Famous American actor Marlon Brando has violated U.S. laws for years, secretly recording phone conversations he had with friends and famous and influential partners. The actor left after his death a large collection of recordings of his phone conversations, according to contactmusic.com.
Film mogul Mike Medavoy, one of Brando’s estate executors, told the Globe newspaper: “Brando was famous for calling late at night and I think that he recorded almost all of his calls”. Lawyer Jeffrey Abrams, manager of Brando Enterprises – the company that deals with the protection of Brando’s legacy – is working with movie star’s heirs to gather all these records, together with letters and photos that fans have not seen before. Abrams said that Brando was a fan of new technologies and that he had phone records dating back to the 1950s.
Globe tabloid suggests that many Hollywood stars will tremble at the thought that these records will be made public because more secret data will be exposed. The records will be included in a retrospective exhibition and a book on Marlon Brando. California laws are prohibiting the civilians to record telephone conversations without permission of the other talking part.
Marlon Brando is one of the greatest film actors of the twentieth century. He was known mainly due to roles in the films “A Streetcar Named Desire” (1951) and “On the Waterfront” (1954), for which he received his first Oscar in 1955. His acting style, combined with public appearances as a Hollywood outsider in the 1950s and 1960s had a major influence on generations of actors that followed him. Subsequently, despite a certain label conferred to him, Brando played to the absolute superlative, setting a new standard in aesthetics, the role of Vito Corleone in the movie series dedicated by Francis Ford Coppola to a crime boss, “The Godfather “, for which he received the second Oscar of his career in 1973.
