Lily Gladstone, the trailblazing Native American actress, is basking in the recognition and historic nomination she received for her outstanding performance in Martin Scorsese's film 'Killers of the Flower Moon.' The 37-year-old actor, who hails from the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana and learned the Osage language for the role, becomes the first Native American to be nominated for the prestigious Best Actress award.
When the news of her nomination broke, Gladstone made a conscious decision to be in Oklahoma, close to the Osage community, where the film is set and the real-life version of her character, Mollie Kyle, lived. Showing her reverence and respect for the community, she plans to visit the Osage reservation and pay her respects to Mollie Kyle and her family once the excitement of the Oscars subsides.
