In the 85 years of Academy or the Oscar Award history, only twice has the Best Actor in a leading role been refused by the winner. The first was by George C.Scott in 1970 for playing the role of Gen.Patton in the biopic 'Patton'. In the 45th Award ceremony held in 1973, Marlon Brando was voted as the Best Actor for his role of a Mafia chieftain and patriarch of the powerful Corleone family in NY. Brando refused to accept the Academy or the Oscar Award citing that the Native Indian were badly portrayed in Hollywood Movies. Instead he sent an Apache Emissary named Sacheen Littlefeather to represent him and read out a lengthy script prepared by Brando which read “The motion picture community has been as responsible as any, for degrading the Native Indian and making a mockery of his character, describing his as savage, hostile and evil.â€
Who did Marlon Brando play in the godfather?
One of the finest films ever-made, AFI* has rated "The Godfather"(1972) as the 2nd greatest film in World Cinema. Based on Mario Puzo's 1969 novel of the same name, was an influential Gangster genre saga based on a NYC Crime family of Sicilian descent led by the patriarch "Don Vito Corleone" played by Marlon Brando.Though Brando ultimately got the role, Paramount studio executives were unhappy over the director Francis Ford Coppola's initial choice of Brandoplaying the patriarch, since his reputation for being difficult and his moody nature had gained notoriety sullying his career, delaying production on a number of films.
On Coppola's persistent pleading, Paramount chief Stanley Jaffe said that he will yield only if Brando would agree to a pay-packet lesser than his usual fee, agree to a screen-test, and sign a bond insuring he wouldn't delay production. Coppola chose Brando based on the Screen-Test in which Ernest Borgnine too had appeared.
Other main contenders or choice for this role were Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Danny Thomas, Richard Conte, and Anthony Quinn but it was Brando who played it earning an Oscar for Best Actor in a leading role.
