Los Angeles The Oscars Academy says it will host an evening of “conversation, healing and performances” hosted by Native American activist and actress Sacheen Littlefeather. The event will feature a formal apology to the actress who suffered decades of abuse within the industry following her appearance at the 1973 Oscars. Littlefeather famously took to the stage to decline Marlon Brando’s best actor award for The Godfather, at his request. (DPA)
