One of the most revered American performers of all time, Marlon Brando continues to be. Marlon first gained notoriety in the 1950s and remained active until his passing from pulmonary fibrosis in 2004. He is best known for his appearances in A Streetcar Named Desire and The Godfather, both of which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Marlon died at the age of 80, but his influence on cinema continues to this day. However, Marlon’s reputation is tumultuous largely because of his problematic and tumultuous personal life.

In his lifetime, Brando was married three times. In 1957, he married actress Anna Kashfi for the first time. Christian Brando was born to the couple in 1958, but they divorced in 1959. After that, Marlon married Movita Castaneda in 1960, but according to a 1968 Philadelphia Daily News clipping, she was “the wife he never claimed he had” until he was compelled to testify in a 1961 court case with Anna Kashfi. Because Movita’s first marriage was still going strong, Brando was successful in getting an annulment that year. Miko Brando, who was born in 1961, and Rebecca Brando were Marlon and Movita’s joint offspring (born 1966).
