Hilda Koronel (born Susan Reid; January 17, 1957) is a MMFF, FAMAS, Luna and Urian award-winning Filipino actress and former singer.[1] Born to a Filipino mother and an American father who was a serviceman in Clark Air Base, she has starred in around 45 films, many of which are critically acclaimed, since 1970.

She started her showbiz career in the early 1970s as a Lea Productions' contract star and was paired with Ed Finlan, Walter Navarro, Tirso Cruz, III and Jay Ilagan. Ilagan eventually became her husband. Because of her natural gift of acting, Lino Brocka took notice of her and directed her in a weekly drama show, entitled, Hilda. Her career got off to an unprecedented start becoming the youngest winner of the FAMAS Best Supporting Actress award in 1970 right at the beginning of her career which she won at the age of just 13 for her role in the 1970 film Santiago!.[2]

In 1975 and 1976, she starred in the Lino Brocka classics Manila in the Claws of Light,[3] which won six FAMAS awards in 1976, and Insiang, which won both a FAMAS Award and a Gawad Urian Award in 1977. To date she has won three awards and received 11 nominations.

In 2013, she received a Luna Award for best supporting actress for her role in The Mistress.[4][5]

In 2002–2003, she starred in the hit ensemble political critically acclaimed primetime drama Kung Mawawala Ka on GMA-7 as a series regular. In 2005, her last primetime drama series was Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin on ABS-CBN with another ensemble cast.

[edit]

She attended Manuel L. Quezon University in Quiapo for her secondary education and finished International Studies at Maryknoll College, now Miriam College. In May 2000, Koronel married Filipino-American businessman Ralph Moore, Jr. in Laughlin, Nevada. Koronel has six children: Leona, Ixara, and Patricia (with actor Jay Ilagan); Isabel (with Bambi del Castillo); Gabrielle (with Spanky Monserrat); and Diego (with Dr. Victor Lopez).
