Her name was Lightfeather. The young Indian gal who rejected Marlon Brando's Oscar for best actor in 1973. He had her decline for him because he was boycotting the film academy for it's mistreatment of native Americans in films. Half the audience boos and the the other half applauds. 50/ 50 division just like it is today in American politics. John Wayne the guy who did no military service in WW 2. This large man was so incensed by Littlefeather that men behind the curtain had to physically hold him back from attacking the woman. No apology was forthcoming from the academy until Sep of 2022. Wow she had to wait 49 years to get that. My guess if there was no me too movement, she would still be waiting for that apology. So last October Littlefeather died at 75.
Her 2 sister's than claim as they were being interviewed, that their sis ter was of Spanish/Mexican ancestry. She had no native american blood in her. Why be someone your not. God created everyone with unique talentSuffield. our job to uncover them. How? By trial and error. When you uncover one of the talents which there are many, you will know it. You will be real good at it. You take that passion and run with it. It just might turn into a lucrative business venture for yourself. A job you enjoy and you becoming self suffient. No need to pretend that you are something that your not.
Another woman was recently let of prison. The German women prtended to be a wealthy socialite. She hobnobed with wealthy NYC socialites where she scammed her way into acquiring illicit goods and monies. Her actions caught up to her landing her in jail. Trying to be someone she was not.
Last example is Bernie Madoff. He ran a pinzi type scheme from NYC. Stole hundreds of millions from his trusting admirers. A lot of people were now older and list most of their money in his scheme. I don't know what became of them. Authorities clawed back some of the money to give back to investors. Many people list funds that they couldn't replace. Madoff"s wife got to keep a lot of money. Madiff's son committed suicide because of what his father did. A destroyed life for everyone involved. Was it worth it? Trying to be someone your not.. Just might explode your life. Bernie Madoff died last year in prison. Still leaving a bad taste in many peoples lives.
Look for your hidden talents to live a rewarding life that is meant to be yours.
