Marlon Brando, a Hollywood icon known for his illustrious career spanning six decades, garnered immense fame not only for his acting prowess but also for his romantic liaisons with leading ladies of the silver screen.
Despite his reputation as a ladies' man, Brando reportedly turned down advances from prominent actresses like Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren.
