Annabelle Rosales Rama-Gutierrez (born October 31, 1952), commonly known as Annabelle Rama, is a Filipina actress and talent manager with Spanish and Chinese descent. She is a native of Cebu and the wife of the 1960s Philippine cinema matinee idol, Eddie Gutierrez. She co-starred in My Monster Mom with her daughter.[1]

Early life[]

Annabelle Rama was born on October 31, 1952[2] to Laurente Rama and Feliciana Rosal. Her Spanish-Filipino father was a ship captain, while she never met her Chinese-Filipino biological mother due to family complications.[3] After the death of her stepmother, Annabelle moved to her half-sister's residence in Barangay Zapatera, Cebu City where she stayed during her teenage years.[4][5]

She is a granddaughter of former Senator Vicente Rama, who was recognized as the Father of Cebu City.[6]

Personal life[]

Annabelle Rama married actor Eddie Gutierrez[7] on November 8, 1980 in Los Angeles. She first met Gutiérrez as a fan when the latter was only 24 years old during an event in Cebu. The two later met again in Manila, where Rama became an actress in her own right.[5] They had six children including Ruffa and Richard Gutierrez who became actors, and Raymond Gutierrez who became a TV host.[8] She is also stepmother to Tonton Gutierrez and Ramon Christopher Gutierrez, her husband's two sons from previous relationships.

Due to her birthday falling a day before All Saints Day, Rama customarily celebrates her birthday in advance.[2]

In 2013, Rama attempted to enter politics. She made a bid to become Cebu City's 1st District representative in the House of Representatives elections under the United Nationalist Alliance party. She lost her congressional bid to Raul del Mar.[9]
