...Among his colleagues he has no 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...
...Christian (mother: Anna Kashfi), who is 18 and about to enter college in Los Angeles. "I not only love him, I like him. We spend a lot of time together." Another son is in a private school in Idaho. The other day his father made a quick hop from Tahiti to "sit on him a little and shape...
...moreover, immovably eccentric: a gray whisper of a man who lived for 54 years with his crippled brother in a house on Utopia Parkway in Queens, N.Y.- an exile more singular than any expatriation to Tahiti.
