Description

Uncommon Brando sketch sketches on a Native American treatment

Original unsigned ballpoint sketch of three portraits, a man with long hair and a mustache, a man with curly hair, and a man in a ‘Julius Caesar’ pose, on the reverse of an off-white 11 x 8.5 summary of a screenplay. In very good condition, with heavy scattered creasing and a tack hole to the top. Interesting, in consideration of Brando’s activism on the behalf of Native Americans, is that the summarized screenplay on the reverse seems to describe a film about Native American struggles, mentioning Sand Creek, Wynkoop, Black Kettle, and Custer. In 1973, Brando contacted the American Indian Movement to make a statement about the Wounded Knee incident and inquired about providing a person to accept the Oscar for him. Sacheen Littlefeather represented Brando at the ceremony. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
