“Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me.”
Marlon Brando’s bisexuality was not a secret in the Broadway community or in Hollywood.
Brando was a tough guy who was also a ravishing beauty. He was expelled high school for riding a motorcycle through the hallways. He came to the rescue of a skinny kid being bullied by schoolmates, picked him up, threw his arm around him & stated: “I’m your new best friend.”
Brando’s love affair with Wally Cox would last a lifetime & beyond. After Cox died in 1973, Brando kept the ashes for safekeeping. On Brando’s death in 2004, in accordance with his wishes, the ashes of Cox & Brando were mixed together & scattered in Death Valley ceremony.
Brando possessed of an insatiable libido, among his main courses: Burt Lancaster, Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Leonard Bernstein, Noël Coward, Clifford Odets, Stephen Rutledge,Tyrone Power, Montgomery Clift, James Dean & Rock Hudson, & for dessert: Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, Shelley Winters, Ava Gardner, Gloria Vanderbilt, Hedy Lamarr, Tallulah Bankhead, Ingrid Bergman, & Edith Piaf.
“If Wally Cox had been a woman, I would have married him and we would have lived happily ever after.”
