Brando manager claims against estate

Former business manager of the late Marlon Brando has filed a $3.5 (£1.8m) claim against his estate for alleged sexual harassment and breach of contract, reports the LA Times.

Jo Ann Corrales claims that Brando "caused a hostile work environment due to his continuous acts of sexual harassment" during her period of employment with the A Streetcar Named Desire actor.

She also seeks commission on revenues earned by the star, and fees owed to her for her role as executor of his will. However, she was removed from this position shortly before his death from lung failure on July 1.

Other ex-employees have become claimants against Brando's estate including his caretaker and his PA after his will stipulated nine children as its beneficiaries.
