Marlon Brando's Last Tango in Paris Partner Dies

Actress Maria Schneider, who turned heads in Bertolucci romp, passes away at 58

Before Maria Schneider, moviegoers had never seen explicit sex up on the big screen. After her eye-popping debut, cinema would never be the same.

The French actress who gave Marlon Brando's libido a workout and raised the ire of the anti-porn brigade for her nude showcase in Bernardo Bertolucci's 1972 classic The Last Tango in Paris has died after a long illness. She was 58.
