Early life and education


Aunor was born in Baryo San Francisco, Iriga, Camarines Sur to Antonia Cabaltera and Eustacio Villamayor. She has nine siblings, including Eddie Villamayor, a former actor.[19] When Nora was growing up, her grandmother Lola Theresa taught her to sing; the first song she learned was "The Way of a Clown". Her aunt, Belen Aunor, taught her diction, interpretation, and expression while singing, and gave her her screen name.[20] Before her fame, she lived a poverty stricken childhood; she survived by selling peanuts on the buses. Nora became a champion at the Darigold Jamboree singing contest singing her winning piece "You and the Night and the Music." After that she won another singing contest, The Liberty Big Show. Nora entered the national singing contest, Tawag ng Tanghalan, was defeated on her first try, and became a champion on her second. The Grand National Finals of Tawag ng Tanghalan was on May 29, 1967, where she sang "Moonlight Becomes You."[21]


Nora went to Mabini Memorial College ('59-'60) when she was in grade I and transferred to Nichols Air Base Elementary School ('60-'62) when she reached grade II. She finished high school at Generosa de Leon Memorial College in Paranaque, a branch of Centro Escolar University.



Personal life


Aunor was married to actor Christopher de Leon on Jan. 25, 1975, in a civil ceremony. She and De León have one biological child: actor Ian de León in 1975 and four adopted children Lotlot De Leon[22]Matet de Leon, Kiko and Kenneth. She and her husband renewed their vows on January 27, 1976, in a religious service officiated by Rev Alleysius Rodríguez.[23] The couple later separated, and their marriage was dissolved in 1996.[24]


Aunor became a permanent resident of the United States in 2008, but retains her Philippines citizenship. In 2011, she came back to the Philippines to resume her acting and singing career after an 8 year hiatus.[25][26]



Career



1960s









After winning the local talent search, Tawag ng Tanghalan in 1967,[27] she made her first appearance as a guest at Timi Yuro's Araneta Coliseum concert. She made her first TV appearance as a guest in "An Evening with Pilita"[28] hosted by Pilita Corrales and "Carmen on Camera"[29] hosted by Carmen Soriano. She joined the evening program Oras ng Ligaya on Channel 13, and DZXL gave her a spot on Operetang Putol-Putol. Fiesta Extravaganza hosts Ike Lozada and German Moreno frequently invited her to guest on their radio program.[30] Alpha Records took a chance on the young singer and waxed her first disc; it flopped but the second did better. Since then, her Voice LPs have been runaway bestsellers.[31]


Inevitably, Nora Aunor went on to do films when Dr. Jose Perez of Sampaguita Pictures asked comedian German Moreno to ask Nora if she would like to try acting. Aunor wondered if this was a joke but she also wondered how she would look on the screen. On October 2, 1967, Aunor signed an eight-picture non-exclusive contract with Sampaguita Pictures, with the assurance that she would be given a singing part.[32] Aunor made several youth-oriented films like All Over World[33] and Way Out of the Country.[34]





Guy and Pip with Maria Leonora Theresa


From September to December 1967 Aunor had supporting and minor roles in six films. Meanwhile, she made several singles like "Moonlight Becomes You" and "There's Just Forever" for Citation Records, and "No Return, No Exchange" and "You are My First Love" for Jasper Recording. 1968 was a less busy time; she only had minor roles in three films, mostly for musical numbers.[35]


By the beginning of 1969, she appeared in such movies as 9 Teeners,[36] a popular TV show that time, and Young Girl,[37] where she was teamed up for the first time with Tirso Cruz III. That year her contract with Sampaguita Pictures expired and she made movies with other studios, including Banda 24 and Drakulita for Barangay, Oh Delilah, Karate Showdown, Pabandying-Bandying and Adriana.[38]


Tower Records[39] gave Aunor her first starring role opposite Tirso Cruz III, the "D' Musical Teenage Idols"[40] by Tower Productions, directed by Artemio Marquez, was shown on September 23, 1969. Three days after, on September 26, 1969, Sampaguita Pictures released its 34th-anniversary presentation, Fiesta Extravaganza.[41]


Nora also starred in her own TV musical variety show that ran for over two decades, starting as the Nora-Eddie Show with Eddie Peregrina in 1967, becoming The Nora Aunor Show in 1968, and Superstar from 1971 to 1989. Superstar holds the record as the longest-running musical variety show on Philippine prime-time TV.[42] On December 19, 1969, during the coronation of Nora as muse of Sampaguita Family Club, Tirso gave her a doll "Maria Leonora Theresa",[43] which reportedly became the most popular doll in Philippine showbiz history.[citation needed]



1970s


Aunor continued to make teeny-bopper movies alongside Tirso Cruz III.[44] They are known as Guy and Pip to their fans. Their biggest film, "Guy and Pip", stayed in the cinemas for six months, had an unprecedented record-breaking box-office gross, and was seen by more than 4 million Filipinos. Adjusted for ticket-price inflation, Guy and Pip's P8-million gross in 1971 is equivalent to P560-million at 2009 average ticket prices.[45]


On April 2, 1970, 17-year-old Aunor signed an exclusive contract with Tower Records and was sued by Sampaguita Pictures for Breach of Contract. Nora eventually graduated from being a teen idol to dramatic actress she received her first Best Actress award in 1972 for her film And God Smiled at Me from Quezon City Film Festival. She was first nominated as a best actress in FAMAS( Filipino Academy for Movies, Arts and Sciences) for A Gift of Love. From 1972 to 1986 she was nominated consecutively for Best Actress by the FAMAS, the only actor or actress to ever achieve the feat.


In 1973, Aunor established her own movie production company, "NV Productions"[46] and produced its first movie entitled "Carmela".[47] She was again nominated in the 22nd FAMAS Awards for "Paru-parung Itim".[48] She made "Fe, Esperanza, Caridad" (1974) another critically acclaimed movie which was directed by three different directors namely Cirio H. Santiago and two National Artists for film; Gerardo de Leon and Lamberto V. Avellana. This is a trilogy that tells the life stories of three different women: Fe, an emerging movie superstar who has an invalid husband; Esperanza, a young wife living in a middle-class neighborhood in the city; and Caridad, a young novice who was seduced by the devil himself.[49] This movie earned Nora her third nomination from the 23rd FAMAS Awards.


She also produced and starred in the movie "Banaue: Stairway to the Sky (1975)[50] which was directed by national artist Gerardo de Leon. This is a story about the tribe of Ifugao and their struggles to achieve the promised land. Aunor received her fourth nomination from FAMAS Awards( Filipino Academy for Movies, Arts and Sciences). Her co-star, fast-rising actor Christopher de Leon later became her husband the father of her only son.[citation needed]


In 1976, Aunor produced the movie Alkitrang dugo[51] through her own movie production company, NV Productions. This movie was based on the novel Lord of the Flies by the Nobel Prize-winning English author Sir William Golding.[citation needed]


Aunor continued making critically acclaimed movies like the period drama Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos. She played the role of a school Teacher, named Rosario, who experienced the atrocities of World War II. Her very convincing performance made her win the first ever best actress award from the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino (Gawad Urian Award)[52] and her first Best Actress Award from FAMAS. it was also considered by many as one of the greatest Filipino movies of all time.[53] The double victory is considered by many as the first acting grand slam since there were only two award giving bodies for movies at that time. Before the year ended, Aunor made Minsa'y isang Gamu-gamo (1976).[54] This is the story of Corazon de la Cruz, a nurse who wanted to go to America to give a better future for her family, but her brother was shot by an American soldier on the eve of her flight to America. Knowing that the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos would not allow the public showing of any films criticizing the American existence in the Philippines, the producers tapped Aunor to star in the film believing that the superstar had connections with the president and his wife, former First Lady, Imelda Marcos.[55] This film was the official entry of Premiere Productions to the 1976 Metro Manila Film Festival.


In 1977, Aunor had a chance to do a romantic-comedy movie with the king of the Philippine movies Fernando Poe Jr. The title of the movie is "Little Christmas tree.".[56] The film was shown on November 25, 1977, and it was a blockbuster hit. This is the only collaboration between the two of the biggest stars of the Philippine movies. On December 25, 1977, her movie "Bakya mo Neneng"[57] was the official entry of JE Productions to the 1977 Metro Manila Film Festival.[58] She was paired to then movie actor and former Philippine President Joseph Estrada.[citation needed]


In 1978 FAMAS Awards, Aunor received another nomination for her movie "Bakya Mo Neneng," this is her six straight nomination from the academy. However, she failed to win an award but the movie won Best Picture. She also did a movie, Ikaw ay Akin, with Vilma Santos and [Christopher de Leon.[59][60] This film gave Aunor her second nomination as best actress from Gawad Urian.[61]


Later that year, her movie "Atsay"[62] was the official entry to the 1978 Metro Manila Film Festival. It is one of the two best entries of the film festival along with "Rubia Servios" directed by Lino Brocka. "Atsay" was the only film to have won the Best Performer in the Metro Manila Film Festival history. In that year, the organizers decided to give just one citation for performers (no best actor nor actress nor supporting actor nor actress award) but only the Best Performer Award.[citation needed]


Aunor was awarded the Best Performer award for her performance in this movie. Amy Austria who played a supporting role in this movie was a nominee for the Best Performer award. The film festival organizers wanted to have a gender sensitivity by stopping such sexist award. The move, however, was scrapped the following year. "Atsay" also received the Best Picture Award, Romeo Vitug for Best Cinematography and Eddie Garcia for Best Director.[63] Aunor was nominated for the seventh time at the 27th FAMAS Awards.


Before the end of the decade, she made two more movies for the 1979 Metro Manila Film Festival,[64]Kasal-Kasalan, Bahay-Bahayan[65] and Ina ka ng Anak Mo.[66] Both lead actresses, Nora Aunor and veteran actress Lolita Rodriguez, were recognized as Best Actresses at the film fest award's night for the film 'Ina ka ng Anak Mo'. The same film won best director for Brocka, Best Actor for Raoul Aragon and Best Picture. Aunor was also nominated and won at the 28th FAMAS Awards for her role. This was Aunor's second FAMAS Best Actress Award.



1980s









In the 1980s Aunor continued to do quality films as well as commercial movies. Her first movie in the decade was "Nakaw na Pag-ibig",[67] another collaboration of Aunor and the National Artist for film Lino Brocka together with Hilda Koronel and Phillip Salvador, both of whom were Brocka protégés.[68] However, the movie didn't do well in the box office. That same year, Aunor made a movie with Mario O'Hara after so many years. They made Kastilyong Buhangin[69] with now Senator Lito Lapid as her screen leading man. The movie turned out to be monster hit. Before 1980 ended, two of Aunor's film were part of the 1980 Metro Manila Film Festival as official entries. Kung Akoy Iiwan Mo.[70] directed by Laurice Guillen with Christopher de Leon and Roly Quizon.

Aunor won her second Gawad Urian Best Actress for Bona, tying her with Gina Alajar, who won for Brutal; Alajar won her ninth Best Actress nomination from the 29th FAMAS Awards for the same movie. The film was also shown at the 1981 Cannes International Film Festival as an entry to the Director's Fortnight. In September 1982, the film competed at Figueira da Foz International Film Festival in Portugal and won the Premio de le Juri de la Federacion Internationale des Cine Clubs (Jury Prize of the International Federation of Cinema Clubs). It was the only Filipino Film cited as one of "The Best 100 Films in the World" by the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, USA (1997). It is the only Filipino film to be archived at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.[73]

The first one is "Mga Uod at Rosas",[82] a story of a struggling artist who is frustrated with life and has been entertaining the thought of giving up his art. Aunor played Socorro, a landlady daughter who falls for the painter who is in love with a model.[83] The story, written by Edgardo Reyes is hardly original, yet Romy Suzara's film is laudable with a bounty of beautiful imagery, crisp editing and impressive performances from Aunor as Socorro, Johnny Delgado as Ding Daleno and Lorna Tolentino in a brief role as Nina. The art of painting plays a central and integrative role in this movie.[84] This film gave Aunor, her 11th nomination from FAMAS. The other one is in T-Bird at Ako,[85] Aunor essayed the role of a lesbian who falls for a woman. Aunor in Himala played the role of a young woman, who claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary.

In 1984, Aunor only made three movies but all of them were critically acclaimed and award-winning films. Who could ever forget the portrayal of Aunor as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) who works as a nurse in America and her struggles to fight loneliness and homesickness in "'Merika".[89] The film also tackles the story of Filipino Illegal Aliens who will do anything just to get a Green card. Directed by Gil Portes, Aunor's performance in this film gave her the very first best actress trophy from, (PMPC) Star Awards for Movies and her eighth Gawad Urian best actress nomination. The next film was given an "A" Rating by the Film Ratings Board,[90]Condemned[91] is a story of siblings Yolly (Aunor) and Efren (Dan Alvaro), and how their lives changed when Efren worked as a driver and a hired killer for ruthless money laundering lady Connie played by (Gloria Romero).

The third and the last of this 1984 Nora Aunor Classic is "Bulaklak sa City Jail",[92] the film depicts the bad and sad situation of women in the City Jail and the only way to survive this gruesome situation is to turn yourself from the hunted to a hunter.[93] The film was an official entry to the 1984 Metro Manila Film Festival, for her role as a pregnant prisoner and a victim of injustice, Angela Aguilar, Aunor won best actress from Metro Manila Film Festival, Catholic Mass Media Awards and her third best actress trophy from FAMAS.

Next was Tinik sa Dibdib as Lorna, a long-suffering daughter of irresponsible parents who drove her to marry a security guard, who himself is the breadwinner of a very dysfunctional family. Her next project was Till We Meet Again. This was followed by a trilogy movie, Mga Kwento ni Lola Basyang which was even stronger at the box-office and finally, I Can't Stop Loving You, an entry to the year-end Metro Manila Film Festival, which was a top-grosser for that year.


For the next three years, she slowed down in making movies releasing only a handful including her final team-up with Dolphy, My Bugoy Goes to Congress, which was a hit during the time that it was released. Other movies she made were I Love You Mama, I Love You Papa, in which she co-starred with her estranged husband, Christopher de Leon and their children, Lotlot and Ian Kristoffer; Sana Mahalin Mo Ako; Tatlong Ina, Isang Anak; and Balut...Penoy.[citation needed]


1989 was a bittersweet year for Aunor. She filmed Bilangin ang mga Bituin sa Langit, about the rise and fall of a poor, hard-working, and determined barrio lass and her lifetime stormy relationship with a childhood sweetheart. Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit is an award-winning movie for which Aunor won Best Actress in Gawad Urian, FAMAS, and FAP.

In the 1990s Aunor only made 10 movies – a far cry from the 60's, 70's and 80's where she made up to 10 movies a year. Showbiz insiders and others were saying that Aunor's popularity was waning. But most of these 10 movies were critically acclaimed and won not only local but international awards. Aunor also did three stages plays, the first two produced by Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA), and performed her first major concert.[citation needed]

The emotional battle becomes a personal epiphany for Pacita. This highly acclaimed movie directed by Elwood Perez bravely tackles the sensitive issue of euthanasia.

2010s

At the start of the decade, she was still doing series of concert in USA and in Canada performing to Filipino communities and to her fans as well. In February 2010, Aunor was shortlisted by the Green Globe Film Awards which was later renamed to Green Planet Movie Awards as one of the 10 Best Asian Actresses of the Decade.[108] On March 23, 2010, Aunor was named one of the 10 Best Asian Actresses along with Gong Li and Maggie Cheung.

Aunor underwent plastic surgery as part of her plan to return to show business. The legendary actress has been absent for years, and 2010 may be Nora's comeback year. She jumpstarted her career via two endorsement deals in Japan and one of them as an endorser of a Japanese Aesthetic and Lasix Center.[111] However, something went wrong, Aunor lost her "Golden Voice" which propelled her to superstardom in the Philippine Showbiz Industry.[112] During her concert in May 2010 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Aunor tearfully announced that it would be her last concert as she could no longer sing. Her voice was hoarse and raspy. Onstage spiels included bits and pieces of information that hinted of a surgical procedure gone wrong and a subsequent lawsuit[113]

Nora Aunor in 2011

Sa Ngalan ng Ina is a movie made for television or a miniseries is a political drama about a widow that ran as a governor when her husband was assassinated. In his review, film critic Noel Vera point out that the show is rare creature in Philippine television, the political melodrama. Longer and more complex soap operas have been mounted on Philippine television before, and politics has been touched upon before, but far as I can recall there has never been a series (the exact name of the genre is, I believe, the teleserye) fully driven by politics, hinging upon the election into office and subsequent administration of the main character.[116] All of the performances were great especially Aunor which gave her a nomination from Golden Screen TV Awards and a best actress trophy from 2012 Star Awards for Television. This miniseries would be the last collaboration between Aunor and O'hara before his death from leukemia.[117][118]
