Several days before the 96th Academy Awards, a leading Hollywood trade publication has sparked an uproar by reporting on a new effort to restore the reputation of alleged ethnic fraud Sacheen Littl…
Sacheen Littlefeather on stage at AMPAS Presents An Evening with Sacheen Littlefeather at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on September 17, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. As Lily Gladstone is set to appear at Sunday’s Academy Awards, the first Native American woman nominated for a best actress Oscar, her historic moment could wind up competing for attention with a controversial new development in a case that has made waves in Hollywood and in Native American circles for 50 years.
The report has sparked an uproar in Native American circles, and Littlefeather’s sisters, Trudy Orlandi and Rosalind Cruz, say it has forced them to relive the “trauma” of their difficult relationship with a woman they describe as a serial fabulist. But the timing of the inquiry raises questions – including why such a powerful industry voice would rehash the Littlefeather controversy when Gladstone, an actor of Blackfeet and Nez Perce descent, is a frontrunner to win an Oscar for her performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
The story by Rebecca Sun, the Hollywood Reporter’s diversity and inclusion editor, was prompted by documents shared by Gayle Anne Kelley, a filmmaker who made “Sacheen: Breaking the Silence,” a short 2018 documentary about Littlefeather’s life and brush with Oscars history. Sun told this news organization the decision to publish the story is separate from the industry’s recognition of Gladstone’s Oscar nomination.
