Macario (1960)

Pina Pellicer was, and still is, one of the most beloved Mexican actresses of all time. She set a standard for realism in a time when "melodrama" and "artificial" acting still ran rampant. She was best known for her groundbreaking performance in One-Eyed Jacks (1961) with Marlon Brando. She is greatly missed. Fans still wonder why she left us so soon.

Quotes
[on One-Eyed Jacks (1961)] I think it is wonderful, and all the credit must go to Marlon's direction. Think what he did. Besides himself, only Karl Malden and Katy Jurado were experienced performers. He had to help the rest of us along.
