Brando wants an island farewell

The 80-year-old actor is in poor health and fears the end is near, friends say. Brando wants the private island, where his son Simon Tehotu and exlove Teriipia are the only inhabitants, to be his final resting place.

The Godfather star fell in love with Tetiaroa - part of Tahiti chain - during the 1970s. 'It's sad to see him so ill. Everyone who loves him fears these are his last days,' a friend said.
