Caroline Brew editor Leonardo DiCaprio introduced Lily Gladstone at Variety Power of Women Presented by Lifetime, reflecting on their time shared as co-stars while filming “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and praising Gladstone’s acting abilities.
DiCaprio cited several of Gladstone’s critically acclaimed performances in films such as “Fancy Dance” and “Certain Women,” but then revealed that she was “on the verge of quitting acting altogether” when they first met. “That an actor of such profound talent has found it a long and hard road to get this recognition speaks to the unfairness that still exists in our industry today,” DiCaprio said in his speech. “I fervently hope that we’re entering a new era in which actors like Lily, who embody this authenticity and undeniable truth in their own storytelling, take center stage.
Because Lily’s not just an actor, she’s also an activist.” In addition to discussing his personal relationship with Gladstone, DiCaprio acknowledged the actress’ dedication toward uplifting her community.
Gladstone was being honored for her advocacy for Indigenous women’s rights, working closely with the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center.
