Liv Ullmann and Sacheen Littlefeather - Marinations 72 |
|
In 1973 Marlon Brando sent Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse his Oscar to protest how Native Americans were treated in Hollywood movies. She also brought awareness of the siege at Wounded Knee in South Dakota. Liv Ullmann and Roger Moore were the Oscar presenters.
After 45 years, Liv and Sacheen met again in San Rafael, California, at the Christopher B. Smith Film Center, where the documentary "Liv & Ingmar - A Love Story" was playing. They were on the front page of the New York Times in 2018, in a story about protests at the Oscars. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/27/world/europe/awards-refusals.html This is segment two of program Marinations 72 2018 |
