In 1973, activist Sacheen Littlefeather, who died on Sunday at the age of 75, came to the Oscars at the behest of Marlon Brando and turned down his Academy Award for Best Actor in protest of the treatment of Native Americans in film.
In August 2022, film writer and historian Farran Smith Nehme alsointo Littlefeather’s claims about John Wayne, and concluded that there was little to no evidence to back them up. Describing the events from video footage at the time:
Further, she casts doubt on Pasetta’s account of the event, which differed the more he spoke of it over the years. She pointed out that in one interview, Pasetta said that Wayne, “hollered, but he stayed.” Nehme added that the accounts differed so widely, and there was no available evidence of six security men until public relations expert Dick Guttman and Roger Moore tried to escort Littlefeather to the elevator, and were waylaid by one security man.
Wayne has never commented on this alleged encounter himself, and the accounts that do exist are few, and widely differ upon retelling.“FACT CHECK: Did John Wayne Say He Believed in White Supremacy?” Snopes.Com, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/john-wayne-white-supremacy/.
