Affun, born Nora Cabera Villamayor of an impoverished family in the province of East South Camarines, sold water at a train station in her hometown in her youth. First he gained fame in his adolescence as a singer in the 1960s before moving to the cinema. She accumulated more than 200 credits in cinema and television that included many Filipino cinema classics, and won dozens of acting awards.
The memorable roles included the “Tatlong Taong Walang Dyos” of 1976 (“Three years without God”), the “Bulaklak SA city, 1984 (” Flowers of the city prison “) and” The Flor Contemplation Story “of 1995.
