I Coulda Been a Bidda

Bid on Marlon Brando's personal effects at Christie's auction house, including correspondence with a delusional Jack Kerouac:

Dear Marlon,
&nbsp&nbsp I'm praying that you'll buy ON THE ROAD and make a movie of it. Don't worry about structure, I know how to re-arrange the plot a bit to give a perfectly acceptable movie-type plot [...] You'll play Dean and I'll play Sal (Warner Bros. mentioned I play Sal) and I'll show you how Dean acts in real life, you couldn't possibly imagine it without seeing a good imitation.
