Whatever Became Of...Jacqueline Malouf?

Above, Jacqueline Malouf in "Donovan's Reef."

Back in 1963, my parents took my friends and I to go see King Kong vs. Godzilla.  It was playing with the John Wayne comedy, Donovan's Reef.  It was directed by John Ford.

There was one actress in Donovan's Reef who seems to have disappeared: Jacqueline Malouf, who played Leilani Dedham, hereditary princess of the fictional island nation of Haleakaloha.

She also appeared, unbilled, in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. She appeared in television shows such as Petticoat Junction before leaving show business in 1966.

Her petite size allowed her to play an adolescent in Donovan's Reef, although she was a student at the University of Southern California at the time.

Unfortunately, Jacqueline Malouf is no longer with us as she passed away in 1999 of leukemia.  Here is her obituary from the USC Alumni News:

JACQUELINE MALOUF NASSIR ’63, of Toluca Lake, Calif.; Oct. 12, 1999, at the age of 58. She was an actress, artist and teacher. While studying drama at USC, she was elected vice president of the Associated Student Body. She maintained life-long ties with the University and had been president of the San Diego Trojan League, the Trojan League in the San Fernando Valley and was a member of the Alumnae Coordinating Council of the USC Alumni Association. She also served as a member of the board of advisers of the USC School of Nursing. Before graduation, Nassir had already appeared in many feature films, including The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) and Donovan’s Reef (1963). She also appeared in episodes of the TV series “Petticoat Junction” and “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.” As a painter, her French impressionistic-style seascapes were exhibited at the Claremont Art Guild, the Art Scene Gallery and the San Diego Portrait Society, among others. After her marriage in the mid-1960s, Nassir taught in the Los Angeles Unified School District and in a Montessori school. Sur-vivors include her husband, Andrew, two sons, her parents, a sister, a brother and a granddaughter.

A Facebook John Wayne fan page posted the below photograph of the cast of Donovan's Reef. I had never seen it before. Jacqueline Malouf is at the far right.
