In one of the most shocking revelations in Hollywood history, Rosalind Cruz sits down to expose the truth about her own sister: the woman the world knew as Sacheen Littlefeather was not Native American. The iconic 1973 moment when she rejected Marlon Brando's Oscar on behalf of Native Americans was built on a fabricated identity that fooled Brando, the Academy, and the entire world for decades.

Cruz details how her sister invented a false backstory, adopted elements of their father's family history, and used the persona to launch a Hollywood career. This is the full, unfiltered conversation with the one person who knew the truth from the beginning.
