There will never be another Bella Flores. On her 4th death anniversary, let us count the reasons why she achieves “Kontrabida” immortality.
Bella was cast as Tessie Agana’s cruel stepmother in the 1951 film Roberta. Even for her young age she was able to pull off the role and the film was a box office success.
Bella Flores had a remarkable career that spanned 6 decades.
In an interview following Ms. Flores’ death, Cherie Gil paid tribute to her and even went as far as saying that all other kontrabidas are just Bella’s copycats.
With more than a hundred films to her credit, Bella Flores has played villainess to the biggest names in Philippine showbiz.
Her real name was Remedios Papa Dancel but she carried her screen name into iconic status.
Several stories of child stars running away from her in auditions are known in Philippine showbiz. One of the most notable would be a very young Vilma Santos in the film Trudis Liit.
Children cry and protagonists back off when those eyebrows are raised and Bella flashes that “Kontrabida” death stare.
The trademark villainess laugh of Bella Flores will forever echo in the halls of Philippine Cinema.
