Constancia Angeline Reyes Nubla (born May 26, 1953), better known by her screen name Coney Reyes, is a Filipino film and television actress, comedian, television host and producer.[citation needed]
Reyes made her acting debut in the 1974 film Return of the Dragon. She became the primary female co-host for noontime variety shows Student Canteen (1975–1982) and Eat Bulaga! (1982–1991). This was further cemented by her eponymous Coney Reyes on Camera (1984-1998) which ran for fourteen years, as well as her main role in Ang Munting Paraiso (1998-2002).[1]
After a long career in day-time television, she started to appear in primetime teleseryes in supporting roles, and even as an antagonist. In contemporary Filipino popular culture, Reyes is famous for her lead roles in family-oriented television dramas 100 Days to Heaven, Nathaniel, and My Dear Heart, as well as for her role in Four Sisters and a Wedding. Her most recent television project was being the lead in the ensemble cast of Love of My Life.[citation needed]
