New video! Wally Cox and Marlon Brando were best friends for most of their lives — one of those odd duos that I still find fascinating.
They met when they were kids, long before either was famous, and remained close for the rest of Wally’s life.

Did you know that the last scene Marilyn Monroe filmed in her life was with Wally?

Wally and Marlon ended up together again, forever, and ever, and ever…

I learned a lot while researching this one. I hope you like it.
