Rodolfo Vera Quizon a.k.a.
Dolphy has died aged 83 just short
of his birthday about
the 25th of July in
the intensive care unit with
the MMC or Makati Medical. He was taken there about
the 9th of June struggling
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and confined under
intensive care since
that time. Dolphy is survived by his wife singer Zsa Zsa Padilla and
18 children.
Dolphy has been 19 when he made his very first movie with Fernando Poe, Sr. in Dugo at Bayan (I recall Bataan), billed as Rodolfo Quizon. It absolutely was the dad of his future friend actor Fernando Poe, Jr., who first paved just how and gave him a break in films playing bit roles being a character actor.

Before he started like a stage performer throughout the Japanese occupation from the Philippines. Dolphy was turning 17 when Benny Mack took him in as a chorus dancer, one month at Avenue Theater after which he transferred to Lyric Theater. He also appeared in shows on the Orient Theater. Golay was his first stage name. During air raids, they might interrupt the show and run for cover in the air-raid shelter inside the orchestra section, together with the audience. If no bombs exploded, the show then resumed.
