there is a movie of marlon brando. but i must say, i remember it was a time in the 1960's, it was some boy from the suburbs. i suppose little gangs who were supposed to be bad boys. maybe i was a very polite boy. i was a little fascinated by bad ones. [laughter] it came from my fascination with movies, with james dean, most of all marlon brando. all wore rebellious close. i find it very attractive and very interesting. of course, i should say that i love a lot of other things. cinema was also showing that kind of rebellion of the street. for me, maybe it became like those things are not that bad. and they're already recognized. they show some kind of people that i am not at all part of. but also, i use it may be after -- it inspired me. i love to make them all. the code of what is decent and a decent. what is elegant, not elegant. what is luxurious or not luxurious. changing to the time. >> let's talk now about one of the frontiers that you broke down. you're one of the first to do. you went into the streets of paris b

i mean, i know that for me that moment was a marker, which is when marlon brando wins the academy award for the godfather. we all thought we were going to see... well, i know that there was some buzz about whether or not he was going to show up, and then a native american woman comes onstage and says, "he is rejecting this award," and talks about what's happening. at that moment, do you feel... did you know at that moment that that could be that moment that was in kind of our cultural lexicon as americans? the native american presence was there for all to see at the academy awards. and yet it was basically saying, "we are still powerless." >> yes, perhaps poweess. but i think that the real legacy of all that activism is what we can look at in terms of the sovereignty that's been built up throughout the indian nations, the tribal nations, whatever you would call it. and to the point that we are now... you know, we're a public presence in government happenings, in policy and legislation and things like that. so we've finally gotten to the point that we can affect better. we have always be

james dean or marlon brando. marilyn monroe, a sex object, but she moves the boundaries of sexuality. this is an era of a lot of creativity culturally, a lot of things going on, a lot of change. it serves as a basis of the '60s, a revolutionary cultural change. still it's there in the '50s. sex appeal and rebels. rebels without a cause. even james dean would die in this era. the lead art. pushing the boundaries of art. it wasn't conformist at all. and a youth culture. look at elvis presley. he was able to bring african-american music to white people. when he showed up on the ed sullivan show, and over 80% of television viewers watched it in the late 1950s on that show. it was a sensation. ed sullivan refused to show him from the waist down. he wasn't going to show that wiggling lower body, too sexual. he showed up and it spurred more of a youth culture. for elvis and others. buddy holly, the comets, and others. and rock and roll was pivotal. this was the era that was born. it's guys like presley who bring in this

. >> one of the most famous movie gangsters of all time was portrayed by marlon brando. >> i don't knowan act like a man. what's the matter with you? is this how you turn down [inaudible] cries like a woman? [sobbing] >> what can i do? what can i do? do you spend time with your family? >> sure, i do. >> good. because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man. >> bill: the character don was based on several real life mafia bosses. the friendship with that character singer johnny fontaine was reportedly based upon the relationship between frank sinatra and which real life gangster cards up, please. an easy one. sam giancana. i am writing about that book in killing kennedy. tied. very thrilling so far. question number two. the notorious john dillinger robbed dozens of banks in the 1930s. >> hold the floor, now, now. >> fair game, mr. president. called spin the dial. >> bill: dillinger was eventually gunned down outside a chicago movie theater after the fbi was tipped off to his whereabouts by whom? >> the answer is the prostitute. that's correct. >> hooker. >> bi

it's probably a combination, i would say of marlon brando, and keith richards, and -- >> jimmy: that'sombination. [ laughter ] >> and then hunter. >> jimmy: and who is the most fun to hang out with of those three guys? >> i mean, in terms of, you know, fun, hunter was always the sort of, like, he called it the too much fun club. and you never knew what to expect. one minute you'd be building a propane tank bomb with nitro glycerin, and shooting it with a nickel-plated 12 gauge shot gun. then the next night you're careening down some strange road outside of colorado at a high speed. >> jimmy: do you feel like he planned these things for you, like, oh, when john gets here, we're going to -- >> no. one night there was, i guess don johnson was one of hunter's neighbors near where he lived. >> jimmy: this is going to be great. wherever this goes, i have a feeling it's going to be great. >> oh, it's good. it was 3:00 a.m. and hunter said, johnson just called, he's coming over. we must ambush him. and when you're with hunter, it's not like you go, what? you just go, of course we do. so we gra

when i think of burr's intentions, i think of marlon brando in the movie, "the wild ones," where he leads a motorcycle gang into this hokey california town, and he terrorizes them in rather a quaint way. about halfway true the movie the -- through the movie the sweet young thing says to brando, johnny, what are you rebelling against? and brando says, well, what have you got? and burr has that element. and to be serious for a moment, he had this need for fame, and fame was something that the founding generation was candid about wanting. people like washington, people like madison and jefferson and adams saw fame as the greatest thing a person could achieve. and it wasn't the sort of empty celebrityhood we see today with the people in the gossip columns. this was people knew who you were because you were important because you did something important, because you were a person of character and integrity. and it was a measure of your worth that you were known. and burr needed that. he needed that in a powerful way. um, the expedition, that the expedition had a dark side, i think, is demonstra

marlon brando was not, last time i checked, polish, but he played it.umber of people who through the years have played that. how do you respond to that kind of narrowness? it's not a black play but it's black cast and others interpreting it. >> at tend of the die, the last thing you think of when you leave this place is race. what you see upon that stage is humanity. i don't read reviews. i just don't. i don't like it seeping into my consciousness. now know people bring it up. i know is that about 90% of the reviews have been positive. there are been those that have been trippk and honest, i'm going to come right at you. to me it's really -- >> very stanley of you. >> the dark side of white liberalism. the dark side. that was john lair that said that from the new yorker what you're talking about. this was his christmas list five months ago that he did not want santa to bring him anymore all black cast of tennessee williams unless they will have the equal folly which will be an all white production. for none constituents to say anything about that, we kn

so did bikers like the one marlon brando played in the wild one. >> hey, what are you rebeling against did the demonstrators that brought down the berlin wall. no other garment personifies freedom more than denim blue jeannes. but jeannes were originally work wear. they were the essential clothing of a hard day in the mines when jacob davis and lee vie strauss patented the idea to use a metal rivet to hold denim together. and those jeannes were made in america, like the rigid fabric from which they were cut. that is, until the 1990s when companies like lee vies become to shut down most of their american manufacturing. >> i mean it's not only levi's, it's everybody. >> reporter: so you might say they don't make jeannes like that anymore. that is, until you meet roy. >> i like the idea of the whole factory. you know, the whole factory of old machines that, i'm the mechanic and i'm the head designer. >> reporter: he is, in fact, a one-man sweat shop. he uses 14 different machines to make a single pair of jeannes. >> it doesn't feel like this wispy little piece of something. it feels like.

the first few days of brando, i recall bob called me, saying, "are we going to subtitle this? cause marlon talking like this and we didn't know what the hell he was saying." on top it, the opening scene where he was petting the cat, that cat was a cat laying around the studio. and so the cat started purring and all you heard was the cat purring and brando mumbling something. and they start freaking out. (al ruddy) and it was dark. and it was very unsettling to people on the west coast. (man) i believe in america. america has made my fortune. when we were mixing the movie, he asked bob evans and said, "if this movie does over $60 million, will you guys buy me a car? a mercedes?" we both said, "absolutely, if it makes $60 million, we'll buy you a mercedes." the day the movie did $60 million and one dollar, i got a call from the president of mercedes-benz north america, who wanted to substantiate that in fact i was going to pay half for a special car that mr. coppola had ordered. and i said, "had ordered?" he said, "we're only going to build three next year. one for franco and for the pope an
