ED FINLAN, the Filipino-American actor who rose to popularity in the late 60s and early 70s, having teamed up with Nora Aunor, Vilma Santos, Hilda Koronel and their ilk, is gone.
This was announced by his son Martin.
“It is with a very heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of my father, Eduardo Valdez, better known to many as Ed Finlan,” said Martin as shared by entertainment writer Renz Spangler and a certain Rofel de la Cruz on social media.
“Dad, I am going to miss you more than words can say. I love you forever. I’m sorry for the times we struggled, and it hurts so much to see you go. You will always be in my heart.”
Ed was a matinee idol launched by Lea Productions as the leading man of Hilda Koronel in “Haydee” and Mildred Ortega in “Happy Hippie Holiday.”
