Rudy Concepción
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rudy Concepción (1915–1941) was a Filipino actor, who made his film debut in 1935, in a movie entitled Kundiman ng Puso (Song of Heart). His famous partner was a soprano singer named Rosario Moreno.
He was also a notable singer, and had a distinctive singing style of his own. Unusually for movies of the time, his own singing voice was used in some of his films.
After six movies for Sampaguita Pictures, where he became one of their most bankable stars, Concepcion signed a contract to another prewar movie company (Excelsior Pictures) where he made three movies - Pakiusap opposite Elsa Oria, Ikaw Pa Rin, and his last unfinished movie Mahal Pa Rin Kita.
In the early 1950s, Pancho Magalona portrayed Rudy Concepcion in a biographical movie called Kasaysayan ni Rudy, opposite Linda Estrella.
