****Sucker. That “American Indian” was actually Espera DeCorti, son of Italian immigrants. Even the tear was fake - glycerine. ****
Gasp, you mean Iron Eyes Cody WAS A FAKE? I am devestated! I can never look at movies or Indians again the same way!
I've heard that it was a running joke in Hollywood that virtually all movie indians were members of the A-wop-aho (a pun on Arapaho) tribe as most actors used for those roles were Italians.
