Vilma Santos Urban Legends Part 3: More Urban Legends Debunked

PropellerAds
German Moreno—still harboring ill-feelings towards a "son" who did him wrong—said in his speech at SOP's celebration of his birthday last Sunday, that today's stars should work on durability in the business rather than getting the faster, bigger bucks.

Kuya Germs may have been waxing very personal, but today's celebs should take to heart what the Clover Theater Janitor-turned-Master Showman said.


There are stars who, after so many years, managed to stay in show business but lost their brilliance and got content playing supporting roles. This is actually better than those who just faded away and sulked in obscurity, completely forgotten by everyone.

That's why Vilma Santos is unique. She holds the distinction of being the only actress in Philippine showbiz to have gone through four-and-a half decades without being unseated from her throne as one of the most admired and most bankable movie stars in local cinema.

She may have rested in some years during those 45 years to give way to new stars, like Sharon Cuneta, Maricel Soriano, Manilyn Reynes, Claudine Barretto Judy Ann Santos and others. And yet, when a Vilma movie comes out, fans queue the theaters to see her perform. Because of her box-office successes, she was accorded the title—Star for All Seasons.

Nova Villa had a love child by FPJ




Storyline: Veteran actress Nova Villa got her biggest break in the early 60’s when she starred in the movie Daniel Barrion with no less than Fernando Poe Jr. She seized the role unexpectedly after “Da King” chanced upon her inside the Premiere Productions canteen. FPJ was at the prime of his years so it’s easy to assume that a 17-year old Nova Villa would easily fall for his magnetic appeal. But the showbiz controversy went beyond just a rumored love affair. Legend has it that Nova Villa’s only child—who is now living in the States—was actually sired by FPJ and not by her real-life husband.


Moment of truth: Nova Villa silenced the age-old dirty gossip about her when she was interviewed by PEP in August, 2009. Although she was a bit hesitant when asked whether or not FPJ was her first love, Villa directly dismissed the urban legend suggesting she had a kid by the late FPJ. Truth be told, the King of Philippine Movies actually admitted having an illegitimate affair in his past. Not with Nova Villa, but with former actress Ana Marin from whom he sired a daughter named Ronian. Nova Villa, on the other hand, is still happily married with her husband of 40 years, Freddie Gallegos.
