...specifically, Native American ones of film...
TCM's screening of A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE (1974) this past Monday evening yielded an interesting actor drop for me. I sat there thinking I should know who played Billy Tidrow, the character whom Gena Rowland's lead embarrasses over his striking cheekbones, and sure enough: Leon Wagner - the once celebrated baseball player!!
It turned out that "Daddy Wags" had been part Cherokee, and this was not the only pair of Indigenous-related cheekbones which factored in my TCM viewing in recent weeks. There previously was Delle Bolton's seen in "Jeremiah Johnson"...
"Tell her, tell her she's lovely."
"Tell her, she knows how to suffer."
