Yes he was! And I loved all of his films. You portray him very well. In fact recently I watched The Godfather for the 6th time. I had forgotten his marble mouth talk and his persona. I’m now publishing a book on an Italian crime family… and I needed to see him again… he’s absolutely a treat, and so is this poem!
Best to you

An amazing actor in pretty much everything he did. There is such a mystique to the man even today, despite his passing a few years back. He is one of the all time greats and his talent will never be forgot. Very nice poem Fran.

Okay, here's one I know. Brando is the kind of actor that plays a role, such as the Godfather, & even tho it's a long-lived series franchise, still often watched, nobody that came after could compare to Brando. (Even DeNiro, who I've got on a huge pedestal!) Brando completely monopolized the mystique of that movie franchise. Great depiction of an irresistible one-of-a-kind (((HUGS)))

[Fran Marie]

yes..Brando was a hard act
to follow..definitely one of best
of all time..thanks Margie
