Oscars apologize after 50 years to native actress who refused Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando

Sacheen Littlefeather has received an apology after nearly 50 years from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars. The Native American rose to fame in 1973 when she declined his Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando in protest at the film industry’s treatment of Native Americans.
