Marlon Brando's PA Writes Memoir: His Ladies, His Finances And More

If one film changed Marlon's life it was Mutiny On The Bounty, which was released in 1962.

It wasn't really the script that excited him but the Tahitian girls, including his co-star Tarita Teriipia.

My first meeting with Tarita was unusual to say the least. I had gone to gather clothes to be laundered from Marlon's bungalow.

Opening the door, I saw a naked Tarita tied to the bed.

As I reached to untie her, she said: 'No, no! Marlon kill me!'

I convinced Marlon to return to the bungalow and release her. What possessed him to tie her up? He proclaimed that she had to be punished for lying to him.

Back in Hollywood, he was back to his old ways: a different girl or two every day.

Around the time of the premiere of Mutiny, Tarita announced she was pregnant and wanted $750,000 for an abortion. Marlon refused and laughed. He would have loved to have had $750,000 at the time.

Michael Jackson was a frequent visitor of Marlon's too. Makes one wonder why.

SMH, so many dysfunctional people head to Hollywood to escape their lives but continue the madness in which they were raised. The generational curse Marlon handed down to his children was just pathetic. I wonder if any of them have broken it yet?

One thing hasn't changed though. There are groupies who still continue to try and get pregnant by male celebs so they can be supported the rest of their lives. Who can justify $35-40,000/month in child support?

Interesting story of a troubled soul.

Any psychotherapist can see Brando had a horrible relationship with his own mother that's why he treated females so bad.

Brando did not restrict himself to girls, or so the old rumors go. He did share a flat with gay Wally Cox for a time early in his career. Read the findadeath page on Brando for more nsfw details, if indeed that is Marlon not feeding a carrot to that horse. Either he did it as a joke or it's just a doppelganger.

Brando openly acknowledged his - in his words - "homosexual experiences" and he didn't care about what people thought or believed him to be. I believe he said something along the line of 'Label me however you like. I don't give a ----'.

I think that this aspect of his life is blown out of proportion, anytime you are friends with a gay people always assume that you are experimenting or something. I'm straight and have always hated this kind of thing occurring because of a gay friend here or there. Wally Cox & James Baldwin, c'mon, if you were Brando you could do a lot better IF you were going to do something like that, they were just friends. The only folks he was known to have been with were James Dean, Christian Marquand-(who he named his son after), and Montomery Clift. I'm sure there were others, but, he was straight.
