Christian Devi Brando was an American actor who was the only child of actor Marlon Brando and his first wife, former actress Anna Kashfi. On May 16, 1990, Brando fatally shot Dag Drollet, the boyfriend of his half-sister Cheyenne, at his father’s Hollywood Hills home on Mulholland Drive.
Christian was shuttled back and forth between his mother and father. His parents became increasingly hostile and abusive toward each other, and a lengthy custody battle ensued. The 12-year custody battle and his mother’s uncontrollable temper as a result of her drug and alcohol abuse had a significant impact on young Christian. Marlon eventually gained custody of Christian, who was 13 at the time. Marlon had described his son as a “basket case of emotional disorder” at the time.
