Various family confirmed the news, including his niece, Katelyn Corbett Middleton, who posted:

Rest in peace to a remarkable, larger-than-life man, my Uncle Daniel. As a kid, he made me feel like the coolest person on this planet—talking on the radio, getting “wake up” phone calls from “famous” wrestlers and shoutouts at his wrestling events. He was the star of the show everywhere he went, but made me feel special. He was taken too soon and will be missed tremendously by the people who knew and loved him 💙

Sacheen Littlefeather, Native American who declined Oscar for Brando, dies at 75, Academy says

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Sacheen Littlefeather, the Native American activist who refused an Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando, has died, only months after the Academy issued an apology for how she was treated during the incident.

Brando won the best actor Oscar in 1973 for his role in "The Godfather." But he skipped the ceremony, instead asking Littlefeather to appear on stage to refuse the award on his behalf, in protest of how Native Americans were treated by Hollywood. It remains one of the most infamous incidents in Oscar telecast history.

Douglas Kirkland (1934-2022) : In the Studio with

For photographer Douglas Kirkland and his wife and business partner Francoise, there are no boundaries between life, love, work, and art. Their home reflects this blurring of the lines itself. The Kirklands never stop working because it is what they love. There is no “6pm closing time” in their world. For Douglas, photography is a work in progress that keeps evolving, and it is in through the use of this space they create a creative, friendly, and peaceful atmosphere that appeals to artists, actors, performers, and personalities from all walks of life.

In 1979, the Kirklands purchased a single-floor, mid-century home in the Hollywood Hills, which only had two prior owners. The home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac dotted with similar period homes not far from the Bailey House, Pierre Koenig’s Case Study House #21. In 1980, the Kirklands added a photography studio to the house so that Douglas could work from home when he wasn’t shooting on assignment for magazines like LIFE and LOOK, on the sets of films including The Sound of Music, Out of Africa, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, or video sets such as for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. In 1993, a second floor was added to the Kirklands’ home, take out bringing the total square footage to 3,800.
