Prolific filmmaker Danny Zialcita, 73

Daniel “Danny” L. Zialcita, the director and sometimes story and screenplay writer and producer of over 50 films, passed away last Sunday, March 10, at the age of 73. Zialcita was a prolific filmmaker, having helmed a long succession of motion pictures since 1965’s “Lady Killer,” his debut at about age 26. He went on to make provocative dramas, often with sentence-like titles such as 1970’s “Ina Ko, Patawarin Mo Ako, Ako’y Nagugutom.” He also dabbled in sexy flicks, such as “Gutom” and “Hidhid” in the early ’70s. Zialcita is survived by his wife, former actress Leonor Vergara, and their 3 children, which include daughter Beth and son Michael.
