"Billy Zane did such a good job playing the late Marlon Brando in his new film that one of Brando's daughters asked, "Is that you or Daddy?" "Rebecca Brando - we showed her some photos and she's one of the executors of his estate ... and she honestly said, 'Is that you or Daddy?'" Zane, who plays the legendary actor and father of 11 in the new film "Waltzing with Brando," told TODAY on Sept. 17."
"Brando was married three times and fathered nine children and adopted two. Brando's last marriage was to Tarita Teriipaia, a French Polynesian actor whom he met in Tahiti while filming a movie. In "Waltzing with Brando," Zane plays the Hollywood star during the 1970s, when Brando dreamed of opening a sustainable luxury resort on his privately owned island in Tahiti, to the skepticism of his hired architect Bernard Judge. While Brando never achieved the dream in his lifetime, The Brando Resort opened in 2014."
