Gloralea King

mpalmero — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:41:43 +0000

Here’s a short profile about Filipino-Australian Gloralea King. Her picture made an appearance before in the picture for the Model Quest 2007 blog post. I know as much as I asked her in the YouTube video below - but digging around the WWW I managed to find out more about her. Her bio on her website says: “Gloralea pronounced Glora-lee was derived from her parents name, and as unique as it sounds, suits her strikingly unusual Eurasian appearance (mixed Australian Filipina). Gloralea King was born and raised in Camden NSW is an inspiring vivacious talented young lady who has a love of the stage whether it be singing, acting, modeling, or beauty pageants. On the topic of beauty pageants Gloralea currently holds the title on Miss Philippines Australia 2006 and was a national finalist in the Miss World 2007 competition. Gloralea King is currently studying acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney Australia and has ambitions to become an actress in the near future.” A clearer video of her YouTube video below can be seen on Revver.

Joanna Bacalso

mpalmero — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 22:12:37 +0000

Do you remember watching Snow Dogs (2002)? You know, that Disney movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. Well Joanna Bacalso was that chick starring beside him as the love interest. She was Barb in that movie. I couldn’t find anything about her. Nothing under portfolio, profile or agents - even nude searches just turned up with porn sites. IMDB doesn’t have anything from her except her filmography, that she was born in Philippines, so I guess shes 100% filipina? And she’s married to Matthew Garel since 1998 with one child. I’m surprised that there isn’t anything more on this sexy and elegant Filipina actress. Her latest movie is Mysterious (as Sherry Pace). She also starred in 2004 movie My Baby’s Daddy. Bascalso’s other movie roles include Bedazzled, Gangland, Dude, Where’s my car? and Woo. However I did find something. I think she is into photography now and has a business called, “Joanna Garel Foto”. This website notes this in their profile about the business:

“Joanna started her career as a model/actress. She discovered she loved
being behind the camera 7 years ago and started shooting family and friends.
Referrals came in abundance and since then her clients have included:
AT&T, SURFER Magazine, FORD MODEL MANAGEMENT and numerous clients for headshots, weddings, fashion as well as Industrial Photography with Mike Bubalo Construction. Joanna loves to make people look good and she believes
this is only accomplished with her natural ability for making people
comfortable when working in front of the camera, she loves to create a naturally fun environment for her subjects and clients .”

Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of Joanna Bacalso in future…

She was in ‘DOA: Dead or Alive’ (2006) as Ayane (The purple haired girl), you know that video game movie with Jaime Pressly, Devon Aoki and Holly Valance. Her latest movie is more of a drama and is yet to come out: ‘The Other Side of the Tracks’ where she plays Lucinda. She played a small role in ‘Sex and Death 101′ (2007) as Bambi (the movie also had Winona Ryder). Natassia Malthe also starred in some Sci-fi shows as well like “The Dead Zone”, “Dark Angel” and “Andromeda”. She’s starred in many others but too many to mention here…
