Norma Blancaflor by 'special request'

The beautiful Norma Blancaflor has appeared in Remember When? a number of times, but she is once more featured in this column upon the requests of her many admirers.

Rolando F. de Leon of Bustos, Bulacan, 73 years old, writes on behalf of other senior citizens, asking to give the actress some kind of ‘tribute,’ calling her a ‘kind-hearted movie queen.’

Here’s Norma on the cover of Taliba and in the ad of Binibiro Lamang Kita, both by circa 1941.

Mr. De Leon asks if Norma’s still alive.

Sadly, she died years back here in the Philippines. After many years in the US, she opted to retire here, in Antipolo.  — RKC
