Did Brando and Brynner get along well?


Just curious

reply

If memory serves, Janet Margolin did an interview with People Magazine right around the time she made Last Embrace (1979). In it, she mentions that all through the making of Morituri Brando and Brynner were "doing horrible things to each other" ... or something to that effect.

well brando says nice things about Brynner in his auto bio...so they were decent with each other

"Im just a bum sitting in a motor home on a film set, BRANDO said, and they come looking for ZEUS".

In Peter Manso's book about Brando, and also in Yul Brynner's son's book about Yul, it is said that they agreed not to "lock horns" with each other if possible. Brando had worked with Yul Brynner's first wife in "Truckline Cafe" years earlier so they were acquainted before "Morituri." Rock Brynner says nothing about them doing anything awful to each other.

"You think I was telling you the truth? Maybe...maybe."

Brando was supposed to be bi-sexual. I wonder what awful meant.

He wasn't bisexual; that's a myth created by pathetic gossiping gays. Read Brando's autobiography and it's clear that he was squarely into women. He even shares the story of a guy coming on to him when he worked on Broadway as a young man wherein he didn't hesitate to slug the dude (lol).
