...peer. "He gave us our freedom," says Jack Nicholson. Brando himself is stubborn about his freedom-to champion unpopular causes, to choose his own scripts and, above all, to lead a very private life on the island of Tetiaroa, 30 miles north of Tahiti. There last week, TIME Correspondent Leo Janos became the first American journalist to interview Brando in his isolated tropical paradise...
...last December Producer Alberto Grimaldi canceled Casanova in mid-filming, blaming Fellini's extravagance: $7 million had already been spent, roughly two-thirds of the picture shot. Fellini sued and a Roman judge found that the director had not been spendthrift. Production resumed, and last week TIME Correspondent Leo Janos visited the set outside Rome. His report...

Authorities suspect that for most of the past 20 years in at least 26 states, he has cashed bad checks almost once a day, fleecing the credulous of close to $1 million. Now Thompson's spectacular career has come to an end. When he tried to cash a phony $93.40 payroll check at a small hotel in Rantoul, Ill., the manager's wife grew suspicious and stalled him while...
