Marlon Brando Dictates His Will, Plans Funeral
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) – Hollywood legend Marlon Brando, who has been suffering from serious ill health, is reportedly making preparations for his death.
The 79-year-old actor has left instructions on dictated tapes specifying points in his will and details for his funeral, according to media reports.
Sources claim that Brando’s tapes say he wishes to be cremated, with his ashes sprinkled among the palm trees on the Polynesian atoll known as Tetiaroa, an island he has owned since 1966.
The actor also wants Jack Nicholson to lead mourners at the funeral service, with King of Pop Michael Jackson saying a few words.
In February, Brando was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.
Brando, whose career has spanned more than five decades, won best actor Oscars for Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” in 1972 and Elia Kazan’s “On the Waterfront” in 1954. His most recent onscreen appearance was in the 2001 heist film “The Score” opposite Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton.
