Robert Aiken
Coutributing Writer

“The only reason Pur in
Hollywood is that I don’t have
the imoral courage to refuse the
saucy” — Marlon Brando

IN 1987, decades after
my Hollywood years I
received a call from
New York writer Peter
Manso.

He had heard from a mis-
chievous acquaintance that
Ford Dunhill (a.k.a. Robert
Aiken) had been to bed with
Marlon Brando.

The author of Mailer: His
Life and Times said to me -
“Pm working on the detini-
tive biography of Brastdo, and
I want to interview you.”

I had enjoyed many
encounters with Marion over
the years, but was never one
of his plethora of sexual inti-
mates (although had known
some who were) and “...if the
rumour were true, I wouldn’ c
tell you or anyone else, any-
way!” T responded with
feigned indignation.

Later, upon being con-
vinced that Manso was rep-
utable F courtcously directed
him to other, more co-opera-
tive sources.”
