Author Description

In the November 9, 1957 issue of The New Yorker, Truman Capote published a controversial profile of Marlon Brando called "The Duke in His Domain". This revealing essay turned out to be one of the most intimate interviews ever granted by the reclusive actor. Capote, the consummate observer, dug into the psyche of the actor who had sky-rocketed to fame in the late 1940s and who, even today, remains an enigma to audiences around the world. This revealing interview is gloriously illuminated with 87 photographs in both duotone and color, spanning the entire career of Brando from A Streetcar Named Desire to Don Juan DeMarco. Here is Brando in the roles he claimed as his own in The Wild One, Viva Zapata, Julius Caesar, On the Waterfront, Sayonara, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Godfather, Last Tango in Paris and many others.
