Marlon Brando, 1950. Photo by Philippe Halsman. “I have read the play [Orpheus Descending] three times since yesterday and am going to read it again. I think that it is the best play that you have done so far. I have been afraid for you sometimes, because success sings a deadly lullaby to most people. Success is a real and subtle whore, who would like nothing better than to catch you sleeping and bite your cock off.” -Brando, in a 1955 letter to Tennessee Williams (full letter here)(via)
