On an Indian by the Name of Joe Medicine Crow (Circa 1950) Auditioning for a Tiny Part In a Hollywood Western and Not Betting the Job Because the Interviewer Told Him that His Nose Was Way too Small

And the director's solution? He hired a bunch of Jews and Italians to play the Indians.......Oh well, better than hiring ultra Caucasion Jeff Chandler to play Cochise in "Broken Arrow", I guess (yes, Chandler was a Jew but his nose was gentile - and, yes, that was a joke).
