Here is the text: Late film star NAME_1 is said to have repeatedly turned down his NAME_2-winning role in The Godfather.The actor's friend NAME_3 told Vanity Fair magazine that NAME_4's assistant suggested he read the novel. The actor repeatedly refused, throwing the book at her and saying: 'For the last time, I won't glorify the mafia'. But NAME_4, who died last July at the age of 80, eventually took the role of NAME_5, winning him an NAME_2 in 1973 which he notoriously refused. The actor sent a young woman dressed in Native American costume to refuse the award on his behalf and to draw attention to the plight of Native Americans.NAME_6 told the magazine that NAME_4's assistant realised the film star had warmed to the idea of The Godfather role when he sported a drawn-on pencil moustache and asked: 'How do I look?' His assistant, NAME_7, said that he looked like NAME_8, an actor famed for playing gangsters on the silver screen. Every time she went to see NAME_4 from then on, she added, he was wearing a different gangster-style moustache. NAME_4 was asked to screen test for the role in The Godfather, as studio executives were said to be reluctant for the actor to play the part following problems on the set of NAME_4's previous film Mutiny on the Bounty . In fact NAME_4's Academy Award triumph revived his career. The actor was nominated for an NAME_2 the following year for his role in Bernardo NAME_9's Last Tango in Paris. Before his death, NAME_4 granted gaming company Electronic Arts the rights to use his voice and image in a video game based on the Godfather film and book and recorded voice-overs which closely resembled his role as NAME_5. NAME_4's co-stars from The Godfather, NAME_10 and NAME_11, will also reprise their roles for the video game, it was confirmed on Wednesday. Wrap the entire output in JSON format.
