Marlon Brando's acclaimed screen career is the benchmark for Hollywood's Golden Age. Off-screen, Brando's diet was similarly the stuff of legend, leading to his yo-yoed appearances.

"Every night I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops, or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all."

Is Kim Kardashian's legal drama All's Fair really the worst TV show of all time? What are the best (and worst) vegan cheeses?

A weekly treat to myself: cut flowers from the garden down the road; $7 for as many flowers as you can fit in your fist. And Queen Anne's Lace, foraged where I can find it (parking lots; the side of the road). There's nothing I love more than seeing a field of it: pure summer.
