"Your life together smells of tragedy, it smells of death.” Ummm, not exactly words you want your dad saying about you and your girlfriend. The Brandos were a troubled brood, there's no doubt about it. Drugs, violence, extramarital affairs...the list goes on. While many might think having a Hollywood legend for a father is all glitz and glamour, some people might say the Brando kids never stood a chance (us - we're some people). On a chilly evening in May of 1990, Marlon Brando's sprawling estate became the scene of a horrific tragedy that set off a chain of devastating events.
