Letter up for auction - A letter written by American actor Marlon Brando to a French dancer and actress and Monegasque resident, with whom he appeared to be romantically involved is up for auction in the US. Described by the auction house as a "rare early 'breakup' letter" from Brando, the letter was sent to Solange Podell sometime in the late 1940s and reveals some of the iconic actor's thoughts on a little-known relationship early in his career.
