Brando is known for different roles by different generations, but his portrayal of Stanley Kowalski in the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire shot him into fame. Despite being the role that made him, Brando once told Time magazine he “detests the character” because for a long time it branded him as a “sexy outlaw” archetype.

It took a few decades but Brando eventually shook the label when he landed the lead role in The Godfather.
