“Eddie Murphy recalled his last conversation with Sylvester Stallone – they haven’t spoken since:
― Eddie Murphy: The Life and Times of a Comic on the Edge
“He thought I fucked his wife. He heard the rumor that me and Brigitte [Nielsen] behaved less than professionally together (while making Beverly Hills Cop II), and he believed it. He came after me and said, ‘YOU FUCKED MY WIFE!’ I said, ‘Down, brother, I didn’t fuck your wife!’ We talked about it, but I guess somewhere in the back of his head, he’s convinced himself he’ll never really know the truth. Sly and I liked each other, too, but after the weirdness with Brigitte, it was ruined. I didn’t fuck her. Did I ever want to fuck Gitte? No, she’s not my type. She was married. And married to somebody who was my friend. I’m not that kind of guy.”

“Brando was giving a dinner for some Hollywood guests, and his housekeeper had left the main dish on the kitchen counter. When Brando went to get the roast, he found the platter empty, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Toto (his enormous pet St. Bernard that he had in the 1960s) heading out the back door. Brando ran after him and wrestled the roast away, put it back on the platter, poured gravy over the dents made by the dog’s teeth, and served it to his guests”

“Brando had twelve children—only half of them his biological offspring—whom he supported and whose educations he financed. In some cases, he was deceived into believing that children were his by mothers seeking financial support, but he ended up caring for the children despite this. In others, he assumed financial responsibility for children he became fond of, whether those of assistants or even of ex-wives.”

“Anyone who studies this evidence with an open mind understands that there was a coup in America in 1963, and that the plot was cleverly designed in an attempt to blame the assassination of President Kennedy on both Fidel Castro’s Cuba, and the Soviet Union, at the same time.”

“...the attitude of the Joint Chiefs after the Missile Crisis was precisely what one might imagine, given the above events:
― JFK’s War with the National Security Establishment: Why Kennedy Was Assassinated
’We told you so; you failed to follow our advice and allowed this catastrophe to happen; you then failed in your duty to cleanse Cuba of Communist influence and an undeniable military threat to the United States by force, when presented with the perfect justification for war; and in doing so, you have proven yourself unfit to be President.’In my view, the foregoing events — revealed by the Northwoods documents — are the Rosetta Stone to the Kennedy assassination. It is my opinion that the great disfavor with which the hawks (i.e., the overwhelming majority) in his own national security establishment viewed his eventual resolution to the coming Cuban Missile Crisis was the proximate cause of JFK’s assassination , one year later in Dallas.”
