It may well be the most outlandish road trip since the wheel was invented: a cross-country dash featuring Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando, in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The trio reportedly took turns driving, with Brando allegedly fueling himself on a diet of junk food.
The trip was not all plain sailing. “Brando allegedly annoyed his colleagues by stopping at every KFC and Burger King they passed along the highway,” writes Vanity Fair reporter Sam Kashner. “One can only imagine the shock their appearance caused at gas stations and rest stops across America.”
