Murder at Marlon Brando’s House - Part 1 | Horrorwood: True Crime in Tinseltown

"Your life together smells of tragedy, it smells of death.” Ummm, not exactly words you want your dad saying about you and your girlfriend. The Brandos were a troubled brood, there's no doubt about it. Drugs, violence, extramarital affairs...the list goes on. While many might think having a Hollywood legend for a father is all glitz and glamour, some people might say the Brando kids never stood a chance (us - we're some people). On a chilly evening in May of 1990, Marlon Brando's sprawling estate became the scene of a horrific tragedy that set off a chain of devastating events.
