Angeli bayani biography samples
Angeli and I were star struck. Our hearty chat suddenly turned into a whispered conversation. Then, she started walking towards our table. When I first met Angeli Bayani, she sported these huge vintage glasses which were her signature look back in college. If people were surprised that a virtual unknown has beaten the two finest actresses in the land, then they should know that Angeli was trained by the best of the best in Philippine theater.
She started her acting career as a member of the company. She later graduated to bigger roles on stage — most worthy of note is playing the coveted Maria Clara in the Lumbera-Cayabyab musical Noli Me Tangere. She has since become a veteran of indie films as well such as Melancholia and Ka Oryang — both of which earned her Urian nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively.
After a quick look at her acting career, some would say she has certainly paid her dues. It seems that all the recent accolades a long time coming.
This document provides a summary of an interview with Filipina actress Angeli Bayani, where she discusses her career in theater, television, and film.
I was just at the right place at the right time. Fast-forward to when she was invited to audition for this little Singaporean film, IloIlo. Suddenly, people started to notice the petite actress. After a frantic Facebook plea by a theater friend, designers such as Fanny Serrano and Nikki Veneracion very gladly saved the day.
When she auditioned for Ilo Ilo, she never thought that she would get the part and never in her wildest dreams has she imagined that it would lead the way to Cannes. Again, I just wanted to give a good impression because I was the only Pinay in the cast and crew. It is important to note that both these films were entries to the Oscars as well.
