LAGARDE JOCELYNE: (1924-1979) Native Tahitian actress, an Academy Award nominee. An extremely rare vintage signed 10 x 8 photograph depicting Lagarde seated outdoors in a full-length pose in costume as Ali'I Nui, Madame Kanakoa, alongside Max von Sydow (Reverend Abner Hale) and another actor in a scene from the American epic drama film Hawaii (1966). Signed in bold blue fountain pen ink by LaGarde to a clear area of the image, further adding her character name ('Queen Malama') in her hand beneath her signature. It was for her performance in this film that LaGarde received a Best Supporting Actress nomination, thereby becoming the only actor to date to have received such a nomination whilst only ever making one film. About EX Provenance: The present photograph originates from the collection of Pierre Goulliard, a French gentleman who, for over 50 years, dedicated himself to obtaining in person autographs of British, American and European movie stars, always obtaining the signatures in fountain pen ink.
