If Helen of Troy is the face that has launched a thousand ships, Marian Rivera is the face that has launched the most popular teleseryes that Philippine television has ever seen. This 2014, she continues to make a splash.
It is no longer a surprise that she is nominated as Celebrity of the Year at the Yahoo Celebrity Awards 2014.
Marian first appeared in the TAPE, Inc. series, Kung Mamahalin Mo Lang Ako, followed by Agawin Mo Man Ang Lahat and Pinakamamahal. She also appeared in Muli and Super Twins.
One audition has changed Marian Rivera’s life. Out of the many Kapuso actresses who aspired to breathe life into Marimar, the character popularized by Mexican star Thalia, Marian Rivera stood out. In no time, Marian Rivera was catapulted into stardom. For the first time, she was paired with Dingdong Dantes and their chemistry was and still is a match made in heaven.
The rest, as they say, is history. From then on, Marian had a string of back-to-back hit teleseryes including Dyesebel, Darna, Endless Love, My Beloved, Amaya, Temptation of Wife and recently, Carmela: Ang Pinakamagandang Babae sa Mundong Ibabaw.
In the span of her career, she has done 15 movies and has won several acting awards for her performances on television.
She was also voted as the sexiest woman in the country in a popular men’s magazine poll and is currently one of the most in demand endorsers.
So far, she has released two dance albums which have sold 45,000 copies, winning a Platinum award for her first album, Marian Rivera Dance Hits and a Gold for her second album, Retro Crazy.
Recently she was named Media Magnet of the Year at the launch of this year’s Yahoo Celebrity Awards.
Also, for the second straight year, Marian reigns supreme as she bagged FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the Philippines title. This makes Marian the first one to win the coveted award three times.
On television, she currently appears in the Juan For All, All For Juan segment of Eat Bulaga and in her own dance show, Marian.
You have the power to make Marian win the Celebrity of the Year award this year, so vote for her now! Voting ends on July 12.
