Synopsis
Nobody dealt with fame, career and family like these two.
“They were great friends of mine for years, and I worked with both of them on many projects, writing the screenplays that were to be their final starring roles. Marlon’s film got made – because he was Marlon. Gerg’s film was another story entirely, just as Greg was.”
MARLON & GREG is the true story of two legends in their final years, told by someone who was there, in the families and the film industry. He was in the middle of a pair of grand lions who lived and made their exits on their own terms.
