In your opinion, what famous person has the best people skills ever?

During the 1980s, an older Marlon Brando was having dinner in a restaurant with his friend, TV anchor Larry King. A couple nearby was having a conversation that looked, at first glance, amicable enough. “Look to your right,” said Brando to King, “that woman is going to slap that man in a minute or so…”

Larry King didn’t believe Brando as, again, the couple looked civil enough. But sure enough, a minute later on the dot, the woman leaned back and gave the man a mighty slap in the face, causing commotion in the restaurant. Brando had this nearly Godlike ability to read social situations, connect with people and seduce whoever he came across. The world was his playing field and whenever he’d enter a room, he would scan it with the eye of a seasoned politician or conman, reading people’s minds, body language and facial expression in an instant…

At any party or social gathering, Marlon Brando could chat up anyone. He’d often leave with not one but two or even three women. He could talk anyone into anything and both his libido and charisma were the stuff of legends.
