American actor Marlon Brando Jr. lived from April 3, 1924, to July 1, 2004. He was recognized as one of the most significant actors of the 20th century and won numerous awards over the course of his six-decade career, including three British Academy Film Awards, two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and one Cannes Film Festival Award.
Brando’s career experienced a decline in popularity and critical acclaim in the 1960s. After starring in and directing the critically and financially disastrous cult western One-Eyed Jacks, he went on to produce a string of significant box office duds, starting with Mutiny on the Bounty (1962).
He consented to do a screen test for the role of Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather after 10 years of underperformance (1972).
