Did Marlon Brando Ever Actually Move to the Us? the Surprising Truth Behind the Legend
By Sarah Jenkins
Another catalyst behind contemporary search queries about moving to the United States centers on Marlon Brando's children, particularly his daughter Cheyenne Brando. Born in Tahiti to Brando and Tarita Teriipaia, Cheyenne grew up primarily in French Polynesia away from the Hollywood glare.
In 1990, high-profile international news stories documented Cheyenne Brando's relocation to the United States. Pregnant with her partner Dag Drollet's child, Cheyenne moved to California at her father's direct request. The young couple took up residence at Brando's gated Mulholland Drive estate above Beverly Hills to await the birth of their baby.
On May 16, 1990, disaster struck the household. Marlon's eldest son, Christian Brando, confronted Drollet inside the Mulholland Drive living room over allegations of physical abuse against Cheyenne. A struggle ensued, and Christian shot Drollet dead. The international trial and subsequent media storm placed the phrase "moving to the United States to live with Brando" into news headlines worldwide, cementing an association between cross-border migration and the Brando name that casual observers later misattributed to the actor himself.
