Marlene Daudén (born 1941 in Philippines) is considered one of the greatest Filipina drama actresses of all time. She achieved her legendary status as a film thespian during her film career that spanned from the 1950s up to the 1970s. During the height of her fame, she was one of the most bankable stars of Sampaguita Pictures, which used to be one of the leading Philippine movie studios of the era. Born to a Spanish-Irish father and a Spanish mother, Marlene graduated from Saint Scholastica's College in León Guinto Street, Malate, Manila. In the beginning, she was entirely a stranger to Tagalog, then the main dialect used for mainstream Filipino movies because Marlene only spoke English at school and Spanish at home. When she was discovered, this proved to be the one hurdle she had to overcome before becoming a bankable star. Nevertheless, with the help of Rosa Mía and her sacrifices from attending social functions while memorizing her Tagalog lines in between filming sessions, she was able to ace her acting career. Marlene started out doing bit parts until she was cast in heavy supporting roles such as the black sheep sister of Paraluman in ''Anino ni Bathala'' in 1958, where she won her first the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Award. With her newfound popularity and her recent FAMAS victory, she was then cast as the lead star in her first leading role in the movie ''Rosa Rossini''. After Sampaguita Pictures declined in the 1960s, she became a freelance actress, giving her more freedom to choose more challenging dramatic roles and winning awards in the process. Marlene will forever be remembered in Philippine film history as the first Filipino thespian ever to win five acting awards from the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS), which was the only film award-giving body in the Philippines during her time. She won Best Supporting Actress for her roles in the films ''Anino ni Bathala'', ''Kamandag'' and ''Sapagkat Kami'y Tao Lamang''. She also won two Best Actress awards for the films ''Sa Bawat Pintig ng Puso'' and ''Kapag Puso'y Sinugatan''. She was also nominated by the FAMAS for an additional times: Best Actress for ''Mila Rosa'', where she won. She was nominated for Best Actress ''Alipin ng Busabos'', and ''Babae, Ikaw ang Dahilan'', where she won again. Marlene made her last film in 1978 entitled ''Kung Kaya Mo, Kaya Ko Rin'' with Christopher de Leon, after which she went home to the United States. She also appeared in ''Combat Killers'' with Leopoldo Salcedo and the film was released as a class B movie in the United States. She is currently married to former De La Salle Green Archer basketball star Ernesto "Nonggoy" Hernaez, with whom she has three children. They now reside in California. Her granddaughter Chloe is a former beauty queen. ==Filmography== *1957 - Mga Ligaw na Bulaklak *1957 - Gabi at Araw *1957 - Eternally *1958 - Kundiman ng Puso *1958 - Anino ni Bathala *1958 - Silveria *1958 - Mapait na Lihim *1958 - Berdaderong Ginto *1958 - Alaalang Banal *1958 - Anino ni Bathala *1959 - Kamandag *1959 - Rosa Rossini *1960 - Gumuhong Bantayog *1963 - Sapagkat Kami'y Tao Lamang *1964 - Sa Bawat Pintig ng Puso *1965 - Mía Rosa *1968 - Alipin ng Busabos *1972 - Babae, Ikaw ang Dahilan *1978 - Kung Kaya Mo, Kaya Ko Rin *1980 - Combat Killers 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「Marlene Daudén」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
