Marlon Brando
King of the rebel image, Marlon Brando first captured our imagination with his performance in Elia Kazan’s A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951. This film turned him into one of the pin-up actors who defined the 1950s. Marlon Brando was the embodiment of virility and masculinity, a man with many conquests to his name, both female and male. Brando is a sex symbol immortalised by cinema, a raw and sincere talent who had a life that was filled with passion and excess.
