"BOMBA" STARS#4: ROSANNA ORTIZ

Ang Magsasaging-Pacing (1971)- Stars Rosanna Ortiz, Vic Vargas,
Rod Navarro, Lina Carino, Jerry Pons, Pugak/
Directed by Luis San Juan

Originally entitled "Saging ni Pacing", but rejected by Board of Censor. Retitled to "Ang Magsasaging ni Pacing"--and it passed.

Beauty and talent set her apart from among her contemporaries during the so-called ‘Bomba’ era. Rosanna Ortiz was only 16 or 17 when she entered the movies. She became a headline item in 1969 when she witnessed the fatal shooting of Renato Pangilinan, a Bulacan businessman by actor Eddie Fernandez (see details).

She was best remembered in such controversial sexy flicks as Hayok (1970) and Ang Magsasaging ni Pacing (1971). One of the busiest stars in her time (she did more than 15 movies in 1971), Rosanna was one of the few stars who was able to make a successful transition to serious and dramatic roles. Versatile as ever, she did in Daluyong (1971) for Ishmael Bernal, Ang Kampana ng Santa Quiteria (1971) for FPJ for which she earned a Famas Best Supporting Actress nomination, Anthony and Cleopatra (1972) for Dolphy and Patayin Mo sa Sindak si Barbara (1974) for Celso Ad Castillo, where she was praised for her memorable performance.
