MARLON'S DEATH SCRIPT

27 October 2003

Hollywood legend Marlon Brando has told family and friends he is ready to die, and has even written a script for his own funeral. The 79-year-old who has been suffering from congestive heart failure since last February, left instructions on dozens of dictated tapes, including who is not to be invited and the finer points of his will. A source said: "Marlon has probably put as much attention to detail into his funeral plans as he would learning a movie script. He hopes Jack Nicholson will lead mourners and he would also like Michael Jackson to say a few words. Marlon's tapes say he wants to be cremated and have his ashes sprinkled among the palm trees of a Tahitian island he once owned. He's got to the stage now where he's ready to die." But friends of the star are concerned he has lost the will to live. One pal said: "It's sad to see him so ill. Everyone who loves him fears these are his last days. He's seeking clues as to what comes next."
