Rita is so candid about everything concerning her time with Marlon. I respect her comfort with her honesty.

Ugh I love Rita, she's so beautiful and well-spoken. She seems like she really understood him, the good and the bad. Also I sure hope to age that gracefully.

I’m touched by Rita’s honesty, soul bearing and analysis of her relationship.

How can you not love Rita Moreno? She's so beautiful, so classy, so honest, succinct and insightful. Her eyes are just a pair of powerful magnets.

As someone who grew up with a single alcoholic mother and had a very dark childhood, it is very difficult to know how to be in a relationship and then be a parent when you have never seen it. I read a lot of books and even took parenting classes before I had kids. I was terrified of being a bad parent. I did much better as a parent than a spouse. I was never physically or verbally abusive. I just don’t trust adults so I wouldn’t really open up to people I dated or my spouse.

My mother who was very private with her emotions, feelings, etc. in keeping with her astrological sign of Cancer, born in 1925, married my father in 1946 and they stayed together all their lives. After my father died in 2002, she bravely continued on with life alone. The ONLY time I EVER saw her lose composure was when I asked her what she thought about Marlon Brando. Her reply was excitedly “ Oh my god! GORGEOUS!!” I was absolutely stunned to say the least! But, there it is… 😮

Rita Moreno's honesty and openness is amazing! Great actress-she was incredible as Anita in West Side Story!-she had declined to audition for it on Broadway because of nerves

God, that Mary Murphy is stunning in that scene...innocent, wide-eyed, and radiant. She is equally powerful to Marlon.

Physical beauty along with a difficult childhood leads to an interesting, often tragic life. My mother, single mother - 3 kids - was a knock out. Men were always coming around to take her out, make her smile - while I put myself to bed. I grew up hansom and became a male model, for a time. Forever I put beautiful women on a pedestal, and spent most of my life alone.

Like Streisand I fell in love with Marlon Brando when I was 13. I saw him in Mutiny on the Bounty and was instantly obsessed. My first in a long line of obsessive loves. I harangued my parents to let me see the movie again, but that wasn't enough. I memorized the soundtrack. I learned that Brando had loved the Tahitian actress Tarita who played Maimiti. So I learned how to Tahitian dance, which made me a big hit a few years later in the hippie times. I painted pictures of Tahitian women, adopted Paul Gauguin's palette, even loved the Mad Magazine takeoff of the movie which made big fun of Brando's affectations...and saw every Brando picture from then on. That was one obsession that paid off. Around 1980 in LA, some guy came into a crowded room exclaiming, "We were just at Nibler's and Marlon Brando was at a table with two gorgeous Eurasian chicks. God, what a pig. He's short and fat and old, and these babes were..." There were about twelve women standing around, saying "Really!! You saw Marlon Brando? Wow!" His friend chimed in with, again, how Brando was this little toad of a guy. Finally one woman cut him off. She said, "You don't get it, fool. He's Marlon F--cking Brando. It doesn't matter what he looks like. He can eat with his feet, he can be three feet tall and drool. He's Marlon F-cking Brando."

"behind every Great Man is a Woman , rolling her eyes" ~ Jim Carrey a very real and humbling thought .

For him to keep getting married and abusing these women and her, Rita Moreno, to keep wanting him and keep seeing him is kinda sad.

Brando in the early 50's was an Adonis!!

Thank you for sharing these amazing stories.

When the interviewer said "He brought that. He was the first who brought that to the screen, that passion" that was an undisputed fact. Marlon reinvented the whole concept of male acting and what it meant to be a hero in a film. And when I say this I put emphasis on the "Hero" which you dont see much now. We have characters, protagonists, avengers. But the role of a hero, the passion in The Man of a film. The masculinity he holds the charisma, intimidation & the aura he carries with himself while also having the perfect amount of vulnerability... Brando brought all that to the screen. He embodied the term hero and paved the way for decades worth of heroes to walk. Names like Pacino & De Niro wouldn't be all so recognisable if Brando haven't left a blueprint for millions of actors to build on.

I came here a marlon Brando fan and left a Rita Moreno fan

What an absolutely brilliant post!, very honest candid interviews, i'd love to see more

Wow, Mary Murphy was a total smokeshow! Like a hotter version of Donna Reed or the like. Even in the interview decades later she is still so beautiful. Some people just have those genes

The struggle took its bizarrest turn in 1972 when Kashfi effectively had her son kidnapped from school and taken to Mexico, for which she was later arrested. Reportedly, the town where the boy was taken was San Felipe, Baja, Mexico. This episode prompted the courts to grant Brando sole custody of Christian. No doubt the protracted custody battle had a profoundly negative affect on their unhappy son, who in 1991 was convicted of the manslaughter of his stepsister's boyfriend. He received a lengthy prison sentence.

Beautiful man!!! Man and women loved him... and Marlon loved both as well! I think he had children with every housekeeper he had. He was a very confused/troubled man. Sadly 😥

And even more tragic, the wonderful son, Christian, from the beautiful actress Anna Kashfi, suffered so much. And beautiful Hawaiian daughter, Cheyenne...suicide. His off spring were emotional trainwrecks. 😭

This was surprisingly honest. Both the good and the bad. Especially from Rita Moreno, who's also so intelligent she's a joy to listen to

Jean Simmons just gorgeous

I love Marlon with all of my heart

Anna Kashfi (real name Joan O'Callaghan) was born to a white Welsh mother and a white English/Irish father who worked in Calcutta, India. She mentions at 12:15 the "language barrier" between her and Brando--she was raised speaking English. She assumed an Indian identity to become and actress and to attract Brando. It worked, and when he found out her gigantic lie--split with her. Brando despised lies. And...Brando was wacky, I think we all know...but Anna was absolutely nuts--to the point where she lost custody of their son when he was a little boy, and she never regained custody of him--and this was the 1960s. Try reading her book "Brando for Breakfast" (which is unintelligible, even with a ghost writer) and you'll see for yourself. Also...she makes slip ups even in this brief interview. When asked about Brando bringing a young woman home while he was married to Kashfi, she starts off by saying she was "very pregnant" at the time, and just a minute later said that the young woman (France Nuyen) told her to not eat curry because Kashfi was breastfeeding.

Anna Kashfi's voice is so beautiful - so calm, so well-spoken, natural, and clear. Her voice reminds me of Josephine Baker's in her interviews in the sixties - a mix of old-school British English, and a far away feel; a confident humanity, and comforting calmness.

Tom Hardy should play Brando in a biopic.

'On the waterfront' was the movie that sealed my crush on Brando. The sweetness that you don't expect in the Terry character was captivating.

I love when these people say that they were 'in love with him" ...no you were in lust with him

Women loved Marlon, Marlon loved fried chicken

Exceptional content ... 💯

The Julius Caesar movie starring Marlon Brando should be required viewing in public schools . Just to see him in that movie was magic . I also loved one of his last movies , The Score . It's sad it didn't become a hit . It's usually playing in most of the free streaming sites .

Brando was everybody’s flame. He was and remains the best.

Mary Murphy was a living doll in her prime oh my gosh.

Love Marlon Brando, there’s a vulnerability about him that us women LOVE and he knew how to play into it well. He was such a beautiful, intelligent yet troubled man

0:25 Stage fright? Amazing to think of that, with so many singers without her talent going on stage. She is a wonder, a living legend. I grew up listening to "Stoney End" on my kitchen radio in the '70s.

Brando....is one of the best actors of all time...BUT he treated women "absolutely" terrible !

I remember reading somewhere that Marlon was writing an autobiography and called up Ursula Andress asking if they had ever slept together. Only Brando could get away with that.

Thank you💓

he certainly was gorgeous when he was younger... we all age and weight is a protection, it covers pain...

Brando had a crush on Breyers Ice Cream all his life too.

I didn’t realize Jiminy Glick was based on an actual person!

Mary Murphy kept her looks a long while.

Marlon Brando whistled at my mom as she exited and he entered an elevator in NYC, she told us kids.

As a little girl, I first saw him in "The Wild One" as my teenaged sisters were crazy about him. Young Burt Reynolds always reminded me of him. Both were handsome. However, I grew up mesmerized by Elvis!

One Eyed Jacks, is where I saw him first. What an underrated western movie and the story for the times. Appaloosa ' of 1966 is another of his unknown absolute gems. John Saxon was tremendous in that too. Just watch it.

Great video.

Well done. Very interesting

I always thought Barbra was a sexy woman. I had no idea Rita tried to kill herself. That's terrible. Damaged Guys are a puzzle girls want to fix, but can't, and end up getting hurt badly.

There was a poem in I think The Berkeley Barb published it. It was a take off on J. Alfred Prufrock and substituted Marlon Brando for Michelangelo. "In the room the women come and go speaking of Marlon Brando. It's stuck with me for low these many decades. Can't remember any of the rest of it.

A super human actor! The benchmark for other actors to aspire to. A beautiful being♥️♥️RIP terry Malloy.

He stood up for the American indian.How many Hollywood actors used their fame for good social causes?Not many.In this regard, he was a courageous man,way ahead of his times.

Marlon Brando documentary with his own words collected by himself in anticipation of a book or film. LISTEN TO ME MARLON, 2015. It tells his story as he would want plus archives from his friends. He was loved and idolized by women and men but he was a pure actor who gave true & honest portrayals of these characters & roles. He was damaged, hurt & wounded & in hiding it all he really showed his vulnerabilities. Everyone has a theory about him but watch that film, Listen To Me Marlon. Marilyn and Marlon had a warm relationship but it is not covered here, as close friends and professionals who could confide in each other.

The interviewer talking with Mary Murphy from 4:51, Skip E. Low, is generally considered to be the main model for Martin Short's Jiminy Glick. The similarity is clear as a bell here!

I did exactly the same with the Guys and Dolls music - still love singing along to it... I did'nt know it had always been a favourite with Barbra Streissen......

I shipped him so bad with Marylin Monroe because their both so damaged and used a lot of Women and Men as coping mechanisms. But I feel they could have healed together because they are so alike

Rita, we have that in common! I spent over 30 years going back and leaving and going back, with my ex-husband. We finally released each other, and within a short time, he passed away. After a time, I began to heal from much of the effects, and am still aware of some further healing. I gave it all to God, through prayer and re-leases it to Him. Some thing will probably remain, as a reminder.

Breyers coffee flavored ice cream is my all-time favorite!

Yes, he was the most beautiful man ever, and his intelligence was exceptional, and his talent was unlimited.

Master of perception. RIP. Mr Brando. Thank you.

One of the best actors ever. I don’t care if he was this or that. He was under scrutiny his entire life, but here I see a number of judges that criticize assuming they are perfect (unknowns).

Wow! Marlon Brando was smoking hot, there's no denying that. It's a tragedy that the disease of addiction, in many forms, was carried down through each generation to his own children. May they all RIP 🙏

It was the nose that made him perfect .

I loved ❤️ the interviewer.

Love Rita as well, a very beautiful woman indeed, he didn't deserve her!!!

He had an Absolutely Gorgeous Perfect Face, Amazing Features.

Love Rita! What an amazing woman!

Legend ❤️

Marlon Brando was not only handsome but, he was a sexiest movie star in the US of A; and he of course very talented actor.

Rite Murino is adorable! One of the classiest and beautiful actresses ever! I wish she had been in more movies so I could have seen more of her. May God Bless Her.

Stereotyped Hollywood men are funny indeed. I LOVE when he protected Native Americans though!

Shelley Winters...such a great lady and stage actress.

Rita Moreno is the best!!! ❤️ 💙 💜

He was gorgeous and the movie I saw him in was, The Godfather. Love his voice and wow what an amazing actor. Later I saw Guys and Dolls, Apocalypse, The Freshman which I was dying because is was almost like the Godfather but a comedy instead. And The Score and Don Juan Demarco plus Tango in Paris. One day I've got to see the movie again. Don't know why it was rated N17. But I'll give it a go again. I don't care what they say about Marlon Brando, he was one of my favorite actor and I've never been disappointed in any of his movies. He was truly the best ever. I just found out some of his movies are on Tubi 👍👍👍👍

Brando was brilliant as an actor but I think it depends on who you talk to about his personality. I’ve heard good and bad things about him. R.I.P. Marlon🌺

Oh yes! I agree with Barbra. Marlon was magnetic. He could be Mark Antony or Sky Masterson. He was the best actor ever and gorgeously seductive.

No, you will not see Marilyn talking about Brando, despite the image.

Love Rita Moreno, so down to earth. Hope I have the luck to meet her someday!

Guys and Dolls was a great show. Some friends liked it so much, we went to a show and sang the chorus of songs. Partly because there weren't a lot of other people there. And we knew the words

find hard to look at this man without disgust after I learned that he actually raped Maria Schneider on set of the Last Tango in Paris. It was agreed with the director that he would do it- to have an "authentic scene". Although they later said the act did not happen in full, the scene and how it was performed was profoundly humiliating for the actress. She has never get over it. He and the director refused to even apologies to her. That is all I needed to hear.

A gifted actor who looked great on screen. Very few can make those two claims. Almost overnight he was given the keys to the kingdom. In some ways like a lottery grand prize winner. He had no experience or family support on handling all of that properly. So it is natural that Brando colored outside the lines more than a few times. An endless line of beautiful women signed up for some quality time with Marlon. He is not a messiah. He is a human being with flaws like all of us. Let's forgive his trespasses.

I understand Rita’s love for him. You will do foolish things to be with him. He didn’t deserve her.

Lowered expectations by women back then. That’s why we need to stay empowered now in 2022. We deserve more in a partner.

That cat was cool!

Wow I’m 47, and now I understand why everyone talked about Marlon Brando my whole life!

He sizzles!!!!

Wow that's Mr. Kimball from Green Acres when he was young in On the Waterfront!

Stella!!!

Famous rock groupie Pam Des Barres told in her book how she got Brando’s phone number, called him and begged him to sleep with her - and how he nicely tried to talk her out of it, saying that in her mind she was really going after something else. She did feel there was a moment when he might have done it.

Marlon Brando was a very destructive person and trapped in a time when psycho therapy was not yet on todays level. He had a brutal and dangerous aura and I really do not understand all those women who were in love with a man like him: Girls avoid that kind of guys and please do not try to rescue them. They need professionell help not the love of women.

The person interviewing Mary Murphy is Skip E Lowe. He was the basis for Martin Short's Jiminy Glick character, which I could really see in this interview.

8:40 right here you can see where Martin Short got his inspiration for Jiminy Glick haha

It's strange that so many people seem to know nothing about animal magnetism. Brando from everything that women said about him obviously had that in spades as well as his classically handsomeness. I remember reading about a serial killer that people said looked like a silverback gorilla and even the female cops said he was sexually all but irresistible.

Whatever you may want to say about Brando, -- good or bad, --.he lived an amazing life and was a very unique and mesmerizing performer on stage and screen.

I always wondered where Martin Short got his Jiminy Glick character. Now I see that it had to be based, at least part, on Skip Lowe.

The man interviewing Mary Murphy is SO Jiminy Glick (Martin Short’s character), I wonder if he was an inspiriation.

Rita is gorgeous at 80, stunner when she was young.

Absolutely gorgeous man I saw him in on the water front! I was in my 30s it was the 90s

I probably would not have won any bike trophies if i had not seen this part as a kid.👍👍👍

I Just realized that Skip E. Lowe, the man interviewing Mary Murphy, must be the inspiration for Martin Short's character, Jiminy Glick.
