To the Philippine movie industry, her name was very synonymous in the 1990s especially when she was doing a modernized version of a super-hero classic called, "Darna" (the Philippines' equivalent to Wonder Woman). Anjanette Abayari was met with success and being known to many. Seemed that things were going her way. However, her stardom seemed to be in the dust after 2000, especially after President Estrada banned her from the country because of drug-related matters and that the government were looking for celebrities harboring in drugs. Her arrest happened in Guam. However, in an online article HERE, she denied using drugs and that there were traces of drugs found in her make up kit unbeknownst to her. I wonder what she's been up to lately after all this. I was watching a few clips of "Darna" on YouTube and although it is rather cheesy or corny by today's standards, there's still that great sense of appreciation to it. It's one of the best things we can remember her by. She was also the good-looking chick in Timmy T's classic music video, "One More Try" a song that was very popular during my high school days. See young Anjanette in her very best HERE ... I don't know what the future holds of Anjanette Abayari. I hope she resurfaces back to stardom. It's only a matter of time that the Philippines will see more of her again. For now, she's probably enjoying the U.S. life and finding the peace through it all. Lasting images of the model-turned-actress are also found HERE and HERE again ... It is also known that she was a Raiderette cheerleader for the NFL's then-L.A. Raiders ... Come back real soon, Anjanette :-)
