[Ronald A. Loneker Sr. KA2BZS]

One of the best-known names in cinematic as well as Amateur Radio circles,
actor Marlon Brando, died in Los Angeles July 1 at age 80. Known to hams
worldwide as KE6PZH and FO5GJ, Brando is listed on the FCC database as
Martin Brandeaux. He was on the air occasionally through the years with
his FO5 callsign from his private island in French Polynesia. In an
interview with Larry King on CNN in 1994, Brando confirmed his continued
interest in Amateur Radio. In response to a caller's question, he said ham
radio provided him with the opportunity to just be himself. The iconoclastic
actor was best known for his roles as Stanley Kowalski in 'A Streetcar
Named Desire, a dockworker in On the Waterfront, and Vito Corleone in
The Godfather. He was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won twice.
