I met Lorna Tolentino first while she was filming "Mga Uod at Rosas" and then many years later on the "Ina, Kinasusuklaman Kita" movie she starred in with the late Ms. Rita Gomez.
Lorna struck me as someone who was really born to be star. Even while a high school student, Lorna T. would always awe her teachers and classmates during declamation and oratorical contests. A natural, indeed.
Like most talented actresses, Lorna has the ability to lose herself in a role and effectively get into a character and leave the star persona back in the dressing room.
I am happy to know that she is back on TV in a guest role in ABS CBN's "May Bukas Pa". Also in the works is a soap with Gabby Concepcion, also in the Kapamilya network.
I have known Lorna as the pictorial queen way back in the 80s. What with Fanny Serrano looking after her backstage and off cam. But it is undeniable that Lorna Tolentino is one of Philippines more important and talented actresses ever to grace the TV and celluloid screens.
May Lorna continue to remain busy in the many many years to come!
