NEW YORK (AP) — Lily Gladstone is the anguished heart and compassionate conscience of Martin Scorsese’s Osage tragedy “Killers of the Flower Moon.” She embodies not just Mollie Burkhart but generations of Native joy, grace and pain. It’s a performance that’s thrust the 37-year-old Gladstone onto a much larger stage.

If Gladstone were to win best actress at the Academy Awards, she would be the first Native American to ever win a competitive Oscar.
