Marlon Brando

1973 Academy Awards ceremony

Tuesday Mar 27, 1973
Los Angeles, California, U.S.

At the 1973 Academy Awards ceremony, Brando refused to accept the Oscar for his performance in The Godfather. Sacheen Littlefeather represented him at the ceremony. She appeared in full Apache attire and stated that owing to the "poor treatment of Native Americans in the film industry", Brando would not accept the award.
