Brando (Marlon) and Robert Lindsey.

Brando was notoriously private and fulsome inscriptions such as this are rare.In July 1996 Marlon Brando contacted Desmond Morris, whose TV series 'The Human Animal' he had been watching, in order to discuss 'the banality of evil' with the famed zoologist. Morris originally assumed the telephone call was a practical joke by a colleague but eventually realised the truth and agreed to meet the renowned actor. Brando wanted to make a documentary with Morris on the nature of human violence. When he visited Morris's London apartment on 9 July 1996 he penned a lengthy dedication in a copy of his memoirs. After dining in London that night, they were pursued across the city by a pack of paparazzi, eager to photograph the reclusive Brando. Sadly, Brando's demand that the documentary should be filmed at Stonehenge meant that it was never realised.
