Pina Pellicer

Josefina Yolanda "Pina" Pellicer López de Llergo (3 April 1934 – 4 December 1964) was a Mexican actress known in her country for portraying the female lead in Macario (1960), and in the United States as Louisa alongside Marlon Brando in the Brando-directed movie One-Eyed Jacks (1961).

[citation needed] Pellicer's first acting role, albeit only her second movie to be released, was the Paramount Pictures production One-Eyed Jacks.

European response was positive, and in July 1961 the movie received the Golden Shell (Concha de Oro) at the San Sebastián International Film Festival.

In the United States, the response was more mixed and the movie received only one Academy Award nomination, for Charles Lang's cinematography.

[2] Macario was the first Mexican production to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but ultimately lost out to Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring.
