Comeback Girl Maui Anne Taylor | Photos | Video

She may have scorched the screens during the early 2000s as a Viva Hot Babe and an actress in sexy films. But after two decades, she has made a comeback in the era of social media.

Lo and behold! She has not changed a bit. Talk about having really really good genes (and of course, she handled the ups and downs of celebrity life quite well). See photo below.


Maui Taylor was born Maureen Anne Tupaz Fainsan on June 28, 1983. She was first cast in the 1997 to 1997 in TV shows TGIS and in Anna Karenina (from 1997 to 2002). Her first big break came in 1998 to 2003 as a main cast in "Kool Ka Lang".

Her movie roles in Tatarin (2001) and S2pid Luv had her take on mature sexy roles. It was during this phase that she appeared on the cover of FHM magazine. A photo of her younger self (dare to compare!).

It has been almost two decades before she made a comeback and appeared again in public. She resurfaced on social media with her Youtube channel, which to date, already has 170k followers (see below video, Lie Detector Challenge with Yow on the MAUI ANNE TAYLOR YT channel). Her FB page has 760k followers.

Photos of Maui on FB has been garnering likes (such as the Pure Hot Pinays FB page). She has indeed become prettier with age (plus she has shown substance and maturity, which makes her more enticing to watch). (see below)

Her latest movie is "Paglaki Ko, Gusto Kong Maging P0rnstar", a comedy drama film that was premiered on January 2021 through Vivamax.  Here’s the trailer:

The Boazanian Zandra in Voltes V Legacy - Leizel Lopez

I would admit it. When I was young, I had a crush on the Zandra, who was the personal aide of Prince Zardoz, commander-in-chief of the Boazanian Invasion Forces, and robotics adviser of the beast fighters sent to Earth to destroy Voltes V. 

In the Japanese anime saga (SPOILER ALERT), she is in love with the Boazanian prince although it was unrequited. Until she sacrificed her life for the one she loved, and it was only then that Zardoz realized that he also cared for her. Such Shakespearean or Greek tragedy for a young mind! Not to mention the tragedy for the Armstrongs (but that is another story!). 

Anyway, in the adaptation by GMA-7 dubbed Voltes V Legacy, the young actress who would play Zandra would be Leizel Lopez. Here is her photo from Instagram (credit: GMA-7 digital).  Try to compare her with the graphic from Toei Art (she looks the part, right?).



Who is this young actress portraying the feisty Boazanian commander? 

She was born Liezel Marie Arintoc Lopez in Olongapo, Zambales, where she was a theater actress and model who joined the reality contest Starstruck6 not ease her family's financial woes and also to pursue her dreams in becoming an actress. Her acting prowess made her land in the Final 14. She was signed up by the GMA artist center after being eliminated in the said contest. 

Since 2016, she has be starring in different television series and shows. 

I hope she does justice to her role as Zandra in Voltes V: Legacy. Her are more photos of Leizel Lopez.
