Brando's Little Black Book:
In an astonishing new biography, BRANDO UNZIPPED, Darwin Porter paints an extraordinarily detailed
portrait of Brando, particularly about his early years, that is as blunt, uncompromising, and X-rated as the
man himself.
It is nearly impossible to explain to those who have only seen Brando as The Godfather in 1972, or as a
bloated behemoth in his last films, how his uninhibited carnality and skin-thight jeans shocked and
astonished audiences in the late '40s and early '50s. He was the living, breathing embodiment of sexual
desire in an era when movie censors even forbade the word 'virgin' on-screen.
"I don't think I was constructed to be monogamous," Brando once declared. "I don't think it's in the nature
of ANY man to be monogamous. Sex is the primal force of our and every other species."

Yummy. That sums up veteran entertainment reporter and biographer (of Howard Hughes and
Humphrey Bogart) Porter's titillatingly tabloidish account of Marlon Brando's eccentric, sex-centric
years. The author barely pauses to take a deep breath as he dishes - drawing on 50 years of
conversations with dozens of Brando's intimates - about the late, great actor's personal life.
As befits "unzipped," much of the book focuses on the bisexual Brando's many sexual partners, from his
World War II romance with playwright Clifford Odets, through his affairs with Stewart Granger, James
Dean, Montgomery Clift, and Rock Hudson just a few among the many men he's said to have
bedded, all the while squiring the great actresses of the 1940s and 1950s and 1960s, and marrying
and divorcing a couple of times. But there's way more to the biography than sex: Porter writes with an
insider's astuteness about the actor's movie career, critical passages that provide welcome depth.
But it's no exaggeration to report that practically every page discloses a fascinating homosexual tidbit -
about Liberace successfully seducing Dean, for example, but failing to seduce Brando. This is an
irresistibly flamboyant romp of a read.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
