MFB came across this story on the BBC's website. It describes an English village's struggle to stop industrial development in their area. Yeah, it may sound like some storyline from some British B-movie, but with one outstanding difference: Marlon Brando as its star! Turns out Brando vacationed in the area during his later years, eventually staying for nearly six months! Wow, how lucky would you be to have such a legend in your own back yard? Very lucky! Caroline Barrett, Brando's assistant at the time, claims Marlon would have been appalled by these plans to taint this "idyllic" part of the English countryside. We can agree with that, developers would be wrong to go ahead and build a big old warehouse right in the middle of this beautiful part of England. Who wants a parking lot right next to their Tudor house?
At any rate, we would have loved to see the developer's faces if they had received a petition against the development signed: Marlon Brando. Nothing says a slap in the face with a wet fish than that!
Check out the BBC's site for more information on the matter.
