Marlon Brando Loved Cue Cards

The late great thespian Richard Harris was a notorious party boy and a bit of a troublemaker in his younger days. He acted with some of stage and screen’s finest, including the guy a lot of people call the best of the best, Marlon Brando.

While doing some research on Harris, I found a clip from an interview he did on the Brit chat show Parkinson back in the 70s. During it, he had some interesting things to say about Brando’s signature acting style. Harris doesn’t really trash Brando, but he does question his memory skills.

So, Brando had a fondness for cue cards. Oh well. It didn’t seem to hurt his career much, but it does make for an amusing anecdote, especially when Harris is the one telling it.
