Trivia - 3 Mukha ni Pandora

 (movie poster: source: www.video48.blogspot.com)

Charito's favorite among her 200++ movies is 3 Mukha ni Pandora directed by Ding de Jesus under Nemesio Yabut's Zultana Productions.  She played three different characters - a nympho, a hostess and a slum woman which were all difficult to portray.

 

She was nominated for Famas on the same year, both for 3 Mukha ni Pandora and for Angustia but won her  3rd Famas best actress award for Angustia even if she thinks that she did a better performance in 3 Mukha ni Pandora. (April 13, 1996 Conversations with Ricky Lo)

(Ms. Solis accepting her Famas Hall of Fame Award in 1984)

Ms Charito Solis became the first actress to be inducted into the FAMAS Hall of Fame.  In 1959, she won her first Famas Best Actress for the movie Kundiman ng Lahi directed by National Artist Lamberto Avellana.  The next year, she made another record for being the first actress to ever win back to back Famas Best Actress award for her performance in 1960  movie Emily (considered by Ms Solis as one of her most memorable movies in an interview by Mario Bautista in 1978).  Her third Famas Award was in 1963 for a difficult role in  Angustia.  Then she starred in Igorota, a film by Nepomuceno Productions, where she became the first Filipina actress to bare her breasts on film. Her role in Igorota won her another FAMAS Best Actress Award in 1968.  Her fifth win was for the movie Don't Cry for me Papa in 1983 with Ric Rodrigo and Lisa Lorena ( the three stars appeared all together in a movie Dahil Sa Isang Bulaklak in 1967).  After her fifth win, she became the first actress to be inducted into the Famas Hall of Fame in 1984, a recognition Ms Charito Solis truly deserved.
