Brando's Nebraska Roots

The late actor was a son of the American Midwest.From the Fremont, Nebraska's Community Newspaper:

"Young Brando was first exposed to theater through his mother. Dorothy Brando founded the Omaha Community Playhouse in 1924 along with Harriet Fonda - the mother of actor Henry Fonda - and Sara Joslyn - whose family also found Omaha's Joslyn Art Museum, said Tim Schmad, executive director of the theater."
