Marlon Brando Trivia

Marlon Brando was well-known for never reading a script for a role. What is less well-known is that he suffered from dyslexia (a neurological condition that makes reading either extremely difficult or impossible for those afflicted). He was embarrassed about this fact & used to hide it from his film peers.
