Biografia completa
Maria Isabel Lopez is a Filipino actress, model, visual artist, and former beauty queen. Born in 1958, she began her career as a fashion designer and model before winning the Binibining Pilipinas Universe title in 1982, which led to representing the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant.
Lopez transitioned into acting, quickly gaining notoriety for appearing in controversial, highly sexualized roles in films such as Silip (1985), which was also known as Daughters of Eve. Despite the initial controversy surrounding a beauty queen taking such roles, she established herself as a prolific actress in Philippine cinema and television, earning critical acclaim and awards throughout her career.
She has appeared in internationally recognized films like Brillante Mendoza's Kinatay (2009) and Ma' Rosa (2016), both of which were screened at the Cannes Film Festival. An alumna of the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, she is also a passionate mosaic artist and currently resides in the United States.
