George Englund got to know Brando when they were both aspiring young actors. Hitting it off, they became best friends for life and George was to remain a close confidant from whom Brando sought frank advice on everything that went on in his complicated life. Marlon Brando never authorised an official biographer and this memoir is the only one providing an upclose and personal view. An actor emerges who was beautiful in every way-driven by his instinctive talent to break new ground, athletic, muscular, seductive, intelligent and generous-yet also hugely self-destructive.
