In the middle of this melancholy day, my best friend Mitchell sent me a photo he took, with a message attached:
“Some people will last forever…”

great photos. I love the fact that it was both Brando and Monroe.
As far as I am concerned, Brando is immortal. At least in my heart, he will always have a space. He was such an unique individual–aside for being a great actor–his penchant for adventure (including having a lot of affairs–actually none others business), for rebelling against the convention and Hollywood establishment, for being radically frank (just naming any other actor out there who dares to offend anybody?)… All these may have hurt his life and his career, but I cannot think anybody else out there who is willing to be so daring to be himself.
His quote comes to mind, “I am myself and if I have to hit my head against a brick wall to remain true to myself, I will do it.”
Rest in peace, sweet prince.
