Sacheen Littlefeather famously refused to accept the Oscar for best actor on behalf of Marlon Brando in 1973. Her death came just weeks after the academy apologized for the abuse she endured.
the academy apologized to LittlefeatherWhen Brando won best actor for "The Godfather" in 1973, 26-year-old Littlefeather — wearing buckskin dress and moccasins — took the stage and became the first Native American woman ever to do so at the Academy Awards. In a 60-second speech, she explained that Brando could not accept the award due to "the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry.
In the years since, Littlefeather said she had been mocked, discriminated against, and personally attacked for her brief Academy Awards appearance.Last month, the Academy Museum shared a letter sent June 18 to Littlefeather by David Rubin, academy president, about the iconic Oscar moment. Rubin called Littlefeather’s speech "a powerful statement that continues to remind us of the necessity of respect and the importance of human dignity.
Littlefeather, who is of Apache and Yaqui heritage, said in her own statement that it was "profoundly heartening to see how much has changed since I did not accept the Academy Award 50 years ago."
