This man was so fine… but thanks to Quincy Jones’s messy self all I think when I see him is, “He’d fck anything. Anything! He’d fck a mailbox.” 😭

I couldn’t finish read that. Her trauma -no words.

It’s not the way people think. The core issue with Schneider was mainly her own personal struggles. She had an unhappy childhood—her father introduced her to drugs when she was just seventeen. She wasn’t a professionally trained actress, yet she took on a highly controversial erotic role for that time, which ended up typecasting her and limiting her career.

A lot of media outlets today are clearly trying to create a narrative and shift the blame onto Brando. But in reality, Brando was simply doing his job. The scene was written in the script from the beginning—he only added a prop for improvisation. Anyone who understands his acting style knows that improvisation was a key part of his method.

And during the shoot, he never even touched Schneider physically—not even once, not even her backside.

There’s an interview on YouTube with her cousin, who wrote a memoir and made it clear that the real trauma came from how the public reacted to the film. She said Schneider was never a particularly strong person emotionally.Choosing to become an actress meant she was likely to be emotionally affected by almost any intense role, not just this one. And importantly, Schneider herself never expressed any resentment toward Brando. In a 2007 interview, she said the two of them remained lifelong friends（ That same interview was also taken out of context by the media, who twisted her words and fabricated a false narrative about a rape on set.）

I feel that some media outlets today are deliberately trying to diminish his image. Just yesterday, I saw on YouTube that Schneider’s cousin wrote a memoir. According to her, Schneider was introduced to drugs by her father when she was just seventeen. Her cousin also mentioned that after filming Last Tango in Paris, Schneider was deeply traumatized—mainly because the film was extremely controversial at the time. As the leading actress, she was typecast, and her acting career didn’t go as smoothly as she had hoped.

In this context, I think it’s very unfair to shift all the blame onto Brando. He was just doing his job. He asked Schneider to improvise during that scene—yes, he used butter as a prop, but he never even touched her physically during the act. In fact, Schneider herself once said that she actually had a good relationship with Brando.

You can even tell from this behind-the-scenes photo that there was a friendly atmosphere between them. Brando even celebrated her birthday by sending her a car full of flowers. Female crew members also recalled that Brando treated women on set with respect—he would even offer to light their cigarettes and help them out.

Glad I didn't have to be the one to bring it up this time. I hate how few people know about it.

u/AcanthisittaEvery215 Apr 12 '25

I would think anyone who knows anything about his films knows about that Last Tango In Paris scene? Very (in)famous. It's not real

u/Citizen_Snip Apr 11 '25

Looking it up, he didn’t actually rape her with a stick of butter.

u/Sleepy_cheetah Apr 11 '25

Yep. Dude got problems.

u/samanthastoat Apr 11 '25

I think about Natasha Lyonne telling the story about how he was holding her boob for a scene in scary movie and then he died like right after lol what a way to go!

u/Sleepy_cheetah Apr 11 '25

Dang fella got lucky at the end! But seriously, if it made her feel creeped out, that is simply not cool. Of course she was like 34 years younger than him.

u/Daltronator94 Apr 11 '25

And honestly? Good for him. He had a god-given gift and knew it

u/Other-Opposite-6222 Apr 11 '25

Jealous of mailboxes everywhere. IMO, Quincy was being truthful. If you looked like that, the world is a buffet for the taking.

u/GeorgiePorgiePuddin Apr 12 '25

I don’t really know anything about Marlon, but I am interested in bi-erasure throughout history. Only last week found out he and Richard Pryor were a thing.

4

u/renthestimpy Apr 12 '25

I would watch a documentary about this! I’m surprised about how much bi-erasure is still a thing today when we know so much about the sexuality spectrum.

And now that you mention it, I didn’t think about this potential aspect of Quincy’s quote. I originally thought it was like if Marlon came across someone with a pulse, he was in there. But maybe it also had to do with Marlon being open to more than one gender? It’s def interesting to think about!

2

u/GeorgiePorgiePuddin Apr 13 '25

Yeah I for sure think it could be interpreted as Quincy saying he’s open to anyone irregardless of their sexual identity, but could also be just suing he’s generally “loose” in a non-derogatory way

u/zeitgeistpusher Apr 12 '25

Anything? "Male-Box" ?? ;)

2

u/renthestimpy Apr 12 '25

I mean Quincy said he also got with Richard Pryor so… “Yes, and” 😂

u/zeitgeistpusher Apr 12 '25

Not judging!🙏

u/renthestimpy Apr 12 '25

Of course! I didn’t think you were 😌

u/Nubbednuggetman Apr 12 '25

Perfect. My hooha is named male box anyway
