Brando's first break came in 1944 when he was hired to play the teenage son in the stage version of "I Remember Mama." The hit play brought him many admirers, including director Elia Kazan who persuaded producer Irene Selznick to hire Brando for the role of Stanley Kowalski in "A Streetcar Named Desire." His performance and the play were hailed as landmark theatrical events, and he found himself being sought by Hollywood. He starred in Stanley Kramer's independent film "The Men," which was not a commercial success but Brando won rave notices. When the filmed version of "Streetcar" was released in 1951, Brando's onscreen career was spectacularly launched.
