 07-02-04 11:29 AM

RIP Brando.

chente 07-02-04 11:35 AM

Well, 80 is a good age to reach too. I'll definitely have to have a little mini-Brandofest this weekend. Great great actor.

conscience 07-02-04 12:15 PM

:(

Even though he wasn't really doing anything recently, he is still the actor who defined a generation. I don't care what anybody says.

digitalfreaknyc 07-02-04 12:24 PM

how many threads do we need about this? this is the third!

mookyman 07-02-04 12:25 PM

I agree. The media has no sense of history. Another great artist of the 20th century is gone. I too will be busy this weekend watching On The Waterfront, The Godfather, Last Tango in Paris, Superman, and Apocalypse Now.

conscience 07-02-04 12:57 PM

digitalfreaknyc, watched American Psycho lately?

R.I.P
one of the greatest.

CNN says that Larry King is going to have a special tonight.

OldBoy 07-02-04 01:34 PM

I can confirm that he is dead. That is sad.

Frank TJ Mackey 07-02-04 01:44 PM

he was just recently considering some project i forget the name of.....


He was one of my all-time favorites.


I'll never forget his brilliant performance in
Last Tango In Paris

Just saw the CNN Breaking News Report. Great actor. Great man.

rexinnih 07-02-04 02:27 PM

He will be missed. RIP.

conscience 07-02-04 02:33 PM

Oh. I forgot to mention that I was looking at his filmography over at IMDB just the other day and he basically knew he was going to die soon.

He wanted to be cremated and have his ashes spread on his private island where there are only two inhabitants.

true 07-02-04 02:47 PM

I´m very sad:(

Rest in Peace:(
