My father had the privilege of meeting Marlon Brando at a dinner party in the early 1960s. During their conversation, Marlon shared with him a captivating story that left a lasting impression on my father. my father recorded the encounter with Marlon Brando and included the story that Marlon shared with (he did some notes right after meeting). Later in life, he showed me this
He was beginning to be known wherever he appeared, or
at least he was in some quarters, and if he was not known,
people looked at him anyway because he was so handsome
Yet I often heard people say, then and later, that he wasn't
really handsome - ruggedly good-looking, perhaps, but not
some movie star handsome. When people said that, I thought, What
do they mean by “handsome”? If it means a face that captures
and holds your attention, then Marlon was certainly handsome. Even when he was an unknown, wherever we went -
restaurants, parties, on the subways - people would. lower
their newspapers to stare at him and stop whatever they
were doing for a moment to gape at him unabashedly.
Sometimes I'd look at him and wonder what it was that

a straight nose, rounded at the end; a pouting, crooked mouth;
small, pale-blue, narrowed eyes; a forehead that was too high
and too broad, with a fattened lump over his right eve; and
blond hair was prematurely thinning out. There was nothing singular about his features, nothing remarkable about any
one of them. Yet, put together as they were, they made Marlon
Brando an exceptionally handsome man.
‘Once Marlon caught me staring at him and said, “What
ate you gaping at?”
“At your face,” Tad
“What about my face?”
“You've got one of the most interesting faces I've ever
seen”
