TRIBUTE: Anita Linda continued acting and earning awards well into her 90s

It was a life well-lived for Anita Linda, who charted a total of 384 films in her lifetime. READ:

MANILA -- If an actor had been in the movies for more than 70 years and had done close to 400 films, that’s undoubtedly an unparalleled feat.

Linda married actor Fred Cortes with whom she had a son, Fred Cortes, Jr. She also has a daughter Francesca Lake-Legaspi. Nevertheless, she was asked to report for rehearsals for the next show. When she failed to show up, she was asked to be picked up from where she was staying at that time. In 1952, De Leon cast Linda in “Sawa sa Lumang Simboryo,” for which she earned her first Best Actress nomination from the FAMAS.

In 1982, she was given the Natatanging Gawad Urian from the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino. She was accorded with another Gawad Urian Best Supporting Actress award for “Takaw Tukso” .
