Wonder what the comments of others than the Guild were at the time.

John Wayne's friends claimed that that never happened even though Sacheen said that she witnessed it. What can't be denied is that Frank Sinatra had a meltdown and claimed that she was just an actress and not a real American Indian at all.

the movie from which Brando won that Oscar.
