I mean it's plausible they just didn't know he was lying and went with the guy who played a native in 200 movies
Reading about this guy i think the craziest thing is his wife actually was a native american, and an anthropologist and archaeologist. Imagine being her and marrying a Sicilian who straight up insists he's a caricature of a native up until the day he died. Weird shit. Her wiki says her tombstone reads "Mrs. Iron Eyes Cody"
Do you think she knew? Was she fine with it? Did she just put up with it? Was she studying him???
I keep thinking about this and I know itd be problematic but Id watch a rom-com about a guy who goes in on a 60 year grift pretending to be native because he thinks it'd impress the girl, but she knows the entire time that he's absolutely full of shit
