![]() “I slapped him on the face, then he hit me. But instead of stopping to see if I was OK, Christian began sneering calling me fatso because I was pregnant. Lisa says: “We were in his truck and I’d spilled some hot coffee on my legs. At least they can’t say that about me.”Ī few days later, without any warning, the dark side of Christian emerged again. Pops likes you – I mean, really likes you. He was also jealous of the attention he gave Lisa.Ĭhristian said to Lisa: “You’d better watch out. Lisa explains that Christian was jealous of the attention his father gave Cheyenne. ![]() But Dag shouldn’t have told Pops she was on mescalin” (a hallucinatory drug). There was sarcasm in his voice as he said: “So the little princess is coming. “Her face is scarred now after a road accident so I’ve had to get her fixed up with a plastic surgeon.”Īs they rode away Lisa felt Christian was depressed by the news of Cheyenne’s visit. “Wasn’t she lovely?” smiled Marlon, pointing to a photograph of Cheyenne. A visit that would shortly engulf the whole family in tragedy. He told us that his daughter, Cheyenne, her mother and boyfriend would be arriving from Tahiti for a visit. Lisa says: “Marlon seemed to be the only one around the house. He asked Lisa to come to the house as often as she liked and extended an invitation to holiday on his Tahitian island. “When Christian went to the bathroom Marlon told me he did not think of himself as a movie star.” He told the fledgling actress: “I consider myself as somebody who has made a lot of money.” “I could tell, and so could Christian” she says. Lisa describes Brando as friendly, inquisitive, someone who laughed easily, but as she was sitting next to him on the sofa, another thought occurred. Now, they tell me I have to let go of him, and that I have to keep picking him up every time he falls down? I’ve done everything I can for Christian. That’s what they handed to me after the custody trial, a 13-year-old bag of bones. Then the star pointed to his son and said: “Look at him, he was a bag of bones when I got him. I didn’t get where I am by being stupid, and you wouldn’t be sitting here next to me if you were.” Marlon loved her response: “You’re just like me,” he laughed. Lisa, realising he was referring to Christian’s violent relationships with ex-girlfriends, answered: “Not with me he doesn’t. ![]() Then Marlon asked: “Do you two box?” And he made boxing motions in the air with his fists. Lisa says: “I got the feeling Marlon was embarrassed by Christian.” Occasionally, she looked across at Christian, but Marlon said: “Don’t look at him, look at me when I’m asking the questions.” When the three of them were seated inside, he began asking her about herself and the pregnancy. This is the one I’ve been telling you about.’”īrando, who was wearing a kimono, asked Lisa at least four times whether she liked the house, as though he had to be assured of the visitor’s approval. We drove on my bike to Marlon’s house, and as he came out to meet us Christian was already shouting, ‘Here she is, Pops. And there was a smoking ban inside the house and anywhere in the grounds. “He was never to go near his father if he had been using drugs. “Christian told me that Marlon had a number of unwritten house rules,” says the 28-year-old actress. He could hardly wait to tell his father Marlon the good news, and invited Lisa to meet him on his Hollywood estate. He told girlfriend Lisa Cavanaugh he had never been able to get his ex-wife Mary – their five-year marriage ended in 1986 amid allegations of brutality – or any of his other girlfriends pregnant. ![]() At last, the tormented no-hoper who had always lived in the shadow of his famous father.
