Mythoughts Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Twister, I believe one of the actors is Robert Taylor although he does look somewhat like Jimmy Stewart in that photo. I think one of the actresses is Maureen O'Hara - not too sure though. Where is our daily dose of Brando today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Lorretta Young and Norma Shearer were also pictured there. I guess Metsfan is taking a break today. We really do miss our daily dose of Brando. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi! For those who are curious, here are the MGM stars that are pictured in Metsfan's post, from the top, L-R: Herbert Marshall, Franchot Tone, Spencer Tracy, William Powell, Cary Grant, Janet Gaynor, Loretta Young, Maureen O'Sullivan, Norma Shearer, Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore and Frank Morgan.

movielover11 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thank you MissGoddess. I wasn't sure who some of them were either. I like Metsfans photos but I notice he doesn't say who everyone is and I'm not such a classic film buff - so I need a little help here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thanks for listing them, missgoddess. I felt sorry that you Brando fans missed photos of him so I ran another search. Hope you all enjoy them. By the way, I'm a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Metsfan - my day is complete now!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for more Brando photos. I love the one with the dog in it. Grace Kelley was a lucky lady in that first photo - getting a kiss from Brando. By the way - I'm a female who also loves the Mets!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 By the way - one of the Brando photos he's sitting with his sister Jocelyn Brando on the set of "The Ugly American". They do have striking resemblence, don't they? Who is in the photo with Brando and James Dean...there are two other women - one looks like Carolyn Jones, but I'm not sure - does anyone know?

metsfan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yes, both look alike. On that photo you mentioned, this is what the page says: "Rare photo of Brando and Movita at party with Dean. Photographer told me Brando was pointing at him to stop taking pictures. Photographers name was Jess Rand." I found this quote funny. Check out the pic and click on the writing to read it properly. http://www.wannabeswede.com/dfl_048_Marlon_Brando.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi Metsfan!!! Thanks again for the Brando photos and your messages explaining who everyone is in the photos. I looked at the link you posted - that was Brando learning some dance moves for "Guys and Dolls". I think the his broken nose did make him less perfect and people actually associated him with the familiar voice and nose. Do you think that he should have fixed his broken nose and did it help his career by making him look more unique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vecchiolarry Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi Metsfan, The Marlon Brando-James Dean photo has Brando with his arm around Movita (at least it looks like her) and the other woman may be Maria Gurdin, Natalie Woods mother. Dean was romancing Wood about that time. This is just a guess on my part as this was more than 50 years ago. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissGoddess Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 HI Metsfan---the Brando pix are nice but I was more excited to see Spencer Tracy and William Powell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Nice pictures of Brando - I liked his broken nose - it gave him character. I would love to see the famous photo with Brando, James Dean, Julie Harris on the set of East of Eden where Brando pretends to scratch his nose with his middle finger but is actually "flipping the bird". Brando was certainly a "character" for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 That was Movita in that photo? Goodness she looks like Marlon's mother - not his wife. How much older was she than Brando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movielover11 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Those last group of photos Metsfan posted - the photo of Brando with Greer Garson from Julius Caesar - he had really nice legs - but how much shorter can that Roman skirt be without showing any family jewels? LOL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 William Powell and Spencer Tracy made me smile too. Movielover, I don't think he felt comfortable with that costume. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythoughts Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Oh Movielover you naughty girl!!! I looked at the photo and agree - mighty short skirt on Brando - too bad nothing shows. I was also looking at the photo of Brando tenderly kissing Grace Kelley at the Oscar awards ceremony - I guess it's from 1955 when they both won for Best Actress and Best Actor - and from reading some of the posts, I was wondering if these two dropped their Oscars and went to bed after that photo was taken. They look mighty happy together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
