Carmen Rosales: Fiery Emerald

December 25, 2011 | 12:00am

The blurb says it all: The year’s most scorching drama — of a woman in whose heart raged passions as fiery as…the Emerald.

Carmen Rosales plays the title role in Esmeralda (1959), produced by Sampaguita Pictures, directed by Octavio Silos and written by Pablo S. Gomez, the actress’ close friend and favorite writer.

Sharing stellar billing with Carmen are Oscar Moreno, Carlos Salazar, Daisy Romualdez, Rosa Mia, Rosita Noble and Barbara Perez in the role of a nun. — RKC
