Today is the birthday of the late Anna Kashfi.
As I related in my 2nd memoir,
LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD:
"One afternoon in the late 1960s, the owner of an upscale coffee shop in Brentwood asked me to come by and talk to him about my possibly publicizing his restaurant.
"When I got there, he was busy with another matter, so he introduced me to one of his favorite customers, and she
invited me to sit with her and her son until he was free.
"The lady was actress Anna Kashfi, who had played prominent roles in films like
THE MOUNTAIN with Spencer Tracy and
BATTLE HYMN with Rock Hudson, but was certainly best known as being the first wife of Marlon Brando, and the mother of his son, Christian.
"I spent perhaps fifteen or twenty minutes chatting with the pleasant Ms. Kashfi about this and that. My impression of Christian, who appeared to be about eleven at the time, was that he was a quiet, well-mannered young man.
"In 1990, this same quiet, well-mannered young man shot and killed his half-sister’s boy friend in his father’s Los Angeles home. He pled guilty to manslaughter, and served five years in prison.
"One never knows what the future holds."
