"That man threw chairs – it was wonderful!"

Said Rita Moreno about Marlon Brando, who got mad when she had sex with Elvis.

Brando, "the king of movies," was "one of the most sexual men on Earth" — much better at sex than Elvis, according to Moreno.

Ancient celebrity gossip from the 86-year-old actress. Why are we talking about her? She's the star of "One Day at a Time," which is a new Netflix show — based on the old TV show that was on from 1975-1984.

Wondering if Rita has closed up shop down there.

Easy to believe that Brando was a more proficient lover than was Elvis.

I have had a Brando fascination since seeing him in Julius Caesar in my grade 11 English class. As such, I just recently finished Moreno’s biography. Lots of Marlon recounted, including that he got her pregnant and generally usually made her miserable. :)

#TheRealMeToo.

#MeToo is just for the chicks who couldn't hack it with the alpha males or lost out to the 10s.

"Easy to believe that Brando was a more proficient lover than was Elvis." Sure. Isn't everyone?

She enjoys inducing jealousy and the resulting violence.

"Don't stick it in crazy."

Note the domestic violence tag.

The furniture is all busted up in the Heartbreak Hotel.

I think though that my partner would say that Elvis was the more sensual, the more sexually attractive. She worked with a bunch of stars back almost 40 years ago, and one of them was Elvis. He gave her front seat tickets and invited her backstage oafter that performance, where he gave her a scarf. It was maybe the pheromones, after one of his performances, but she found him maybe the sexiest man that she had ever met.

I'm not sure that there are any useful lessons to be gleaned from Rita Moreno's life. This is not a widespread problem.

Elvis and Brando: both heavyweights.

Marcus said...

Why is throwing chairs "Domestic Violence"? Maybe if he threw them _at_ her (I haven't read the link yet), but just throwing a chair is "channeling anger". Maybe they were his chairs and he could do what he wanted with them.

Paco Wové said...

"both heavyweights."

And even more so as time went on.

Better than nothing is a high standard. Better than Elvis ... not so much.

I had a high school choir director who sometimes threw chairs when angry. It may have been imprudent but not even a chair was really hurt. He was the best choir director in the state and our choir placed first.

"Why is throwing chairs "Domestic Violence"?
it's domestic furniture violence!
(if they were office chairs, it'd be workplace violence)

If we can save One Piece of furniture; it will be worth the costs!

what about its feelings? Inanimate objects have feelings too!!

86 year old woman ranks prior lovers. Film at 11.

Did she do it with Bobby Knight too?

After all he said you should lay back and enjoy it.

JML said...

We knew a woman who was a Vegas show girl back in the day, and went on a date with Elvis. She said it was the most boring date she ever had.

Bill Peschel said...

I've read a couple of bios about Elvis, and he was a nice Southern boy who loved his momma way too much. He put out a sexy aura, but he didn't know what to do with it.

Brando however, knew exactly what he wanted to do with it. He'd screw a table if it didn't move. There's a photo of him online supposedly sucking a dick. He's also rumored to have had intimate relations with Richard Pryor.

langford peel said...

That would have been WallyVox's dick. They were roommates at the time in New York. The original Odd Couple.

langford peel said...

Wally Cox .

Wally Vox is a bag of different dicks.

I've always been interested in Brando, even though he was an overgrown adolescent and somewhat nutty.

What other Hollywood star bought a South Sea island?

He really seems to have hated Elvis. In his autobiography, he slams him, for no reason, calls him a "Drug addict" who stole his music from the black man.

Brando hated Burt Reynolds too. If you look at his life, you'll see Brando was one of those guys who surrounds himself with women and beta males. He always had to be Top Dog. Never was friends with an equal.

rcocean said...

People keep talking about Brando being bi-sexual, but no one has ever come out with proof they were Brando's Gay lover.

Etienne said...

Most TV shows hope to get at least 4 years longevity in order garner some money on re-runs.

You don't hire old geezers in their late 80's. They don't garner.

If he threw sofas I might be impressed.

Nonsense. It's a violent act of intimidation, an assault even if no battery occurs.

It would be different if he threw them outside her presence, when she wasn't there, but that's not what she describes.

Char Char Binks, Esq. said...

"She enjoys inducing jealousy and the resulting violence."

Yes, she garnered what she induced.

rcocean said...

"Nonsense. It's a violent act of intimidation, an assault even if no battery occurs. "

Only if you're a fucking wimp.

But then our whole society caters to cowards, wimps, and professional victims.

Bay Area Guy said...

Elvis did not get nearly as fat as Brando.
In his later years, Brando started looking like Jabba the Hut. Or maybe just Pizza Hut - you be the judge.

walter said...

"Wow, look what I made him do!"

langford peel said...

Brando was pretty definitely bi-sexual. He admitted to having a sexual relationship with Wally Cox and there is as I said a photo.

Wally was actually very popular. He often gave Charley Weaver a rim job and accepted the homage due him as a pioneering poofter by allowing Paul Lynde to give him a Rusty Trombone while he resided in the center square.

langford peel said...

Those PR's are pretty slutty bitches!

FIDO said...

Ms. Althouse looks like a Nordic WASP with the concurrent sensibilities thereof.

A woman from less blessed situations, or perhaps a less refined set of sensibilities (and perhaps a more realistic assessment of human nature) understands that 'LaPassionata' indicates a strong emotion for the person.

See 'I Love You To Death'

Cybill Shepherd said Elvis didn't eat pussy. Nuff said.

Eating pussy with casual lovers is one route to cancer.

mikee said...

Quite some time ago Rita Moreno was featured by some magazine - Time? Newsweek? - as the most beautiful 50 year old woman on earth. With pictures to demonstrate the truth of the assertion. Because it was news!
