Iron Eyes Cody, born Espera Oscar de Corti, began his acting career in the early 1930s, often portraying Native American characters in Hollywood films. He appears in Bowery Buckaroos (1947) and El Condor (1970), where his performances reflect the era's complex relationship with Indigenous representation. Known for his distinctive look, Cody often blurred the lines between on-screen roles and his personal life, embodying the stereotypical image of Native Americans in a way that resonated with audiences. His work in these cult films contributes to ongoing discussions about representation and identity in cinema.
