How Marlon Brando Failed His Troubled Son
How Marlon Brando Failed His Troubled Son
“I think that perhaps I failed as a father,” Marlon Brando said of his son, Christan Brando.

Troubled marriage and death

According to the BBC, Christian Brando, in 2004, married a woman named Deborah Presley, a woman who claimed to be the daughter of Elvis Presley. In 2005, the next year, Brando annulled their marriage, and Presley alleged that Brand beat her and threatened to kill her — charges Brando pled no contest to. A judge gave Brando three years of probation to undergo drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

On January 26, 2008, Christian Brando died of pneumonia after 15 days in the hospital. He was buried at the Kalama Cemetary, and there, his mother, Anna Kashfi, attended the funeral to bury him. She chose Kalama as the place to bury him because it was, according to The Daily News, “one of the few places he felt accepted and appreciated.”
