Alberto Alonzo: Gone too soon

REMEMBER WHEN? - Danny Dolor - The Philippine Star

January 26, 2014 | 12:00am

Jess Lapid. Bernard Belleza. Alberto Alonzo.

Three action stars of the â€˜60s who met violent deaths. On the big screen they lived by the gunâ€¦and on real life they died by the gun.

Albertoâ€™s career was starting to peak when he was gunned down in a nightclub brawl. His many fans, some of them beautiful women who loved his dashing looks, cried a river at his wake and burial.

Gone too soon, they say.

One of Albertoâ€™s action pictures was Dinong Dorondo (1965) opposite Divina Valencia, Bessie Barredo and Gina Laforteza. He played a rugged streetfighter in the movie, subtitled Palaban ng Maynila. â€”RKC
