famed actor Marlon Brando, has died from pneumonia at a Los Angeles
hospital. He was 49.
That word from an attorney representing Marlon Brando's estate.
David Seeley calls it "a sad and difficult time for the
family."
The younger Brando had small roles in a handful of movies, but
he was better known for his brushes with the law.
He spent five years in prison after pleading guilty to
manslaughter in 1990 for killing his sister's boyfriend, Dag
Drollet.
Brando said he accidentally shot Drollet as they struggled for a
gun during an argument over whether Drollet had beaten Brando's
pregnant half-sister, Cheyenne.
Cheyenne, who later gave birth to Drollet's son, committed
suicide in 1995 after losing custody. She was 25.
So far, there are no funeral plans for Christian Brando.
