Marlon Brando
In his younger years Marlon Brando was a major
heart-throb and among his best roles is his portrayal as Stanley Kowalski
in A Streetcar Named Desire and Terry Malloy in On The Waterfront,
both directed by Elia Kazan in the early 1950s. Later, his
greatest role was, perhaps, his Academy Award-winning performance
as Vito Corleone in The Godfather, but his portrayal of Colonel
Walter Kurtz in Apocalypse Now was highly acclaimed and both
films were directed by Francis Ford Coppola. But I have to
mention his Academy Award-nominated performance as Paul in
Last Tango in Paris, although it is clear now that Maria Schneider
who played Jeanne felt abused by the director, Bernardo Bertolucci,
and the film is sexually gratuitous, Marlon Brando's character,
Paul, leaves a distinctive taste in the mouth that isn't at
all pleasant, but is testimony to the power of Brando's acting...

The Hollywood Movie History
The greats of the silent movie period included
Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live
on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps
the most successful of the stars who began their career in the
silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies.
The western film genre has been the birth place for many great
film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster
movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title
greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought
Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and
a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien
Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's
Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in
High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts
in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances
I have experience by women in the movies...
