Anna Maria Perez Tagle:ON HER WAY TO FAME!

After winning the Oscar in 1980, the movie, Fame, was further immortalized as a TV show that aired between 1982 and 1987 and a musical that ran on Broadway and West End. The story follows a talented group of dancers, singers, actors and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, a creative powerhouse where students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame,

On Sept 25, the remake of Fame will be shown in theatres across America and then worldwide. Filipinos will be proud to know that one of the casts who dance, sing and cry their way from "audition" to "graduation" is Fil-Am Hollywood actress Anna Maria Perez de Tagle.

Eugene Domingo: The supporting actress finally gets her chance at a lead role

Eugene Domingo:  The supporting actress finally gets her chance at a lead role

It’s been said time and again that there are no small roles, only small actors. This is probably the adage that comedienne Eugene Domingo went by in her several years in show business. Eugene has had countless appearances in both TV shows and films playing supporting roles.

For some time in the minds of TV and movie audiences who have seen her and laughed at her antics, it seemed that she was set to get the supporting role for life. Most of the time, she has been the "token" best friend, like in last year’s blockbuster Ang Tanging Ina Ninyong Lahat (with Ai-Ai delas Alas) and the critically-acclaimed 100 (with Mylene Dizon). However, one thing is for sure: in all of these appearances, even with minimal screen time, Eugene always got noticed. With her perfect comedic timing and delivery, she managed to charm audiences and tickle their funny bones nonstop. Her thespic skills, which she no doubt honed during her stint with Dulaang UP at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City, are so illustrious that she has often come close to stealing the thunder of her more well-known co-stars.

Remembering Ronnie Alejandro

"Some people enter our lives like deer slipping in and out of the woods. They touch our earth and we stop to look at them. They disappear as quietly as they came. But you feel blessed for having experienced their gentle presence. And you give thanks that the world is a better place because of the joy they brought."

—Maryknoll Sr. Joan Metzner

NEW YORK—I only knew Reynaldo "Ronnie" Alejandro based on some of the coffee table books he wrote, mostly on Philippine cuisine.

Mr. Alejandro: Setting the standard

NEW YORK—The Philippine Consulate General of New York honored Reynaldo Gamboa Alejandro with the Dakilang Pilipino Award early this year, an award that places him in quite exclusive company, yet again.

With more than 40 years of experience and 40 books along the way, Mr. Alejandro sets the standard for which many arts and culture writers in America aspire to emulate. Legends such as Ronnie (what his friends like to call him) are defined by their strive for excellence and high regard for their craft and aesthetic. Mr. Alejandro’s talent is evidenced by the launch of his three most recent books: Authentic Recipes of the Philippines, Manila Bay Crossroads of Asia, and Fiesta! Fiesta! Festival Foods of the Philippines. Mr. Alejandro’s relentless passion for his work exudes the professionalism, novelty, and expertise that many people have come to expect from him.
