Larry Kart Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 What a beautiful guy he was -- brought something new and beautiful into the world of humor. As you probably know, Cox and Marlon Brando were close friends from age 10 or so, growing up in Evanston, Il., and eventually were roommates in NYC, along with a talented artist, Richard Loving (also from Evanston or thereabouts I believe, and apparently still with us and teaching at the Art Institute of Chicago). I met Loving and his wife in the early '60s because they were friends of the parents of a then-girlfriend -- her parents (a generation older than Loving, Cox, and Brando) were friends (or at least good acquaintances) of Brando's parents. I hesitate about "friends of" because Brando's father, Marlon Sr., seemed to be regarded as something of a monster. Quote
JSngry Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 Yeah, I've long known about the Cox/Brando friendship, but this is the first time I've heard anything to make it seem really "plausible", is you know what I mean. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I once read that Wally Cox was something of a bodybuilder, and that when acting they always had to give him a lot of costume to cover up his physique. Quote
