did anyone else notice that Chief St. Cloud didnt looked native american at all. i looked it up and hes a sicilian. i just thought it was kinda wierd that hes been casted in all of these natice american roles, when hes not an indian.
shareIron Eyes Cody, who passed away in 1999, had a *very* long career in Hollywood playing Indian roles. He appeared in films from 1919 onward, and this was one of his later roles.
shareThen why did he play the crying Native American in that environment commercial? He played NAs crazy well, would've never guessed, plus with his psuedonym and all.
shareFrom his bio..." In 1924 he moved to California, changed his name - already shortened from "DeCorti" to "Corti" - to Cody, and started working as an actor, presenting himself as a Native American. He married an Indian woman, Bertha Parker, and together they adopted two Indian sons. Iron Eyes Cody lived and worked as an Indian for all his adult life; he labored for decades to promote Native American causes, and was honored by Hollywood's Native American community in 1995 for his efforts."
Why is it whenever someone says "with all due respect", they really mean "kiss my ass"?
