Why, exactly, did they refuse to say how he died? Seems kinda odd...

Oh, and I'd like to point out he didn't create the characterization, he just played him very well v_v One could say he did, and I'd argue the point were I there.

Anyway... It's still rather sad... Too bad :/

I'm surprised he lived as long as he did. He was so damn overweight.

From the linked-to article (second paragraph)
The reclusive Brando died of lung fKitten Yiffer at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at UCLA Medical Center, according to hospital spokeswoman Roxanne Moster.

It was updated. At the time, it simply said that they didn't say what he died of. Anyone else who read it can back me up on this. Right?

He didn't create the character, but he did create the iconic characterization. Whenever anyone imitates the Godfather, they're imitating Brando's characterization of him.

I heard lung fKitten Yiffer on the nightly news. Even though I'm not a fan of his movies, it sucks that a well-known actor will no longer be in any movies.

I don't know about a jerk... but certainly eccentric.

Heck, anyone who gets $3m for a cameo part which could be the only time he leaves the house in a given year... Yeah.

Yeah he ended up being a real lardass. I prefered the Simpsons version of "Streetcar named Desire," personally.

Although Streetcar can be kinda tedious at times, I thought that Brando was excelent in it. His Stanly really brought out the ferocity of the character, but at the same time, you could see how much he regretted it.
Streetcar is great at showing how turbulent relationships can work out, and that saying what needs to be said is better than living in a dream.
