Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando, the eccentric star of “The Godfather” who redefined the image of a Hollywood leading man through acclaimed method performances as street-tough but emotionally raw characters, died at age 80. The reclusive Brando died of lung failure Thursday at UCLA Medical Center, according to Roxanne Moster, spokeswoman for the hospital.
