Το 1973, ο Marlon Brando απέρριψε το Όσκαρ του για τον Νονό για να επιτρέψει στον Sacheen Littlefeather να διαμαρτυρηθεί για την απεικόνιση των ιθαγενών Αμερικανών από το Χόλιγουντ. (Η Littlefeather πέθανε στο σπίτι της στο Novato της Καλιφόρνια, στις 2 Οκτωβρίου 2022, σε ηλικία 75 ετών.)
I heard years later Brando wanted his Oscar but they would not give it to him.He should of had her except it for him and she stil could of made her speech.
Praying for you and praying in my meditation
Who cares! It’s film…
🙏
John Wayne had it right.
💜
RIP
oh… RIP Littlefeather
RIP

😝
Never knew she lived so close; I would have liked a visit before she graduated to her next life
She had a name. Why make it so fast
And did she look noble doing it too! I’m glad that Marlon let her take the platform and I’m glad that the Oscar’s finally apologized.
♥️

Rest In Peace lovely lady. ✨🤗✨
RIP Littlefeather!
Sorry she’s gone. Great lady.
Condolences to the family ❤️
I had just heard her on the radio talking about all of this about a month ago! RIP❤️
Amazing. I was just reading about her and this whole incident just a few days ago. I don’t remember it happening at the time and I only learned about it recently.
Funny, many opinions and nobody knows what she protested
You may like or dislike the actor, but remember he was an actor (and an activist). Yes, Brando was another Hollywood feel-gooder who magnanimously rejected his award which he earned & politicized it for his own.
A Warrior Princess got her wings. Bless you my First Nations Sister
Such solid and positive standing makes difference …
I remember that night when she got up there and spoke. That was unheard of at the time.
She was always an icon to me. I learned about her in university. Beautiful, powerful, RIP.
She was a good women
She was an exemplary lady that’s a beautiful role model for standing up for yourself and not compromising. Her story will live on, and in a world where people look to complain or create drama for attention she will be a beautiful beam of truth. Her story is heels dug in and class. What an amazing role model for our youth!
& there was a bad behave of the elite audience in this time was so disappointed
A true woman warrior LH&R ❤️
Almost 50 yrs of humiliation and racism towards her and lost of a career that she loved. Maybe now she has peace. RIP.
. You were in a league of your own. RIP beautiful lady
John Wayne attaching this woman or being restrained from assaulting her, the story is pure fantasy it never happened.
RIP strong, brave Sacheen Littlefeather. 🌟
I worked with her in Cali. That was a longtime ago. I remember she never wanted to say she was Native American.😜
I remember watching. I thought Brando did the right thing. But she sacrificed her future! RIP
