Native American activist Sacheen Littlefeather, who made headlines in 1973 by famously refusing to accept the Oscar for best actor on Marlon Brando’s behalf, has passed away. She had reached the age of 75.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed Littlefeather’s passing on Sunday. Littlefeather disclosed her breast cancer metastasis in a Facebook post at the start of 2021, yet her cause of death was not immediately made public.
Only a few weeks had passed since Littlefeather received an apology from the academy for the mistreatment she had experienced.
Was Sacheen Littlefeather vaccinated?
As a matter of fact, we cannot confirm if she was vaccinated or not. There are no available records starting whether she had taken the vaccine or not.
Littlefeather, a 26-year-old Native American woman, was the first to accept the best actor award for “The Godfather” when Brando did so in 1973.
The American Indian Movement’s two-month occupation of Wounded Knee coincided with the 1973 Oscars.
