Yes, Marlon Brando is a great loss to all lovers of film, and great acting. Those of us who love the "Godfather" films feel this especially. I gained an ever broader respect for him after enjoying his performance as Carmine(Jimmy the Toucan)Sabatini in "The Freshman". There he parodied his most famous character, a rare gift. May he rest in peace, now may he be reunited with his beloved daughter, Cheyenne.
