Marlon Brando's unique qualities have been a hot subject for Hollywood gossip
By Tricia Hurst
FOR the past year or so, Hollywood has come up time and again with the "I don't give a darn what anyone thinks" — back-to-nature type of actor. This variety is not to be confused with the "watch me flex my biceps" specimen. Not that the former don't possess the required physical measurements. They're just not interested in flexing the muscles.
Ever since movies began, the public has latched on to a certain type of actor, subject to change as the years skipped by. After Valentino, there was the "hygienic" or Rudy Vallee period; then the "ugly brute-dame beating" period as typified by Gable and Cagney; and then the "fragile trend" which introduced Sinatra as the popular lover. ( This seemed to bring out the mother instinct in American womanhood.) From there, we progressed to the healthy postWar appreciation of the "boy-next-door" type which included Van Johnson and Glenn Ford. (/ like to think of this as the pasteurized period.) After that followed the Robert Mitchum or "subtle evil stage," only to be topped by Mr. Ezio Pinza who started the trend towards the "middle-aged, understanding variety."
Then, a year or so ago, we progressed to the "I don't give a dam what anyone thinks" hero and, as far as I know, we are still keeping him at the top of popularity and box-office polls.
The unusual factor about these current "individual" heroes is that they have followed no set rules for gaining the public eye; on the contrary, they have done everything possible to avoid attention. Many will disagree with me by saying that the quickest way to get the limelight is to pretend it's the last thing in the world you want, but I am willing to make any bets and take odds as far as one young man is concerned.
