Marlon Brando Wanted To Be On QVC!
Twitchell
It's true, people: Two-time Oscar winner Marlon Brando was desperate to sell
stuff on QVC, according to a new book by his aide, Alice Marchak. Could you just
gag? This is the first real shocker since Madonna wrote a children's book!
Marchak swears that shortly before his death in 2004, Brando was anxious to go
on the call-in shopping channel because he had only $9,000 left in his size 90
pockets. He even met with a network executive, though for whatever reason, the
gig didn't work out (as opposed to Sir Laurence Olivier's Polaroid commercial,
which DID surface, blurring the line between highbrow and low culture for all
time.)
But what on earth could Brando have sold?
*His Oscars?
*Attitude?
*Caftans?
*Food? (Nah, he'd never part with that.)
Any ideas?

But unlike the cast of Disney Channel's "That's So Raven!", they
couldn't get enough forklifts together to get him into the studio.....

You're an idiot. Does it SAY TMZ? Would you rather see necon rants
from Clay or "Get the 4th season DVD set of 'Small Wonder' at 25%
www._________.com!" spam? Get lost. This is *totally* TV-related. QVC
is a shop-at-home cable TELEVISION channel.

Brando on QVC: "So, Susan Lucci will move against you first. She'll
set up a meeting with someone that you absolutely trust, like Suzanne
Somers, guaranteeing your safety and at that meeting you'll be
strangled with a Thighmaster. I like to drink wine more than I used
to. Anyway, I'm drinking more..........."
