RPW Exclusive Columnist: Marty Czekala
RPW Column: Doug Coby's "Super Excited" To Hop In A NASCAR Truck For Debut At Bristol
Column By: MARTY CZEKALA / RPW – BRISTOL, TN – Doug Coby's been having some fun this season outside of racing his NASCAR Whelen Modified.
First, he skipped a Tour race in Oswego, NY, to race in the inaugural SRX event in Stafford. A surprise to many in the racing world, it wasn't a surprise to the Modified community as he drove the "Rocky Balboa" car to victory lane.
His crew chief that night was Mike Beam, team president at GMS Racing. Following the win, Coby was given another opportunity to make his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut this Thursday night.
"We just bonded real quick. We started talking about racing, and [Beam] was really curious about my history in the Modified and how I came to be," Coby told Race Pro Weekly. "He knew I wanted to win the race. Just that mix of competitiveness and that overall desire formed the bond. I joked with him that if I went out there and won the race that he was gonna have to put me in one of the trucks. He stood true to his word and called me the day after the race and put me in the truck at Bristol. It was that much of a fairy tale story. Hopefully, another chapter is written."
In a 1-on-1 interview with RPW on September 4th, followed by a media availability on Tuesday, Coby talked about his excitement of making his first start in a NASCAR national series.
"It's a huge opportunity with GMS Racing to be able to hop in a truck. They have some of the best trucks out there. They're putting a really good truck together that's won in the series before. At my age, I knew if I was gonna get invited to do something in the Truck or Xfinity Series, I knew it had to be something good," Coby said.
GMS Racing is one of the teams that will be threats Thursday night as the team as a whole has won four of the last five Bristol races on Concrete. Coby is driving the same truck that has succeeded in recent years at "Thunder Valley."
"They won in 2019 with Brett Moffitt driving the truck and again in 2020 with Sam Mayer. A little bit of pressure for me to go out there and perform. Obviously, they've had some great drivers in their equipment over the years. Having five trucks full-time in the series is something where they're able to share notes and make all the trucks better. It's evident with Sheldon winning the first two Playoff races," Coby commented.
Coby's first laps in the truck will be when the green flies at 9pm ET Thursday night, but Coby isn't getting any simulator or iRacing laps in. Coby isn't a big iRacer. With the race coming quick, the Chevy simulator has been busy as GMS continues their Playoff hunt with Sheldon Creed and Zane Smith.
"I got some in-car cameras from the team from the last couple of races they ran there so I can see stuff the drivers are doing," Coby explained. "The trucks are quite a bit slower than the Modifieds. I think that will help me just to slow things down a little bit and not have to hold my breath the whole time."
Coby's experience at Bristol includes eight Modified Tour races with four top fives, including a runner-up in 2017. He's yet to lead laps at "The Colosseum."
He expects the Truck to drive similar to the SRX car he raced in Stafford.
"The truck weighs about the same as the SRX car. It's got about the same power. The SRX car didn't feel a whole lot different from the Modified other than being on a super hard, smaller tire."
Even with no practice, Coby had a game plan for the 200 lap event.
"I'm gonna use the first 30-50 laps to feel it out and figure out what I'm doing out there, and hopefully, after we get tires and come up through the field a little bit, we can get racey."
Now that he starts 31st per the grid formula, that plan changes.
"I need to perform pretty quickly and try not to make mistakes. I need to move forward, and I'm not going out there for a Sunday drive. I need to be smart and know who I'm racing around and realize that I'm not driving a Modified," Coby commented.

Q: Is there an easier way of creating this table in kdb? I want this sort of layout for everyday of the year
time       area   disease   no._of_cases
----------------------------------------
2018.01.01 Spain  Influenza 46
2018.01.02 Spain  Influenza 46
2018.01.03 Spain  Influenza 41
2018.01.01 Spain  Cholera   -3
2018.01.02 Spain  Cholera   -1
2018.01.03 Spain  Cholera   -2
2018.01.01 London Influenza 55
2018.01.02 London Influenza 51
2018.01.03 London Influenza 55
2018.01.01 London Cholera   1

2018.01.01 France Cholera   -1
2018.01.02 France Cholera   -2
2018.01.03 France Cholera   3

So I have 2 diseases and they each have different no.of cases for each day for each different area for each month of the year
Below is an example of an area with two diseases and results for the number of cases for two months
Spain - Influenza
No.of cases in JAN:{floor [1339 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30
No.of cases in FEB:{floor [1261 % 28]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 28

Spain - Cholera
No.of cases in JAN:{floor [0 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30;
No.of cases in FEB:{floor [0 % 28]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 28;

This is an example for the month of JAN
times:2020.01.01 + til 3;
area:`Spain
disease1:`Influenza
disease2:`Cholera
no.of_cases1:{floor [1339 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30;
no.of_cases2:{floor [0 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30;

area2:`London
no.of_cases3:{floor [1583 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30;
no.of_cases4:{floor [0 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30;

area3:`France
no.of_cases5:{floor [1583 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30;
no.of_cases6:{floor [0 % 30]+first 1?-3+til 7} each til 30;

a:([]time:times;area:(count [times])# area;disease:count[times]#disease1;no._of_cases:count[times]# no.of_cases1)
b:([]time:times;area:(count [times])# area;disease:count[times]#disease2;no._of_cases:count[times]# no.of_cases2)

e:([]time:times;area:(count [times])# area3;disease:count[times]#disease1;no._of_cases:count[times]# no.of_cases5)
f:([]time:times;area:(count [times])# area3;disease:count[times]#disease2;no._of_cases:count[times]# no.of_cases6)

t:a,b,c,d,e,f

Is there an easier way of creating this table for everyday of the year?
This is an example of the table I want to convert to kdb.
             area        |Spain         |London              |France
____________________________________________________________________-
disease     |Month/year |2017  2018 ... | 2017   2018  ...   |2017 2018 ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Influenza   |Jan        |1     2        |                    |
            |Feb        |2     3        |                    |
            |....       |...
            |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Cholera     |Jan        |2      9
            |Feb        |1      2
            |...

A: If you're talking purely about how to fabricate the table, you can make use of cross:
q)update cases:count[i]?100 from cross/[(([]area:`Spain`London`France);([]disease:`Influenza`Cholera);([]time:2018.01.01+til 3))]
area   disease   time       cases
---------------------------------
Spain  Influenza 2018.01.01 2
Spain  Influenza 2018.01.02 39
Spain  Influenza 2018.01.03 64
Spain  Cholera   2018.01.01 49
...

However your cases column might need a little more logic involved in it, depending on your use-case

Q: Bound on $|f'(0)|$ of a holomorphic funtion in the unit disk Let $D \subset \mathbb{C}$ be the open unit disk, $f:D \to \mathbb{C}$ a holomorphic function and $d=\sup \{|f(z)-f(w)|:z,w\in D \}$. How can I show that $|f'(0)|\leq \frac{d}{2}$?
I tried using Schwarz's lemma on the function $g:D \to \mathbb{C}$ defined by $g(z)=\frac{f(z)-f(0)}{d}$, but I am only getting $|f'(0)|\leq d$.

A: By Cauchy's integral formula,
$$
f'(0) = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{|z|=r} \frac{f(z)}{z^2}\,dz = \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{|z|=r} \frac{-f(-z)}{z^2}\,dz,
$$
for any $r < 1$. Hence
$$
f'(0) = \frac12 \cdot \frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_{|z|=r} \frac{f(z)-f(-z)}{z^2}\,dz
$$
and consequently (by the standard estimation lemma)
$$
|f'(0)| \le \frac12 \cdot \frac{1}{2\pi} \cdot 2\pi r \cdot \max_{|z|=r}  \left|\frac{f(z)-f(-z)}{z^2} \right| \le \frac{d}{2r}.
$$
Let $r \nearrow 1$ to get the desired inequality.

Fatal Attraction: Viral Video Claims Covid Jabs Could Turn You Magnetic
by zenger.news July 4, 2021
NEW DELHI — Arvind Sonar, a 71-year-old roadside vendor in the Nashik city of India's western state of Maharashtra, was shocked to see things like spoon and coins getting stuck to his body after getting the vaccine shot in the first week of June.
His son, Jayant Sonar, had seen videos of people turning magnetic after taking the vaccine. When his parents got vaccinated, he decided to check.
"After they received their doses, things were getting stuck to my father's body, but not my mother's," Jayant told Zenger News.
"Initially, we thought this was because of moisture, but even after he took a bath, the magnetism was still there. We are still unsure whether this was because of the vaccine or something else. The good thing is that he is healthy and working properly. There is no change in that."
However, as the claim started going viral, the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti (MANS), an organization involved in debunking myths and superstitions, got active.
Deepak J. Girme, who has been an active member of MANS for 30 years, believes there is no truth in the claim that the vaccine can turn you magnetic.
"When you apply a little moisture to your body, or even if there is sweat, friction comes into play, and that's why spoons and other metallic things get stuck to your body," he told Zenger News.
"However, they won't be stuck for a long time, and as soon as the moisture goes away, they will fall."
Girme said some people even applied beeswax to their bodies.
"In few videos that we came across on YouTube, people even applied beeswax, which is non-shiny, and that's why things got stuck to their bodies," he said.
"People share these things and try to become viral on social media. And it's not only in India, across the world you can find such myths."
Even the Press Information Bureau, a government agency that disseminates information, debunked this claim. The website stated that there are no metal-based ingredients in the vaccine that could turn people magnetic.

In January 2021, as India started its inoculation drive, social media was filled with posts regarding myths, leading to vaccine hesitancy.
Mohammad Javed Khan, a 38-year-old video editor based in Sahibabad in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, says when the vaccines were made available, there was a rumor that men would get impotent after taking Covid-19 jabs.
"During the first vaccination drive, I was told by my friends that the vaccination could result in impotence among men. Therefore, I decided not to take it," he told Zenger News.
However, during the second wave, as the number of Covid-19 positive cases started increasing, he thought of taking the vaccine.
"I read up on the impotence claim and discovered that it was a myth. So, I have decided to get the vaccine when it is available," Khan told Zenger News.
The myths against vaccines have made it difficult for Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers, or rural healthcare workers, to convince people to get vaccinated.
Seema Kumar, a 35-year-old ASHA worker from Lathardeva Hoon village in Haridwar district of the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, says people start running away from her when they see her. She has been involved in the Covid inoculation drive since April 12.

"It is our duty to make sure that everyone in the village is vaccinated," she told Zenger News.
"However, people, especially from uneducated families, are not ready, as they believe they will die within two years after taking the vaccine. Many people even believe that they will catch severe fever and cold. Therefore, they are not ready to get vaccinated."
As an ASHA worker, Kumar has to go from door to door and make people aware of the benefits of vaccines.
In the small town of Nagina, in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, where Salman Saleem, a 24-year-old Jamia Millia Islamia student lives, there is a lack of trust in the administration. As many as 95,246 people live in Nagina, of which almost 70 percent are Muslims.
He has been trying hard to convince his mother to get vaccinated. However, he has failed in his attempts as his mother, Shagufta Anjum, a 45-year-old homemaker, thinks she will get a heart attack if she takes the Covid-19 jab.
"Her usual reply is: 'No one in our family has been inoculated yet, as everyone knows the drawbacks of it'," Saleem told Zenger News.

He says that since the government panel studying the vaccine's side effects confirmed the death of one person because of inoculation, her suspicion has grown stronger.
"After the CAA-NRC protest, many people from the Muslim community were arrested by the police. Therefore, people think that this vaccination drive is a mischievous way through which the administration is trying to harm them," he told Zenger News.
The National Register of Citizens (NRC) is a database of all the genuine citizens of the country. Currently, such a register exists only in the northeastern state of Assam. Still, as the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was passed on Dec. 12, 2019, talk about implementing NRC in the rest of the country became louder. The Muslim population feared that they would lose their citizenship. Large-scale protests erupted across the country in December 2019.
As the second wave of Coronavirus is fading away, with only 46,617 cases being recorded on July 2, the talks about the third wave have intensified. Vaccination in India has also picked up, with close to 279 million people receiving the first dose and close to 60 million people receiving the second dose until July 2.

This nickname comes from the 3rd Eleventh Hour episode. When deliberating on a name for the three of them, Justin goofily said "Tres Horny Boys" but immediately responded to the name with "nobody ever say that out loud ever again please." Sadly (for him at least), as Griffin explains, "everything you say on this show becomes canon."

Le Sage Derby est un fromage de Derby aromatisé à la sauge (sage en anglais) et produit dans le comté du Derbyshire en Angleterre qui lui donne son nom.

Le sage derby est un fromage doux au lait de vache, à pâte non cuite  et sans croûte. Il est traditionnellement verdi avec de la sauge hachée ajoutée au caillé avant qu'il ne soit pressé ce qui donne à ce fromage un goût d'herbes et des marbrures vertes caractéristiques. La sauge est parfois remplacée par du jus d'épinard ou de maïs vert et la pâte aromatisée avec de l'extrait de sauge incolore.

Production
La façon traditionnelle de fabrication du sage derby était de remplir partiellement le moule à fromage de Derby caillé, fraîchement blanchi et salé, puis d'ajouter une pincée de sauge fraîche et encore une autre couche de Derby caillé, blanchi et salé. Le fromage ensuite pressé est laissé s'affiner jusqu'à six mois. Parfois, la couche externe est saupoudrée de sauge pulvérisée.

Histoire
La production de sage derby commence en Angleterre au . Il était initialement fabriqué uniquement pour des festivités comme les moissons ou noël mais il est maintenant disponible toute l'année.

Q: Scrapy FormRequest can't handle complex dicts as formdata I am trying to provide formdata to a scrapy.FormRequest object. The formdata is a dict of the following structure:
{
  "param1": [
    {
      "paramA": "valueA",
      "paramB": "valueB"
    }
  ]
}

via equivalent to the following code, run in scrapy shell:
from scrapy import FormRequest

url = 'www.example.com'
method_post = 'POST'
formdata = <the above dict>

fr = FormRequest(url=url, method=method_post, formdata=formdata)

fetch(fr)

and in response I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/chhk/.local/share/virtualenvs/project/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scrapy/http/request/form.py", line 31, in __init__
    querystr = _urlencode(items, self.encoding)
  File "/Users/chhk/.local/share/virtualenvs/project/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scrapy/http/request/form.py", line 66, in _urlencode
    for k, vs in seq
  File "/Users/chhk/.local/share/virtualenvs/project/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scrapy/http/request/form.py", line 67, in <listcomp>

    'object, got %s' % type(text).__name__)
TypeError: to_bytes must receive a unicode, str or bytes object, got dict

I have tried a variety of solutions, including the whole thing as a string, with various escape characters, and variations on the dict to make it more agreeable, but none of the solutions that remove this error work for the request (I get a 400 response).
I know that the formdata and that everything else I am doing is correct, in that I have replicated it successfully in curl (formdata was provided via -d formdata.txt).
Is there a way around FormRequest's inability to deal with complex dict structures? Or am I missing something?

A: Instead of formdata you can try to use body parameter. Example:
FormRequest(url=url, method=method_post, body=json.dumps(formdata))

Jairamdas Daulatram (21 July 1891 – 1 March 1979) was an Indian political leader in the Indian independence movement. After India's independence, Daulatram served as the Governor of the Indian states of Bihar and later Assam.
2 Freedom struggle
3 Post-independence
4 Preservation of Sindhi literature
Jairamdas Daulatram was born into a Sindhi Hindu family in Karachi, Sindh, which was then part of the Bombay Presidency in British India on 21 July 1891.
His academic career was brilliant throughout. After taking his degree in law, he started a legal practice, but soon gave it up as it often led to conflict with his conscience. In 1915, Jairamsingh came into personal contact with Mahatma Gandhi, who had then returned from South Africa, and became his devoted follower. At the Amritsar session of the Indian National Congress in 1919, he worded Gandhi's resolution in such a way that it avoided an impending rift between Gandhi and his other Congress colleagues. Since then Gandhi came to repose great faith in him. Gandhi spoke of him as 'one of the greatest persons in India'. He compared him with pure gold saying : 'I swear by Jairamdas. Truer man I have not had the honour of meeting.' Jairamdas enjoyed the trust and affection of Mrs. Sarojini Naidu who described his as a 'Lamp in the Desert' because of his services in the Sindh, which was mostly a desert. His ties with Sardar Patel and Dr. Rajendra Prasad were also very close.
Freedom struggle
Jairamsingh Daulatram became a participant as an activist in the Home Rule Movement led by Annie Besant and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, demanding "Home Rule", or self-government and Dominion status for India within the British Empire. He also joined the Indian National Congress, which was the largest Indian political organisation. Daulatram was deeply influenced by the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, which advocated simple living, and a struggle for independence through ahimsa (non-violence) and satyagraha.[1] perhaps Gandhi's sweetest relations were with Jairamdas. At the Amritsar session of the Congress, 1919, acute differences had arisen on the reforms resolution between Gandhiji on the one hand and Tilak, C.R. Das and Mohammed Ali on the other. Recalled Gandhiji years later: ``Jairamdas, that cool- headed Sindhi, came to the rescue. He passed me a slip containing a suggestion and pleading for a compromise. I hardly knew him. Something in his eyes and face captivated me. l read the suggestion. It was good. I passed it on to Deshbandhu. "Yes, if my party Will accept it" was his response. Lokmanya said, "I don't want to see it. If Das has approved, it is good enough for me.' Malaviyaji (who was presiding anxiously) overheard it, snatched the paper from my hands and, amid deafening cheers, announced that a compromise had been arrived at."
When Gandhiji was launching the Salt March in 1930, he wrote to Jairamdas, who was then member of the Bombay Legislative Council: ``I have taken charge of the Committee for Boycott of Foreign Cloth. I must have a whole-time secretary, if that thing is to work. And I can think of nobody so suitable like you. Jairamsingh immediately resigned his seat, took up the new charge, and made a tremendous success of the boycott of foreign cloth.
Daulatram participated in the Non-cooperation movement (1920–1922), agitating against British rule through non-violent civil disobedience. Daulatram rose in the ranks of the Congress and became one of its foremost leaders from Sindh. He was a leading activist in the Salt March (1930–31) and the Quit India movement (1942–45), being imprisoned by British authorities. Daulatram was shot and wounded in the thigh when police opened fire on street protestors agitating outside a magistrate's court in Karachi in 1930.[1]
Post-independence
India became an independent nation on 15 August 1947 but was simultaneously partitioned to create a separate Muslim state of Pakistan; Daulatram's native Sindh was included in Pakistan, of which Karachi became the national capital. Daulatram stayed in India and was appointed the first Indian Governor of Bihar, a post he held until 1948, when he was appointed the Union Minister for Food Supply. Daulatram represented a constituency from East Punjab in the Constituent Assembly of India and contributed in drafting and shaping the Constitution of India.[2] He served as a member of the advisory, union subjects, and provincial constitution committees.[2] From 1950 to 1956, Daulatram served as the Governor of Assam.[2]
Preservation of Sindhi literature
Jairamsingh Daulatram was one of the founding members of the Akhil Bharat Sindhi Boli Ain Sahit Sabha (All India Sindhi Language and Literature Congress).[3]

Living in Sacramento means you get to enjoy bicycling in warm and dry weather most of the time. However, winter is here and it is going to start raining. Biking in the rain may be intimidating at first, but you do not need to keep your bike inside when it gets wet outside.
With the right knowledge, you can safely navigate the Sacramento roads even when the rain starts falling. Take a look at our tips for safely cycling in the rain below.
Drivers need to see you. With the reduced visibility of rainy conditions, it is more likely for motorists to not notice you and crash into you. According to Active.com, you should equip your handlebar and seatpost with bright LED lamps while bicycling in the rain. It is also a good idea to get a red flashing LED light for the rear of your bike.
The streets get particularly slick right after the train starts pouring because the rain causes oil in the pavement to come to the surface. Keep an eye out for rainbow-colored sections on the road, as this indicates an oil slick. You should also avoid puddles. What may look like a harmless patch of standing water that is fun to ride through can cause a crash.
You will definitely want to properly layer up so you do not get too wet and cold. Consider getting a dry-fit base layer, wool socks, waterproof gloves, fleece and a waterproof jacket. While shopping for new gear, you may want to opt for more bright colors to increase your visibility to drivers.
Rain can throw Californians for a loop, but you do not need to put your bike away when it occurs. Keep cycling even when it is wet with these three fundamental tips.

Japan wrestle a point from Senegal
Japan ground out a draw in their second group game against Senegal. The "Samurai Blue" remain undefeated in the tournament so far.
Senegal pulled off a shock win in their first game against Poland and have climbed to top of the table alongside Japan. The contest between the two group leaders proved a thrilling affair with plenty of goals. Senegal dominated early on and took the lead. Sadio Mane managed to deflect the ball with his knee into the net (11'). They didn't stay ahead long, however. The West Africans didn't take their chances, unlike Japan. Takashi Inui caressed the ball into the goal and leveled the match before half time (39').
The second half began and the contest heated up as neither team wanted a loss after their opening victories. The "Samurai Blue" were dominant at times, but went behind once again. Their goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima could do nothing but watch as Moussa Wague hammered the ball into the net (71'). Keisuke Honda came on for Shinji Kagawa and promptly leveled the score once again. The Senegal defence couldn't clear the ball and Honda snapped up the chance (78').
Takashi Usami was subbed on for goalscorer Inui shortly before the final whistle (90'). No one dared make a mistake in the last few minutes lest they throw away the chance to compete for pole position in the group. On Sunday, 28th June (16:00) Japan face Poland, who are already eliminated.

Planning To Throw A Party?
Whether it's a kid's birthday party or just a fun get-together for you and your friends, there's nothing better than designing your party around a theme. The party theme pulls everything together, and makes the party that much more fun. It also makes planning the party easier, since all your choices – from food to decorations, all have to revolve around your chosen theme.
But with countless party theme possibilities to choose from, how do you know which party theme to pick? As party planning experts, we've listed down some of the top party theme ideas and explain what makes them awesome.
Looking to throw a party that has a little bit of adult fun? Why not go for a Las Vegas and casino-themed event! Tell your guests to dress up in their fanciest suits and sparkliest dresses, and serve cocktails and shots while spinning the boards and laying out the cards.
We've got some awesome balloons for this kind of event, from exclusive poker chip balloons to clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades.
Food, cake, music, decorations – everything should have the superhero touch; and why not offer capes and masks to all the guests?
Need some help with the decorations? We've got just the thing – Avengers balloons and Batman balloons. Need more? Let us know and we'll design them just for you.
Let's travel back to the land before time, and take a journey to the time of the dinosaurs! No kid can resist a dinosaur-themed party, because there's just something about dinosaurs that make them so timeless. Use your creativity and incorporate dinosaur-shaped goodies, someone in a dancing T-Rex costume, and some 3D Dinosaur balloons to top it off.
The kind of party you throw when you just want to feel extravagant. This is all about class – simple yet gaudy, formal yet obscene. Rich cocktails, exotic hor d'oeuvres, and if you got the space and the money for it, maybe even a live band (and not the electric guitar kind). At this party, you and your guests are expected to dress up and raise the bar.
For this, we recommend simple yet bright balloons.
Is it your turn in your family or group of friends to throw the annual Valentines/Halloween/Christmas/New Year party? The task can seem daunting on a holiday, because hosting a party on a holiday means you're not just risking a boring experience, but you're risking ruining everyone's holiday.
Halloween: Just remember one word: spooky! Find everything spooky you can get and turn it into a part of the party – from little creepy skeleton knick knacks to giant scary monster masks hung on the walls. Even the food should be freaky, with "eyeballs" in the pasta and "worms" in the drinks. And of course, the traditional colours of orange and black should be on everything from the invitations to the Halloween balloons.
Christmas and New Year: Even though they're just a week apart, the themes of these two holidays are night and day. If you're dealing with Christmas, you have to embrace Santa, snow, and mistletoe; New Year, and you're dealing with new beginnings, cocktails, and countdowns.

Heated Facts About Marlon Brando, Hollywood's Tragic Rake
On the surface, Marlon Brando seemed to have it all: heartbreaker looks, beautiful women, and Hollywood recognition. But behind the glittering facade, Brando was a tormented soul. Haunted by his disappointing past, his personal demons often became his own worst enemy. With his soaring talent, he ensured his legacy, but sadly, nothing could protect him from unforeseen tragedy.
1. He Had Troubled Role Models
Marlon Brando's turbulent childhood was a far cry away from the fame he'd one day achieve. Born in Nebraska on April 3, 1943, Brando's parents were atrocious role models and despicable parents. Both of them were heavy drinkers, and little Brando often watched in wide-eyed disappointment as his parents struggled with addiction. But this was just the tip of the iceberg.
2. He Never Felt Good Enough
Growing up, Brando constantly felt like an utter failure. No matter how hard he tried to impress his father, he always seemed to come up short. Brando once remembered: "He enjoyed telling me I couldn't do anything right. He had a habit of telling me I would never amount to anything." But this deep resentment toward his father only fueled Brando's inner fire.
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), Warner Bros.
3. He Was A Talented Mimic
From the very beginning, young Brando displayed a talent for mimicry. In fact, he was a total sponge: He observed his friends and flawlessly embodied their characters, mastering their mannerisms and idiosyncrasies. But he also used his talent at home. In fact, his very first foray into acting was touching and heartbreaking in equal measure.
4. He Wanted Her Attention
Growing up on a farm, Brando drew inspiration from his surroundings, namely the cows and horses. He took to imitating these rough animals and chose to perform for his mother in an attempt to capture her attention. Brando tried to distract her from the temptation of the bottle with his silly antics, but of course, nothing could truly curb her spiraling addiction. Despite Brando's heartache, this early love of acting helped paved the way for his bright future.
5. He Was A Troublemaker
For the most part, Brando performed excellently at the Military Academy he attended, especially in theater. But soon, his penchant for troublemaking won out. The school placed Brando on probation for many different infractions, but they never actually caught him for his wildest (and most bizarre) act of rebellion. And boy, was it a doozy.

6. He Was A Genius Manipulator
One night, Brando climbed the academy's bell tower, removed its massive, 150-pound clapper, and dragged it 200 yards before burying it. When the campus found out, he came up with an ingenious way to avoid detection: he himself led the committee looking for the culprit. If there was one thing Brando was good at—it was sticking it to the man.
7. He Planned A Great Escape
After pulling this risky stunt, Brando went on to defy authority every chance he got. Once, after being accused of insubordination, Brando had strict orders to remain shut in his room. Of course, never one to bow to anyone's commands, Brando concocted his own great escape. He skipped all the way to town before they finally found him.
8. He Didn't Seem To Fit In Anywhere
Even after he was caught, Brando didn't take advantage of the school's leniency and promptly dropped out. When his plan to join the army fell through, Brando saw his options quickly dwindling. But not all was lost. He soon turned his attention toward the land of glittering possibility—New York City. Perhaps this was where all his dreams would finally come true.
9. He Found His Calling
When he was only 18 years old, Brando headed off to New York City to pursue the one thing he'd ever felt accomplished at—acting. After a childhood spent on the receiving end of his father's brutal criticism, acting was a soft place to land. For once in his life, he felt bolstered by all the happy compliments and encouragement. But Brando's "unique" acting approach didn't enthuse everyone.
10. He Was Difficult
Brando took acting very seriously, sometimes so seriously that it rubbed critics and some of his costars the wrong way. He wanted his performance to be authentic and natural, but sometimes he just came off as extremely difficult. And that wasn't all. He continued to build the naughty reputation he'd began in boyhood, and he served it up shamelessly.
11. He Showed Up Late
Brando's breakthrough performance was as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway, and the story behind how he got the gig is now legendary. After showing up a few days late for his audition with Tennessee Williams, at the playwright's house, he proceeded to fix the electrical fuses and the house's plumbing before finally giving his reading.
12. He Was A Big Surprise
When it came to Brando, Williams expected nothing special from this fresh newcomer. He thought perhaps the handiwork was an attempt to butter him up for a poor audition, but he was quickly proven wrong. Once Brando began to act, Williams couldn't keep his eyes off him. He later confessed that the audition was "the most magnificent reading" for a part he had ever seen in his life.
13. He Was A Stunner
Not only did Brando nail his Broadway performances, but he also delivered once the cameras started rolling on the 1951 film adaptation. Nobody can quite forget his effortless poise and onscreen presence. Most notably, his undeniable good looks caught the attention of audiences everywhere, and before he knew it, Marlon Brando was both a certified sex symbol and an Academy Award nominee. With a face like that and the acting to chops to match, it wasn't long before he turned the head of the hottest bombshell in Hollywood…
14. He Caught The Eye Of A Blonde Bombshell
Not long after filming A Streetcar For Desire, Brando ended up at the same party as Marilyn Monroe. But surprisingly enough, she wasn't the life of the party. Instead, she quietly removed herself from the crowd and played the piano in the corner. Still, when she spotted Brando, she couldn't resist an introduction. But if Brando had any fantasies about meeting this blonde starlet, their meet-cute was actually a bit of a nightmare.
15. He Had An Awkward Introduction
When Monroe tapped Brando on the shoulder, he turned around swiftly and whacked her in the head with his elbow. Aghast, he insisted it was an accident, apologizing over and over again. Monroe, however, wasn't fazed at all and simply said, "There are no accidents." Having tickled his sense of humor, he almost immediately burst out laughing. This was certainly the beginning of something special.
16. He Wanted To Be More Than Friends
These two gorgeous stars started off as friends, but knowing Brando, a platonic friendship was not the endgame. He definitely wanted to show up at Monroe's place and ravish her…all he needed was an invitation. And that's exactly what he got. In his autobiography, Brando wrote, "She invited me over and it wasn't long before every soldier's dream came true." From then on, these two maintained a bond that lasted until the end of her life.
17. He Was Her Confidante
Brando recognized a sensitivity and vulnerability in Monroe that resonated with him. While they were on and off for years, they also indulged in deep conversations, calling each other up and talking for hours on end. He thought she had a "strong emotional intelligence," and she opened up to him about her many struggles. Still, nothing could have prepared him for Monroe's tragic end.
18. He Spoke To Her Right Before She Passed
Apparently, only days before her untimely death in 1962, Brando and Monroe spoke on the phone. She invited him to dinner, but due to his busy schedule, he made a rain check. When Marilyn Monroe was found deceased in her bed, Brando was devastated. But as whispers of an apparent suicide began to circulate, Brando refused to believe them.
19. He Had His Reasons
Brando's last phone call with Monroe didn't set off any alarm bells. He felt he knew her well enough to know whether she was in trouble, and she had seemed as content and easygoing as always. And while some speculated that a breakup with Robert Kennedy might have sparked the tragedy, Brando believed that Monroe would never have issued him a dinner invitation if she was still involved with another man.
20. He Suspected Foul Play
In Brando's mind, if Marilyn was gone, it could only be for one of two reasons—an accidental overdose or foul play: "I'm pretty good at reading people's moods and perceiving their feelings, and with Marilyn I didn't sense any depression or clue of impending self-destruction during her call. That's why I'm sure she didn't commit suicide." While the rest of the world had lost a resounding talent and celebrity, Marlon Brando mourned for a close friend. Of course, when it came to losing loved ones, this was only the beginning.
21. He Met His Match
In 1954, Marlon Brando set eyes on one of the most beautiful women he'd ever seen—the alluring Rita Moreno. She'd come to visit him on the set of Désirée, and hadn't had any high expectations of meeting the star. In fact, he'd never really crossed her mind at all. But, of course, all that changed in an instant. The second they clapped eyes on each other, all bets were off.
22. He Turned Her On
The chemistry between Brando and Moreno was so charged—it was palpable. In her memoir, Moreno described this meeting with the utmost passion: "Just meeting him that first day sent my body temperature skyrocketing as though I had been dropped into a very hot bath, and I went into a full-body blush." There was no doubt about it—this was the beginning of an epic romance.
23. He Kept His Demons At Bay
Still, despite the hormones at play, the pure fire of their instant attraction alerted Moreno to the red flags surrounding them. Quite damaged and vulnerable herself, she recognized that Brando also had his fair share of demons. Even as she fell into his warm embrace, she knew she was in for a bumpy ride. Neither one of them would escape unscathed.
24. He Was A Womanizer
Brando's tumultuous relationship with women seemed to stem from his own disappointing relationship with his mother. He had trouble trusting anybody, and even as he womanized his way through Hollywood, he always tried to protect his own heart. When Brando met Moreno, his undoubted passion for her didn't stop him from hurting her in the worst ways imaginable.
25. He Was A Generous Lover
Brando was a top-notch lover. He really knew how to please a woman, and he never let Moreno forget it. When speaking about his expertise beneath the sheets, Moreno gushed, "To say that he was a great lover—sensual, generous, delightfully inventive—would be gravely understating what he did not only to my body, but for my soul." But was this amount of sheer pleasure enough to sustain their relationship? Absolutely not.
26. He Cheated On Her Incessantly
Brando was not a committed man, and he certainly wasn't monogamous throughout his eight-year stint with Moreno. He cheated on her constantly, both physically and emotionally, and it absolutely broke her heart. Still, the fire that raged between them had them returning to one another time and time again. But the longer she stayed with him, the more liberal he became with his betrayals.
27. He Kept Coming Back To Her
To Moreno's dismay, Brando married multiple times while still seeing her. They were on and off for years—a vicious seesaw of delightful intimacy and broken hearts. But that wasn't the worst part. Moreno desperately wanted Brando to marry her, but for some reason, he never wanted to make her his wife. Even so, he never had to worry about losing her because she just kept crawling back…at least for the time being.
28. He Was In For A Surprise
On one occasion, Moreno decided to give Brando a taste of his own medicine. And boy, did it leave a wicked taste in his mouth. When Moreno found some lingerie that clearly did not belong to her, all of her hurt came to a peak and she crumbled. The very next day, however, she got a call that surprised the daylights out of her. Better yet, it was the perfect opportunity for revenge.
29. He Got A Taste Of His Own Medicine
Moreno's caller was none other than Elvis Presley, and she knew that if there was anyone in the world that could make Brando jealous, it was The King himself. She decided to accept Presley's advances, but only as a means to an end: She wanted Brando to feel exactly how he made her feel. But Elvis only served her up a generous dollop of disappointment.
30. He Was A Better Kisser Than Elvis
In comparison to Brando, Elvis's lovemaking was terribly underwhelming. Even as she stared into the musician's angelic face, she couldn't help but think of Brando and his kissing expertise. She went so far as to call her time with Presley "amateur night." Ouch. Still, this clumsy affair managed to get the job done…When Brando found out, all hell broke loose.
31. He Made A Scene
Although Brando had no problem sleeping around, he certainly didn't like the sting of Moreno's fling with Elvis. The second his devoted mistress took the plunge with another man, his jealousy came bubbling to the surface. According to Moreno, Brando was so incensed, he even "threw chairs." Of course, this was payback at its finest, and Moreno delighted in watching her lover squirm, reminiscing fondly—"It was wonderful!"
32. He Was An Addiction
Brando was definitely a challenging man to be in love with, but as it turns out, this was exactly what appealed to Moreno. As toxic as their long-standing affair seemed, her constant fight to win his affection was all a part of her heated addiction to him. The thrill of the chase kept these two at it for years, even as many of Brando's other relationships completely imploded.
33. He Married The Wrong Woman
In 1956, while still stringing Moreno along, Brando met his first wife, Anna Kashfi. Kashfi was pretty and demure, and on the outside, they seemed like the most ideal couple. Behind closed doors, however, Kashfi and Brando were not a match made in heaven. After only a year and a half of marriage, they accepted the inevitable and called it quits. But their separation didn't end Brando's troubles…To his dismay, his clash with Kashfi had only just begun.
34. He Fought For His Son
Although Brando was now a divorcé, there was still one thing that tethered him to his ex-wife—his son, Christian Brando. As Brando and Kashfi continued to butt heads, poor Christian found himself caught in their volatile crossfire. The brutal custody battle that ensued was not won overnight, and by the time Brando finally came out on top, his son was already 13 years old. Of course, as Brando soon learned, being a father was much harder than expected.
35. He Was Fiercely Protective
Brando's determination to protect his son may have had something to do with the terrible hatred he had for his own father. In fact, Brando fiercely proclaimed this sentiment: "I didn't want my father to get near Christian. The day he was born I said to myself with tears in my eyes, 'My father is never going to come near that child because of the damage he has done to me.'" But no matter his good intent, Brando's career always took him far away from Christian…And sometimes, he just couldn't protect him.
36. He Was A Disappointing Father
By the time Brando had full custody, his son's dysfunctional upbringing had already severely affected him. It didn't help that Brando was almost never around, and instead, hired nannies to raise Christian. In 1972, while he was away filming in France, Brando's ex-wife took his absence as the perfect opportunity to get her son back…
37. He Lived A Real-Life Nightmare
Anna Kashfi took it upon herself to kidnap Christian from school and shuttle him over the Mexican border. In a deal gone wrong, her friends hid the boy away where nobody could find him. When Brando caught wind of his ex-wife's scheming and missing son, he hired a slew of private investigators to bring him home. Caught in every father's worst nightmare, Brando could only sit and wait and hope.
38. He Finally Found Him
To Brando's relief, the private investigators finally found Christian. But this traumatic experience had definitely taken a toll on the young boy. He'd been found living in a tent, wracked with pneumonia and clearly terrified. But despite Brando's trying time with his first child, it didn't stop him from going forth and procreating willy nilly. And when it came to his children, Brando had a lot more fathering still to do.
39. He Didn't Want Her To Keep The Baby
Amidst the turmoil of his family life, up until 1962, Brando still had Rita Moreno willing to slip in beside him and warm his bed. He was always in her orbit, and she was the one person that never strayed. But as they say—all good things must come to an end. When Moreno discovered she was pregnant with Brando's child, he quickly arranged for her to have an abortion. Sadly, nothing went as planned, and once again, he had another relationship disaster on his hands.
40. He Had His Priorities Mixed Up
Rita Moreno's abortion went horribly wrong. The doctors completely botched the job, and soon after the procedure, Moreno started bleeding heavily. She had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. After this traumatizing ordeal, Moreno was even more horrified when Brando seemed more concerned about the money he'd spent than about her own wellbeing.
41. He Hurt Her Beyond Belief
Shortly after this disturbing episode, Brando dealt his mistress another heartbreaking blow. In 1962, Brando jetted away to film Mutiny on the Bounty, where he met and fell in love Tarita Teriipaia. Still, when he arrived back in Hollywood, it was Moreno he wanted to see. Unbeknownst to Brando, his lover was already at her wit's end. She was tired of the way Brando treated her. What she did next—shocked him to the core.

42. He Had To End It
Brando was completely blindsided when Moreno tried to take her own life by overdosing on pills. Luckily, his assistant was at the right place at the right time and found her before the pills could take effect. At the hospital, doctors pumped Moreno's stomach and she lived to tell the tale. But after this extremely close call, one thing became crystal clear—Marlon Brando and Rita Moreno had to end their romance once and for all.
43. He Went To Therapy
As passionate and unforgettable as Brando and Moreno were, a therapist advised both of them to keep away from one another. Together, the two of them were a dangerous cocktail, and both of their sanities were on the line. For the next two years, they made a clean break and never saw one another. But if you think that was the end of Brando and Moreno, think again.
44. He Had One True Bromance
In addition to the many romances he entertained, Brando also had one very close bromance—and it was one of the most unlikeliest friendships ever. Marlon Brando and Wally Cox met when they were only nine years old. Their parents were friends and soon, these two youngsters formed an extremely strong bond. In fact, their friendship lasted until an unforeseen tragedy tore them apart.
Cinema Clássico
45. He Had A Soulmate
As Brando and Cox grew up, their lives somehow moved in tandem with one another. They both moved to New York and they both pursued acting. On the surface, they looked like a mismatched pair, but underneath it all, "they were birds of a feather." They could talk about anything and everything. They wrestled like kids and went on adventures. But that wasn't all.
46. He Was Wildly Jealous
Brando was the handsome dramatist and Cox was the goofy comedian, and as such, they each harbored a polite jealousy toward one another. But if anyone was more covetous of the friendship, it was definitely Brando. He saw Cox through three marriages, and every time, Cox's wives had to come up against his wild possessiveness. Cox's second wife recalled Brando as "kind of sulky and very rude and I sensed, absolutely, that he was like a brother being jealous of an intruder."
47. He Broke His Promise
When Wally Cox suddenly passed from a massive heart attack, Brando was inconsolable. When Cox's wife, Patricia Cox Shapiro, asked him to pick up the ashes from the mortuary, Brando considered it a great honor. He promised to scatter his dear friend's ashes along one of his favorite hiking trails. But years later, Shapiro discovered that Brando had not kept his promise…
48. He Talked To His Deceased Friend
Imagine Shapiro's surprise when she read one of Brando's quotes in Time magazine: "[Wally] was [like] my brother. I can't tell you how much I miss and love that man. I have Wally's ashes in my house. I talk to him all the time." Even after Cox's passing, Brando still held on to him, communed with him, and grieved for him. This brotherly love never left him, and he defied Shapiro's wishes in order to hold on to his longest and best friend.
49. He Slept With Everyone
While many speculated that Brando and Cox shared a romantic relationship, most of their friends denied the rumors. However, when it came to sleeping with other men, it wasn't like Brando wasn't open and willing. In fact, he was rather ahead of his time for his progressive take on the matter. He felt no guilt in admitting to having romps with both women and men. And some of them were downright spicy.
50. He Had No Shame
Brando acted for a living, but his true happiness undoubtedly lay beneath the sheets. Intimacy was his lifeblood, and he pursued it in all its forms. In 1976, he said, "Homosexuality is so much in fashion, it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences, and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me."
51. He Was Fluid
Allegedly, Brando's relations with other men began while he attended military school, where he slept with another cadet. Long after he passed, record producer Quincy Jones came forward and revealed that Brando had had a fling with comedian Richard Pryor. Although this has been subject to debate, one thing remains salient—Brando was a lover to be reckoned with. As Brando's biographer William Mann wrote, "He was a man utterly at ease with his fluid sexuality, someone who blithely disregarded the binaries of love and gender."
52. He Took A Risk
After their breakup, Brando and Moreno went on to marry different people. However, after years of keeping his distance, Brando finally deemed it safe to reunite with Moreno since she'd fallen for another man. Although they didn't rekindle their affair, they certainly started a long-lasting friendship. In 1968, Brando even asked Moreno to star opposite him in The Night of the Following Day. But this was a slippery slope, and as soon as filming began, it became clear that both of them had strong feelings buried just beneath the surface.
The Night Of The Following Day, 1968, Technicolor
53. He Slapped Her Silly
In reminiscing on the troubled shoot, Moreno described how one pivotal scene barely required any "acting." This was a scene where Moreno had to slap Brando, and heck, she gave it her all and hit him with all her might. Of course, he came right back at her with a heavy hand and slapped her so hard she saw stars. According to Moreno, this moment "opened an old scar." And that's when she totally lost it.
54. He Opened Old Wounds
Still whirling from his vicious slap, Moreno started screaming at Brando, losing her mind on camera in a totally unscripted moment. Of course, the director absolutely ate it up and never stopped filming. All that pain and resentment burst through her like a breached dam. It was a moment of catharsis for both of them, and they never forgot it.
55. He Missed Her
Still, despite their tumultuous history, Brando and Moreno kept in touch. For Moreno, she never really stopped loving him. She even wore the same perfume as him—Vent Vert by Balmain. In her autobiography, she confessed that in his final years, Brando sometimes called her, professing how much he still missed her. But it gets even sadder than that.
56. He Had An Awkward Interlude
2003 was the last year Brando and Moreno saw one another. She went to stay with him while working on a project, and when filming wrapped, she was ready to say goodbye. By this time, Brando had lost the trim figure of his youth. In fact, he struggled with obesity. When Moreno leaned in for a kiss, his large body got in the way, making it painfully clear that the days of their explosive affair were long gone.
57. He Was A Binge Eater
Now, Marlon Brando didn't get so big out of nowhere. He actually grappled with binge eating for years. To many, there were two Brandos: The youthful, dreamy hunk and the older, heavy veteran. While Brando was a heartthrob for much of his career, that doesn't mean he wasn't shoveling food into his mouth. And sometimes, he went to extreme lengths just to get his hands on a tasty treat.
58. He Broke The Locks
Brando loved food so much that for a couple of decades, he resorted to crash dieting before showing up to set. It became so intense that at one point, his second wife Movita Castaneda put locks on their refrigerator. She'd been suspecting the household staff of thievery, but of course, it was only Brando. One morning, Castaneda discovered that he'd broken the locks and left his teeth marks in a round of cheese. Still, that wasn't the worst of it.
59. He Was Insatiable
Brando made the lives of his costume designers a waking nightmare. While shooting 1961's One-Eyed Jacks, actor Karl Malden said that Brando had a voracious appetite: His dinner included "two steaks, potatoes, two apple pies a la mode and a quart of milk." On multiple occasions, designers altered his costumes or he'd risk splitting his pants.

60. He Was Every Costume Designer's Worst Nightmare
The costume designer for 1962's Mutiny on the Bounty claimed that Brando went through no less than 50 pairs of pants, simply by splitting them over and over again. He gorged himself incessantly. But this wasn't the only excess he enjoyed while filming Mutiny on the Bounty. By this time, Brando was so famous he could pretty much demand anything he wanted.
61. He Indulged In Outrageous Excess
During filming, Brando had planes flown to Tahiti filled with champagne, hams, and turkeys. It was all for the sake of a good party, but it definitely ensured a hefty feast. In fact, Brando loved Tahiti so much that he ending up buying a group of islands called Tetiaroa, and today it's home to a bougie resort that's aptly named—you guessed it—The Brando. Unfortunately for Brando, the filming of Mutiny on the Bounty marked the beginning of a rather disappointing decade.
62. He Enjoyed A Golden Decade
For Brando, his golden decade was definitely the 50s. For one, he won accolades some actors only dream of. He scored an Academy Award nomination three years in a row for A Streetcar Named Desire, Viva Zapata!, and Julius Caesar. And then he finally took home gold for best actor in On the Waterfront in 1955. Only, something very odd happened concerning the physical trophy—his Oscar went MIA.
63. He Lost His Oscar
Someone must have stolen Brando's Oscar without him knowing, because in 1994 his lawyer contacted him with some surprising news: A London auction house was about to auction it off. How they got their hands on it? Nobody had a clue. Even Brando hadn't realized it was missing in the first place. Of course, after his second Oscar win, it became clear that Brando didn't take much stock in the award itself…
64. He Made A Comeback
Throughout the 60s, Brando's career took a sudden nosedive and he starred in a handful of duds. Luckily for him, a great opportunity arose with the beginning of a new decade: In 1972, he screen-tested for the infamous role of Vito Corleone in The Godfather. This was his official comeback, but Brando being Brando, he had some strict stipulations.
Critics Round Up
65. He Dissed Him…Big Time
Brando refused to play the role of Vito Corleone if Burt Reynolds was cast as Michael Corleone. He threatened to back out altogether because he just couldn't stand Burt Reynolds. And when it came to criticism, he certainly didn't hold back. Brando brutally called Reynolds "the epitome of something that makes me want to throw up." A little harsh. Still, Brando got what he wanted, and in return, he gave the performance of a lifetime.
66. He Stood Up For Indigenous Rights
Brando won his second Academy Award for best actor in The Godfather—a film destined to become a beloved classic. However, he never showed up to the ceremony, and instead, he sent Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse his award and make a small speech. Her presence helped raise awareness for the depiction of indigenous peoples in Hollywood, something Brando cared deeply about. In fact, Marlon Brando stood up for equal rights every chance he got, and even participated in the civil rights movement.
67. He Didn't Come Prepared
Now, all this time, Brando still struggled with binge eating, and as he aged, he found it increasingly difficult to keep the weight off. In 1979, when Brando showed up to set for Apocalypse Now, he weighed close to 300 pounds and hadn't even read Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, the short novella the movie is based on, so he didn't have any idea who his character was. This set the tone for the film, as director Francis Ford Coppola and Brando were at each other's throats throughout the entire process.
Apocalypse Now, 1979, Paramount Pictures
68. He Was A Huge Inconvenience
Unfortunately, Brando's lack of preparation also extended to his lines. He set everyone back a full week, as Coppola took the time to read the script out loud to the unstudied actor. But once he was finally up to scratch, Coppola had yet another issue to deal with—Brando's size. After all, his character, Colonel Kurtz, was lean and wiry. They had to come up with a quick solution.
Apocalypse Now (1979), Zoetrope
69. He Was Self-Conscious
Brando, too, was self-conscious about his appearance and insisted on wearing black. Coppola agreed to do his part and keep the camera focussed away from Brando's substantial girth. Surprisingly, these tactics had a phenomenal result. Hiding the actor's bulk in the shadow ended up adding to the magic of the psychotic villain. While the making of Apocalypse Now was an adventure in itself, this was not Brando's first time at the rodeo. He was no stranger to ruffling feathers on set.
70. He Had A Rival
One of Brando's greatest rivals was none other than notorious crooner Frank Sinatra, and their beef began all the way back in 1954. After Brando turned down the lead role in On the Waterfront, Frank Sinatra became his replacement. He didn't get to keep the role though: The second Brando changed his mind, he lost his opportunity. You can bet that Sinatra was not pleased about this little game of switcheroo.
71. His Costar Loathed Him
See, Sinatra could really hold a grudge, and he even reverted to infantile name-calling to get his point across. From then on, he referred to Brando as "mumbles" and called his acting techniques "that Method crap." However, this became a big problem once these two hotheads were cast together in 1955's Guys and Dolls. It was a recipe for disaster.
72. He Got Sweet Revenge
Aware of Sinatra's animosity, Brando purposely worked to get under the crooner's skin, and would intentionally mess up scenes because he knew it would get to Sinatra. During the film's famed cheesecake scene, Brando reportedly screwed the scene up nine times, making Sinatra eat nine pieces of cheesecake. Eventually, Ol' Blue Eyes erupted at the director, shouting "How much cheesecake do you think I can eat?" However, cheesecake was nothing compared to some of the punches Brando actually pulled.
Guys and Dolls (1955), The Samuel Goldwyn Company
73. He Decked A Paparazzo
One day, paparazzo Ron Galella followed Brando so closely that the actor turned around and punched him in the face so hard—he broke his jaw. Although Brando paid for his outburst with $40,000 and an infected hand, his message certainly got across. The next time Galella showed up to photograph the volatile actor, he made sure to wear a helmet. Brando undoubtedly had hidden and seen aggressions, but he never counted on having to deal with his own children's irrational choices…
74. He Had A Dangerous Son
In 1990, an inexplicable tragedy befell Brando's family. In a drunken rage, Brando's son, Christian, shot his sister Cheyenne Brando's partner…right in the middle of Marlon Brando's living room. But how did this bloodbath even happen? Earlier that night, Christian and Cheyenne went to dinner, where she confessed that her boyfriend, Dag Drollet, had been beating her.
75. He Had A Dysfunctional Family
Apparently, as a protective brother, Christian had only wanted to scare Drollet, but the confrontation ended in a deadly skirmish. As they fought over the weapon, it unexpectedly went off and fatally injured Drollet. To Christian's horror, he found out later that Cheyenne may have been lying about Drollet's mistreatment of her. Her mental health was in the pits, and once the trials began, it only got worse. Brando, however, had no choice but to stand by his son.
76. He Begged For Mercy
Marlon Brando took the stand at a Santa Monica courthouse and did his best to secure a reduced sentence for his son, even admitting some of his own shortcomings by saying, "I think that perhaps I failed as a father." In the end, Christian plead guilty and faced five years behind bars. Still, when it came to losing his children, Brando's nightmare had only just begun.
77. He Lost His Daughter
To his utter dismay, Brando's daughter Cheyenne never lived to see her brother's freedom. After losing the custody battle for her son, she completely fell apart. That, combined with her faltering mental stability (and perhaps a guilty conscience), drove her to an extreme decision. She passed by suicide—hanging herself at her mother's house. For Brando, the loss of his daughter tore him apart.
78. He Fizzled Out
Nearing the end of his career, Brando's heartbreaking family life—not to mention his workplace antics and appearance—became more infamous than the performances he gave. By the time the 2000s hit, his health rapidly declined. However, he did make one unlikely friend—a friend that helped make his final years as peaceful as they could possibly be.
The Brave (1997), Acappella Pictures
79. He Was Friend With A Pop Legend
Brando was close with Michael Jackson, and even got his son Miko a job as Jackson's bodyguard for years. He also spent a good amount of time at Neverland Ranch, as he enjoyed the luxurious 24-hour service available at the entire compound. Reportedly, the very last time he left his Hollywood bungalow was to go for a visit at the Ranch.
80. He Faded Away
In 2004, Brando had illnesses galore: diabetes, liver cancer, and congestive heart failure. He had to wear an oxygen mask, but soon doctors recommended that oxygen tubes be inserted into his lungs. They told him that without this procedure, he wouldn't last long. Brando—stubborn or perhaps resigned to his fate—refused, and on July 1, 2004, he passed.
81. He Loved His Best Friend Most
Remember how Brando held on to his best friend Wally Cox's ashes? Well, after he passed, his family reunited his ashes with both Cox's and Sam Gilman's—two of his closest friends. Together, they were scattered to the winds in both Tahiti and Death Valley. This was a most fitting end for Brando and one of the greatest loves of his life. As he once said, "If Wally had been a woman, I would have married him and we would have lived happily ever after."

Liberal sex assault claims 'absolutely horrific'
by Claire Bickers
31st Jul 2019 10:50 AM
FORMER Minister for Women Michaelia Cash insists the Liberal Party doesn't have a problem with women but admits claims of two female former staffers about sexual harassment are "serious".
The women have aired the shocking claims - including that a fellow political staffer pinned one down and ripped off her underwear during a sitting week in Canberra - in a bid to urge the party to implement a robust new internal complaints process.
"These are serious allegations. I would say to the parties concerned that they should be referred to the appropriate authorities," Minister Cash told reporters in Parliament House this morning.
Asked directly whether the party had a problem with women, Senator Cash said: "No, we do not have a problem with women."
She highlighted the Coalition's efforts to get more women into work as evidence.
Senior Liberal Party figure Kathryn Greiner however has called for a culture change from the "very top".
Liberal Party federal vice president Karina Okotel said the allegations were "absolutely horrific" and needed to be investigated.
"The first I heard of it was last night with the rest of the public," Ms Okotel told Sky News.
"I don't know whether the alleged perpetrators are members of the Liberal Party or any political party but regardless of that these are allegations that should be investigated by the authorities, by the police.
"If they are found to be guilty, they need to be taken off the street."
Ms Okotel said dealing with it internally wasn't enough.
"It's not enough that it just be dealt with by an internal process. In fact, I would say that's sweeping it under the carpet, to hush it up and not let the appropriate authorities who are the police deal with allegations of sexual assault."
She added the party's review into bullying and the need for a code for conduct was almost completed.
A federal executive meeting will be held on Friday.

Labor frontbencher Catherine King said the claims were "very serious" and the Liberal Party needed to explain its processes to deal with them.
"I think it's really important these matters are dealt with appropriately. People should be safe at work and free from harassment," she said.
Ms King believed the Labor Party had strong processes to deal with complaints internally and added that the Liberals needed to work on boosting the number of women in their ranks.
"I can't speak for the Liberal Party but I think the more women that are in parliament the better the culture is," she said.
"That's certainly something the Labor Party has worked on over many years. We're nearly at 50 per cent representation … and I think the Liberal Party have a lot of work to do in relation to that."
Meanwhile, Tasmanian Liberal MP Bridget Archer also rejected suggestions the party had a problem with women.
"I don't think so," she told reporters as she arrived at parliament.
New Liberal Member for Wentworth Dave Sharma denied the party needed to modernise.
"I think our approach to women is good … just look at the class of 2019," Mr Sharma said, referencing the boost in female Liberal MPs elected in May.

A string of other Liberal MPs declined to comment as they arrived at parliament.
The explosive claims of two former staffers, Chelsey Potter and Dhanya Mani, about sexual assault come as the party conducts an internal review, launched after bullying allegations following the leadership spill last year.
Ms Potter, a former staffer for a minister, told Nine Newspapers she was assaulted by a fellow staffer during a sitting week.
The man reportedly forced himself on her at her home in Canberra and removed her underwear.
"It was very quick and very sudden and quite forceful," Ms Potter told The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. "It wasn't until I started to really yell that he stopped and left the room."
Ms Potter told the publications she raised the incident with a senior party colleague who was initially supportive but a few months later called to let her know the man was being considered for preselection for a seat in parliament and to ask if she would feel "compelled to speak out" about the incident.
Ms Mani also claimed a different NSW Liberal staffer forced himself on her at her home in 2015.
"I couldn't do anything else because my mind just became entirely empty and I was just really afraid because he was on top of me," she told the publications.
"At one point he put his hands around my neck and started choking me. At that point I became incapable of moving."
The two men have not been named but have strongly denied the allegations to Nine.

Southeast Ohio includes rural areas of the state that border West Virginia. This region is very hilly as it lies in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Most of the Wayne National Forest is in Southeast Ohio. When looking at a map, the forest will look like patches. The whole area resembles the National Forest, which is reclaimed strip mining areas, in various stages of reforestation. Much of it is primative area, popular with hunters and all terrain vehicle users. The southeastern part is along the banks of the Ohio River and has some of the most scenic and historic areas in Ohio.

In Buchtel Ohio there is a spring which flows endlessly and has been piped and flows into a large trough, it is off State Route 78 and can be easily seen from the road. Many locals have drank the spring water all their lives. It is not unusual to see cars pull up and people fill up gallon jugs with this water.
Stay safe[edit]
This is a very rural part of Ohio with many primitive areas. As long as you stay on the paved, narrow, winding roads, you should have few problems. If you wander off onto the logging or coal mine roads, be prepared for potholes, bad roads, mud and very little, if any traffic to ask for assitance. Much of this area is not served by cell phone towers and you will have little to no communications. The area is popular with hunters and all terrain vehicle users. Rumor has it that the area is also popular with marijuana growers, in and out of the Wayne National Forest. If you come upon a patch, change direction and move on slowly while looking for man-traps. Don't even think about getting close enough to pick any. You may be being videotaped by law enforcement or worse. During hunting season, wear brightly-colored clothing if you go into the woods.

The Italian fashion designer hit back at the 'Living For Love' hitmaker after she claimed the "heavy" cape he designed was partially responsible for her falling off the stage at the BRIT Awards last Wednesday (25.02.15), but he insists it was her own fault.
Asked about the accident, the 80-year-old couturier told PEOPLE.com: "Madonna, as we know, is very difficult. This cape had a hook and she wanted a tie, and she wasn't able to open it with her hands. That's all there is to it."
The 56-year-old singer got "a little whiplash" when she was pulled down a small flight of stairs by a dancer who was attempting to remove the huge cape during her performance at the ceremony in London, and claimed her ensemble was to blame.
She later said: "Everybody was worried that my cape was going to slide off because it's quite heavy, so they tied it really tight around my neck. So here I am marching in like a queen, and I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled my silky string, and it would not come undone. And my two lovely Japanese dancers basically strangled me off the stage. I had a choice: I could either be strangled or fall with the cape, and I fell."
Despite the fall - during which the audience heard a loud thud as she toppled down the stairs and dropped her microphone - the 'Hung Up' hitmaker managed to continue with her performance.
She added: "It was a nightmare, I like to be amazing, I rehearse and rehearse so when I do a show it is effortless and I create magic. I did the opposite, I actually created a horror show for everyone."
