💜 Full circle moments with our 26th CDGA Career Achievement Award honoree Francine Jamison-Tanchuck!

Francine’s career spans 50 years and encompasses over 60 films, including recent works like “The Piano Lesson,” “The Color Purple,” “Emancipation,” “Detroit,” and “Birth of a Nation,” as well as the classic films “Corrina, Corrina,” “White Men Can’t Jump,” “Virtuosity,” “Big Momma’s House” and “Courage Under Fire.” Jamison-Tanchuck’s impact also extends to iconic looks for television in “The Wire.”

The significance of “The Color Purple” is deeply personal to Jamison-Tanchuck, having served as costume supervisor on the original 1985 film to costume designer and mentor Aggie Guerard Rodgers. The 2023 musical adaptation, co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey, felt like a homecoming. Jamison-Tanchuck worked closely with director Blitz Bazawule and the cast to transform the characters through a forty-year span with special considerations for movement; the result captivates and inspires.

We are thrilled to announce Francine Jamison-Tanchuck as the esteemed recipient of the 26th CDGA Career Achievement Award. 🌟

Francine’s career spans 50 years and encompasses over 60 films, including recent works like "The Piano Lesson," "The Color Purple," "Emancipation," "Detroit," and "Birth of a Nation," as well as the classic films "Corrina, Corrina," "White Men Can’t Jump," "Virtuosity," "Big Momma’s House” and "Courage Under Fire." Jamison-Tanchuck's impact also extends to iconic looks for television in "The Wire."

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, to a classical pianist father and a surgical nurse mother, Francine's early years in Birmingham, Alabama, were shaped by awareness of Jim Crow laws and active engagement in civil rights issues. The family's move to Los Angeles provided opportunities for her involvement in school plays and costume design, all while staying committed to civil rights causes.

The significance of "The Color Purple" is deeply personal to Jamison-Tanchuck, having served as costume supervisor on the original 1985 film to costume designer and mentor Aggie Guerard Rodgers. The 2023 musical adaptation, co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey, felt like a homecoming. Jamison-Tanchuck worked closely with director Blitz Bazawule and the cast to transform the characters through a forty-year span with special considerations for movement; the result captivates and inspires.
