Who knew ashes could be so contentious? “The Godfather” Marlon Brando died in July 2004, and had his ashes distributed among family members and friends, including his now deceased son Christian Brando, who died of pneumonia in 2008. Following Christian’s death, his then-girlfriend Donna Lopez Geon kept his share of Marlon Brando’s ashes. Christian’s mom and Brando’s ex-wife, Anna Kashfi has now filed legal papers seeking to get Marlon Brando’s ashes back.
Geon was quick to release a statement to celebrity news outlet TMZ, “Christian wasn’t close with his family and wouldn’t have wanted his mother or anyone else to have his property when he died. When I found out they were coming after the property, I took some of the ashes I have and spread them in Franklin Canyon…Marlon loved that place.”
Should it be found that Geon spread all of Brando’s ashes, then there will be many more posts to come about a new approach to the ash problem. Following his death, Brando’s ashes have been spread everywhere from Death Valley to Tahiti, according to the New York Post. Now Beverly Hills can join the list.
