Personal check, 6 x 2.75, filled out in type and signed by Brando, payable to Ibar Settlement Co. Inc. for $200,000, July 28, 1993, with "Drollet v. Brando" typed into the memo line. Encapsulated in a plastic PSA authentication holder, with an autograph grade on NM-MT 8. In fine condition, with two red "Void " stamps across front of check, neither affecting the clean signature. The Drollet and Brando families had been linked in tragedy for several years by the time this check was written. Marlon Brando's daughter, Cheyenne, and her half-brother, Christian Brando, were implicated and convicted in the 1990 shooting of Dag Drollet at Brando's California estate. The death of Drollet, the father of Cheyenne's child, led to charges, countercharges, and lasting enmity between the Drollet and Brando families. This check recalls the highly publicized voluntary manslaughter conviction and subsequent five-year jail sentence for Marlon's son.
