donita rose? audrey hepburn? nope. she's none other than shirley gorospe, a fil-am beauty queen-turned-actress during the late '50s up until the early '70s. her on-screen loveteam with zaldy zshornack eventually blossomed into marriage which lasted 44 years until zshornack's untimely demise. click here to read the article about ms. gorospe (by ricky lo).
note: pic was taken in mowelfund's paradise of the stars. if there's anyone who knows how to erase the line under the eye, please let me know.
update: many thanks to mimi for fixing the pic! :-D
"But everytime somebody would invite me out, I would say, ‘Oh, I would have to tell Zaldy first!’ and then I would stop. And that’s when I realize that Zaldy is gone!"
ReplyDeleteI'm touched when I read that line. =(

ReplyDeleteI thought it was a self-portrait!
ReplyDeleteShe was indeed one of the prettiest actresses of her time. She and Susan Roces were my favorites. :)
ReplyDeletebat parang si betty boop yung nakikita ko sa pic... malabo na mata ko. -)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how many people look alike.
ReplyDeleteShoshana

ReplyDeleteHey, that's cool - they've a Fil-Am beauty there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful eyes!
ReplyDeleteNow, go look for your look-alike naman. :)
share my point of view: same here. i guess we all get that kind of feeling when we lose someone.
ReplyDeletekris jasper: i like vintage stuff on a moderate scale. i think. hehehe =) hay naku, we can just imagine what life was like then. *sigh* =)
mimi: maraming maraming salamat! eto na't pinost ko agad. =)
acey: hi! sorry hindi ko na-mention sa post ko na dito siya sa pinas nag-artista, pero sa US naman sya naging beauty queen, ms. philippines-california. =)
sidney: thanks for the compliment hahaha! but i think shirley is waayyy prettier than i am :D
panaderos: sayang hindi ko sya naabutan as artista. ganda nga rin ni susan roces noon pa. nung bumisita ako sa mowelfund, namangha ako sa dami ng magaganda at gwapong artista nung mga 50's. =)
coldman: lol me hawig nga kay betty boop, no? =) patingin ka na ng mata hahaha!
ReplyDeleteshoshana: i agree. who knows, maybe some of us has a long lost twin out there =)
the dong: diba? parang donita from the 90's, if u know what i mean :D
kyels: oyez. even up to now, there are a lot of fil-ams in the pinoy tv/movie industry. but i think the actors and actresses from decades ago look much better and more elegant. =)
abaniko: naku, andami ko nang look-alike, hindi nga lang mga artista. hahaha! =) ganda nga ng eyes nya =)
Interesting!
ReplyDeleteAng dami ngang mga retired celebrities ngayon that when I saw their photos during those times they are at the peak of their career, ang ganda/gwapo pala nila...
i don't know her, but she's beautiful!
ReplyDeletedodong flores: ang galing diba? at parang mas elegant silang tignan. =)
ReplyDeletelayla: yup, she is! =)
