Ex-Bohemian, Brando Now Concientious Oscar Winner
Hollywood — (UUP). The morning after Marlon Brando won his Oscar he got up at 7 o'clock, went to work at Goldwyn studio and declared soberly. "This award is a serious business."
A short five years ago, Mr. Brando arrived in Hollywood with three changes of T-shirts, a pair of levis, blue jeans, a generally unconventional behavior.
But today, Mr. Brando, after four tries at the Oscar bat, scored a homerun and was accepting congratulations for his academy award with dignity and humility.
All night long Wednesday the phone rang at the actor's simple, cliff-hanging home in the Hollywood hills. Most of the calls were congratulations from friends; one fan phoned from London. He stopped counting the telegrams after they passed 200. One was from the chamber of commerce in his home town in Libertyville, Ill.
When he arrived on the set of his current picture. "Guys and Dolls," at 7:45, crew members stepped forward to shake his hand. One electrician held Mr. Brando's hand above his head and shouted, "The champ!" Mr. Brando appeared pleased by flowers he found in his dressing room from his producer, Samuel Goldwyn. The card read, "justice, at last."
Yet in 1949 Mr. Brando was a backside-scrapping actor from Greenwich Village who wasn't sure he wanted to be an actor.
He was imported to Hollywood to star in "The Men" after his stage success in "A Streetcar Named Desire." He astonished the movie colony by not squeezing into the Hollywood mold.
He lived in suburban Eagle Rock with his grandmother and slept on the living room couch. He drove his aunt's 10-year-old car and stayed away from nightclubs. When he dated at all the girls were secretaries, and he took them to an amusement park.
He adopted a raccoon. He went in for practical jokes such as nailling fellow actors shut in their dressing rooms.
Then a year ago, Mr. Brando says, he decided he wanted to really be an actor.
"I thought to myself, I had to do something in life. Might as well act," he explains.
Mr. Brando won't say, but the death of his mother at the time may have had an influence. So might have his psychoanalysis. But, at any rate, his friends noticed a change.
The one-time Bohemian took up homburg hats, natty suits and tuxedoes. He became polite and soft-spoken. He discarded his T-shirts and motorcycle; he even got engaged (to Josiane Berenger). When the academy award arrived Wednesday night, the former raccoon owner who will be 31 Sunday lived up to the dignity of the award.
Friends said he has dropped the "Stanley Kowalski" character at last and is behaving the way he really is—a likeable, casual and intelligent actor who likes to play the bongo drums now and then.
Today a photographer asked Mr. Brando to pose kissing his Oscar while two chorus girls on his movie set kissed him. But Brando shook his head and said, "This Oscar is serious; let's keep it that way."
The Red Cross disaster service provided rehabilitation aid to an average of one family every 75 minutes in 1954.
