Now this is rather odd.

Accord­ing to the IMBD:

“Hol­ly­wood leg­end Mar­lon Brando has told fam­ily and friends he is ready to die, and has writ­ten the script for his own funeral. The 79-year-old has report­edly been prepar­ing for death since being told in Feb­ru­ary he is suf­fer­ing with con­ges­tive heart failure.

Friends say Brando has left instruc­tions on dozens of dic­tated tapes — includ­ing who is not to be invited and the finer points of his will. A source close to the star says, 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 says, “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.”
