To 20 years, it leaves to New York where it is registered at
the prestigious school of dramatic art Actor' S Studio. The
Marlon young person burns the boards in 1947 in Broadway in
"a tram named desire", which opens the doors of Hollywood
to him.
In 1950, it makes its beginnings with the large screen with
"They were men" of Fred Zinneman, before being directed
in 1951par Elia Kazan for the turning of "a tram named
desire", film which will révèlera it in the

"On the quays" of Elia Kazan.
After a series of
poor productions in the years 1960, its career is started again
in 1972 thanks to the role of Gift Corleone in "the godfather"
of Francis Ford Coppola, which gives him a second Oscar. But
it sends to receive it one presumedly Amerindian - makes a Hispanic
actress of it - to protest against the way in which Hollywood
treats the Indians.
It is as in 1972 as it is noticed for its sulfurous service
in "the Last tango in Paris" of Bernardo Bertolucci.
Already Marlon is sick and fights against its own demons, it
moves away more and more from Hollywood to take refuge in French
Polynesia with which it fell in love during turning with "Revolted
with Bounty".
