“I want to do the Osage right,” the indigenous actress, whose performance in Scorsese’s latest is already garnering Oscar buzz, told Jezebel.
In the 1920s, the FBI began investigating a series of abrupt and arcane murders in Oklahoma’s Osage Nation. What the J. Edgar Hoover-helmed agency—with the help of a former Texas Ranger—ultimately uncovered in the aftermath is one of the most egregious conspiracies in American history. The harrowing story, first detailed by David Grann’s novel, Killers of the Flower Moon, is now the basis for Martin Scorsese’s new film of the same name.
Were there any particularly striking reactions from the Osage people seeing their history told for the first time on such a significant scale? What do you hope the audience leaves the theater with upon its wide release? One of the things I really, really want to get across to the rest of the world is this might be entertainment, but to the Osage, this is something that they live every day. This is their story. When they came out of the screening, they were deeply affected.
