Marlon Brando was born ninety years ago, and though he is best known as an icon of the 1950s—the Biker in The Wild One; the New Jersey longshoreman in On The Waterfront—and 1970s—the Godfather; the subversive Colonel Kurtz of Apocalypse Now—the man behind the image would have been very much at home in 2014.

Brando was devoted to innovation: one of the first in Hollywood to own a personal computer, he used his private island in Tahiti to test methods of sustainability, from ocean-farming and discovering new food sources to air-conditioning via seawater technology. An avid reader of popular science, he recognized the democratizing potential of the information age to reach across cultural boundaries.

Brando’s films will endure for generations to come. What we have begun to learn since his death in 2004 is how much this had to do with the values and aspirations of the man who starred in them.
