Does anyone happen to know who the actress was who portrayed Max Sand's mother? She seems to be the only person not mentioned in any credit listing.
shareI have wondered that myself, cause she was very pretty. The casting of this movie on the database here implies that she was uncredited.

This is to srklondie. How do you know that Isabel Boniface played the role? She's not listed anywhere I can find. Did you recognize her facially?
shareNo real answer here, but Max's mother's name was Tabinaka, neice to a Kiowa man who greets Max when he awakes in the Kiowa camp. This occurs 48 minutes into the film. The Kiowa man gives Max's mother's name as "Tabinaka". Still no name for the actress though.
shareTo me the actress looked to young to be Steve McQueens' mother. Unless she was 12 when she had him.
shareMcqueen was 36 years old when the movie took place, so why did they keep telling him "You're just a kid.". His mom was maybe 40 at the most. Even if she was a young looking 50 years old, she had him when she was 14, or Mcqueen is playing a 24 year old.
shareWhatever McQueen's real age was when he made the film he was supposed to be playing a younger man, it's that simple. Whether it was believable or not is another thing. To me that wasn't as perplexing as him being a half-breed- that seemed a real stretch.
shareBlond hair & blue eyes yet he's half Native? Unless good mother was mixed herself, I don't see how he could've gotten blond hair & blue eyes.
shareIn the novel The Carpetbaggers, the character Max Sand is 16 when his parents are killes. There's a couple of chapters about the parents, Sam Sand, a mountain man in his 30's and his Indian bride who is 16 (and considered almost too old) at the time of marriage so when she is 32 when she gets killed.
shareShe looked 10-15 years younger than McQueen tbh.
shareShe played Mrs. Bagby in "True Grit." And Juanita in "Baretta."

No, the young niece's name was Tabinaka, who according to a Kiowa elder, had disgraced herself and her tribe by joining white culture as a prostitute, who Smith meets in the saloon whorehouse, and to whom heremarks that his mother - unnamed in the script - also was "a Kiowa...like you". There is no stated or implicit identity between young whore-niece Tabinaka and Smith's mother.
I bet McQueen was older than his mom (the actress), but baybe it was his dad's second or even third marriage...
"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."
Winston Churchill
In my opinion they made a mistake by not casting a younger boy to play the young Max. His plot for revenge took a few years. It was his biological mother he wouldn't have been so angry otherwise.
shareThe quote is actually as follows:
Bessie Braddock: "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk."
Churchill: "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."
Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit shootin' smack...share
