Brando gave the paparazzi the slip -- out a courtroom rear window

It's one of Hollywood's most enduring cat-and-mouse games: paparazzi and the celebrities who try to avoid them.

The hunt for celebrity photos has intensified in recent years, leading to some tense incidents and prompting legislation aimed at taming the paparazzi.

But few stars successfully elude the photographers — but not for a lack of trying.

One of the more legendary celebrity disappearing acts occurred Aug. 11, 1955, and involved Marlon Brando.

Brando did not want to deal with photographers when he was called into court in downtown Los Angeles over two old traffic tickets. After hiding in the courthouse for over an hour, he climbed out a back window and ran.
