Most disappointing true story revelations

Have you ever read about or seen something really inspirational, only to find out or have details revealed later on that pretty much destroys everything that you felt about it before?

I hated finding out Sacheen Littlefeather lied about being Native American (She was actually Mexican). So the speech she gave when Marlon Brando rejected the Oscar for The Godfather went from being one of the most important moments in Oscar history to a vapid and egoistic publicity stunt. I just can't understand, why did she do it??? Just imagine how powerful that moment would've still been if a real Native American had stood on stage instead. It infuriates and saddens me every time I think about this.

He re-enlisted twice, serving in the Korean War, performing over 600 jumps to secure a Master Parachutist Badge, rose to the rank of Master Sergeant, and was buried with full honors in Arlington Cemetery.

True, but I enjoyed the BOB version of him too. The British actor who portrayed him was excellent.
