Marlon Brando (1924-2004) is an icon in the history of American cinema. When he passed away in 2004, The New York Times remembered "the rebellious prodigy who electrified a generation and forever transformed the art of screen acting... a truly revolutionary presence". From his beginnings in A Streetcar Named Desire (195I) to his mythic performances in The Godfather (1972) and Apocalypse Now (1979), Brando, who worked with such famous film stars as Elizabeth Taylor and Al Pacino, and such leading directors as Elia Kazan, John Huston and Francis Ford Coppola, has become a benchmark for other actors.

Anatomy of an Actor titles are comprehensive
studies on the craft of the world's greatest
actors, through the analysis of ten of their most
iconic roles. The authors examine why and
how these famous actors have become some
of the most respected and influential in the film
world. Each title is divided into ten chapters,
each one dedicated to a specific role, and is fully
documented with film stills, set photographs,
and film sequences. This innovative and beautiful
series on actors is accessible to enthusiastic
movie-goers as well as serious cinephiles, fans,
and those who want to become actors.
