Marlon Brando was stunned when he met Indian princess and actress Anna Kashfi. He said of her, "She is probably the most beautiful woman I have ever met." Marlon married Anna Kashfi in 1957. He did so in the belief that she was of Indian descent and blue blood. In fact, her name was Joan O'Callaghan in India, but she lived in Wales and worked in a butcher's shop, she thought she had a better pass and was more exotic if she presented herself like that in Hollywood, and her marriage to Brand was her springboard.
She lied to Brando about her true identity and dressed like an Indian, since Brando loved exotic women. They divorced in 1959, after the birth of their son Christian Brand. It seems that for one of the most beautiful women of the 20th century, the divorce from Marlon Brand in 1959 was fatal and that she paid dearly for her lie, after which her acting career fell silent.
Their son Christian Brando attracted the attention of the world media when he killed Doug Drolet, the lover of his half-sister Cheyenne Brando, on May 16, 1990, who complained to him that he was physically abusing her. He pleaded guilty, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, of which he served almost five and a half and then released.
His half-sister committed suicide at the age of 25, and Christian Brando died in 2008 at the age of 50.
In 1989, Cheyenne was seriously injured in a car accident when she crashed a jeep she was driving after her father did not allow her to visit while filming Bruco in Toronto. She suffered a broken jaw, torn under the eye and a torn ear. Marlon Brando flew the cheyenne to Los Angeles for extensive reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. The accident successfully ended her modeling career. After the accident, she began to experience bouts of depression and suicide attempts.
