Alleged marriage to Tarita Teriipaia[edit]

The article claims that Brando was married to Tarita Teriipaia from 1962 to 1972, but does not cite a source. And this 1970 source [1] says the opposite, namely that Brando and Teriipaia were not married at that time - it reads "Tarita Teriipaia admitted Marlon Brando now wanted to marry her. "But it's better this way", she said. "This way your man stays glued to you".

The fact that Brando married Movita Castaneda in 1960 and the marriage was annulled in 1968 because it was discovered that Movita Castaneda had not obtained a divorce from her first husband is sourced.

I believe that Tarita Teriipaia should be listed as a partner in the infobox, not as a married spouse; and the "Personal life" section should be modified too. 82.78.48.160 (talk) 01:26, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

German Ancestry[edit]
