NORA AUNOR CIRCA 1970: NORA- MANNY DE LEON LOVE TEAM

Nora Aunor made a total of 18 movies in 1970--- No doubt, her busiest and productive year (Tower Productions was credited with 11 movies, Sampaguita Pictures, Inc. with 4, JBC, FGO and Joy Productions with one each). Newcomer Manny de Leon, being groomed by Tower to be the next teen idol, was Nora’s screen partner in 10 of 18 movies Nora made that year. De Leon was introduced in the movie, Fiesta Extravaganza in 1969, a Nora-Tirso starrer and before the year ended, he was paired for the first time with Nora in Nora Single Girl.

Nora started her movie career under SPI, where she was only given minor and supporting roles, and it was Tower who recognized her potentials and believed in her talents. Tower executives Ms. Victoria Villanueva and director Artemio Marquez took the challenge and invested money to launch the young Bicolano girl to full stardom in D’ Musical Teenage Idols in 1969. The movie was a big box-office success. More hit movies came her way that catapulted her to greater heights. It was in 1970 that Nora was caught in a crossfire in a legal battle between her former mother studio, SPI and her new home studio, Tower as to who could legally avail of her services. The charges and counter-charges that followed proved advantageous to the young rising star for she came out the winner and become an even bigger star.
