Iron Eyes Cody (born Espera Oscar de Corti, April 3, 1904 – January 4, 1999) was an Italian-American actor.

He also played a Native American shedding a tear about litter in one of the country’s most well-known television public service announcements, “Keep America Beautiful“.[3] In 1996, Cody’s half-sister said that he was of Italian ancestry, but he denied it.[3][4]
