THE INTENSITY AND DEPTH OF "HILDA KORONEL": (MOVIE ADS 1969-85)



One of the beautiful faces to grace Philippine cinema is Hilda Koronel. I remember her and she was great in Lino Brocka’s “Insiang” and Mike de
leon’s “Kung Magarap Ka’t Magising.” She has the rare combination of beauty, brain and talent that set her apart from other stars of her time.


Hilda (b. January 17, 1957), Susan Reid Moore in real life, was only 12 when she was introduced in 1969 in the movie “Leslie.” In 1970, she was launched to full stardom in “Haydee.” As a contract star of LEA Productions, she appeared in countless memorable movies. Despite her young age, she was cast in lead, young-adult roles in romantic dramas, among them, “Santiago” with FPJ, “Cadena de Amor,” “Now,” “Stardoom” and “Tubog sa Ginto.” She received her first FAMAS award for Best Supporting Actress in “Santiago,” the youngest to receive at 13.

A TV drama anthology titled “Hilda” was launched in 1971, a corroborative effort of Director Lino Brocka and LEA Productions. It was conceived to build up and hone the natural talent of LEA’s prized contract star, Hilda, who had then just turned 14. The show turned out to be a big money earner for the station (KBS-Channel 9) and would last for nearly 5 years. “Lino taught me everything about acting, how to be and look seductive, through mere eye movement,” Hilda confided. (From the book: Lino Brocka/His Life and Times/ 1993)

As soon as her contract with LEA expired, Hilda’s career went to a more brighter paths and greater heights and with Brocka as her mentor and in her side, they would teamed up with some important movie projects that would eventually become classic masterpieces, movies like "Tinimbang Ka Nguni't Kulang," "Maynila, sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag," "Insiang," "Angela Markado," "PX."

Simon,
I love Hilda Koronel too. Thanks for posting this. I started a collection of her videos with Insiang, but it looks like it's gonna take a while to gather a comprehensive collection with all the movies she made that you've posted here.

Simon,

Is she still active sa showbiz ? pero faded beauty na rin siguro siya ngayon, 53, na....

BTW, mi mga ads ka ba nila Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, at Van Damme ? si Ali, pino-promote niya yung Ali Mall, si Kareem, MAGNOLIA CHOCOLAIT DRINK, Si Van Damme parang Health Drink yata yun ?

Rod,

Na-revive ang CREEPY ng DARK HORSE COMICS. Creepy # 1 na-release nung July 15, nakabili ka ba ?

Simon, correction lang. Hilda received her first award as Best Supporting Actress sa Famas sa pelikulang SANTIAGO, not Tubog Sa Ginto.

Thanks James! Tama ka sa "Santiago." Just rectify it.

Auggie, don't have the ads you've mentioned.

i've been a fan of Hilda Koronel since 1970. that scene where she played eddie mercado's secretary caught my attention. from then on, i would follow her career upto this time where i only get a glimpse of her as image model of x-quisite. i got a vast collection of her from magazine covers to betamax, vhs, vcd and dvd copies of her movies. unfortunately, i never get to play her earlier movies now like kasal because my playing machines had gotten awry. nevertheless, i'll keep on loving her to such a point that i have posted her face instead of mine in my facebook account. i wish she could make a comeback because it is always a pleasure to watch Hilda Koronel on screen.
