Burt Kearns took his latest book, Marlon Brando: Hollywood Rebel, on the road on the evening of Friday, May 31, with a discussion and signing at Zibby’s, the popular bookstore on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, California, run by podcaster and publisher Zibby Owens.
Kearns appeared alongside noted entertainment journalist and critic, author and college professor Ray Richmond (of GoldDerby.com) in a lively talk about Brando's continued influence on western popular culture in the great actor’s centennial year.
Listening to Us, Marlon?
In an amusing, and to some, slightly disturbing interruption to the discussion, about fifty minutes into the program, one of the Brando books on display behind the two speakers suddenly fell into Richmond's lap. There was immediate speculation that it may have been the spirit of Marlon Brando listening in. We will leave conclusions up to the reader.
Marlon Brando: Hollywood Rebel, published by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books on April 2 (and today in the UK), has received many favorable reviews. Kearns has made many podcast, radio and television appearances.
