Monang Carvajal (born Patrocinio Tagaroma Carvajal; 1898 – June 22, 1980) was a Filipina film actress best known for her roles in thriller and horror movies. She was dubbed the "Queen of Horror Pictures".〔 ==Biography== Carvajal was born in Manila in 1898, the daughter of Spanish Zarzuela actors, Don Jose Carvajal and Patrocinio Tagaroma de Carvajal. By the age of four, she was appearing on stage, appearing alongside her parents. In her teens, she was touring the bodabil circuit together with Manuel Silos as a comedy duo known as "Monang & Sano". Silos would later become a prominent film director.〔 Carvajal made her film debut in 1920, in the silent film ''El Trust de los Tenorios''. Soon, she found herself frequently cast in horror films, often as a monster, a witch (''mangkukulam'') or some other supernatural being.〔 Along her roles in this vein were in such films as ''Sumpa ng Aswang'' (1935), ''Gamu-Gamong Naging Lawin'' (1937), ''Halimaw'' (1941), and ''Malaya, Mutya ng Gubat'' (1948). Carvajal was also adept as a film comedian as well, appearing in comic roles in ''Ay Monang'' (1939), ''Victory Joe'' (1946), and ''Principe Amante'' (1950). In 1962, she would be nominated for a FAMAS Best Supporting Actress award for her role in ''El Filibusterismo'', Gerardo de Leon's film version of Jose Rizal's second novel. Thirty two years earlier, Carvajal had appeared in a silent film version of Rizal's first novel, ''Noli Me Tangere''.〔 Carvajal maintained an active film career until nearly the end of her life, appearing in ''Mga Bilangong Birhen'' (1977). She died from cancer at Cardinal Santos Medical Center in June 1980. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monang Carvajal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
