Julius Angel Abad Ilagan (January 20, 1955 – February 4, 1992) was a Filipino actor. He hosted ''Stop, Look and Listen'' and starred in ''My Son, My Son'' and '' Goin' Bananas'', and starred and participated in a number of movies. Born Julius Abad Ilagan on January 20, 1955, his good looks eventually made him a matinee idol, starring in the films ''Maruja'' (1967), '' Tubog Sa Ginto'' (1970), ''Pinoy Crazy Boys'' (1974), and ''Hinog Sa Pilit''. And because the looks came with deep talent, Jay survived the transition from teen star to adult actor - winning a Gawad Urian Best Supporting Actor trophy in 1982 for the movie, ''Kisapmata'', another Gawad Urian Best Actor in 1985 for his role in ''Sister Stella L.'', and 1988 FAMAS and Film Academy of the Philippines Best Actor for his acting in ''Maging Akin Ka Lamang''. His acting range was versatile as he has also appeared in a number of comedy movies and TV shows alongside critically acclaimed dramatic films.


Personal life

The son of Sampaguita star Corazon Noble and director Angel Esmeralda started out as a child actor, originally using "Angel" as his screen name. At the age of 18, he married actress Hilda Koronel, a protégé of director Lino Brocka. The couple kept their marriage private initially, but it later became public after their separation. During their relationship, they adopted children and had one biological daughter together. In 1983, Ilagan began a relationship with actress Amy Austria. The two lived together from that year until Ilagan’s death on February 4, 1992.
