Brando on Elvis

In His Own Words

In 2018, Letters from Elvis revealed Elvis Presley’s correspondence with confidante Carmen Montez, but legal limits prevented full reprints of related letters. Brando on Elvis: In His Own Words lifts those restrictions, presenting the complete, authenticated Marlon Brando letters about Elvis—an intimate account of friendship, trauma, and rupture, with surprising new insight into Elvis’s private life.

This book shows a tremendous amount of heart and courage

Description

A major publishing event in 2018 introduced the world to letters written by Elvis Presley to his secret confidante and spiritual advisor, Carmen Montez. Letters from Elvis by Gary Lindberg presented an amazing story of personal pain and abuse suffered by one of the world’s most famous entertainers. Additional letters from Harry Belafonte, Tom Jones and Marlon Brando added meaningful details, but the verbatim text of these letters could not be reproduced for legal reasons. Brando on Elvis: In His Own Words, a sequel to Letters from Elvis, goes some way to solving those legal frustrations. Now, for the first time, the full text of Marlon Brando’s authenticated letters to Carmen Montez about Elvis Presley are revealed. His writing presents the compelling story of a close friendship that survived many personal traumas before a final break-up. Elvis fans will at last see the startling revelations about Elvis’s life presented in Brando’s own words and appreciate the unknown bond that once existed between these two great entertainers.

What a fascinating book! After reading Gary Lindberg’s mind-blowing prequel to this, Letters From Elvis, I was pleased to finally be able to read transcripts of the actual letters written by Marlon Brando to the mysterious Carmen Montez.

I don’t know how Elvis lived through this, but I am forever grateful that he did. There are so many twists and turns here, and if you keep an open mind there are a lot of spiritual insights…

Loved this book. Before reading this book you need to read Letters From Elvis.

—Rita Mattingly, verified review on Amazon

If you want to know what really happened to Elvis and Brando during this time period this book is must read. Once you start reading you won’t put it down. You will see Brando and Elvis in way you never knew. Real men with emotions and feelings like we all have, but you never knew about it. He bears his soul in his own words.

—Guy Cooper, verified review on Amazon

This is an entertaining and informative book for anyone who loves Elvis, though sometimes hard to read because of the difficult life events. The book is carefully authenticated, researched and a quite compelling read. I recommend it!

—Psychswede, verified review on Amazon

Some of these letters are hard to read because of their content, but they contain honest emotion and insights into both Brando and Elvis that did not surface in the previous book, Letters from Elvis.
