# Jaclyn Jose

Mary Jane Santa Ana Guck (October 21, 1963 – March 2, 2024), known professionally as Jaclyn Jose, was a Filipino actress.

She is the only Filipino to win the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress for the movie Ma' Rosa (2016). She was also described as the "Queen of Underacting" for her ability to deliver restrained and subtle performances.
Jose made her film acting debut in 1984, starring in dramas directed by William Pascual, Chito S. Roño and Lino Brocka, which earned her recognition in the Philippine movie awards circuit. In the 1990s, she began appearing in television soap operas. Jose was also honored by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts at the Ani ng Dangal ceremony in 2017. In 2023, she was awarded the Movie Icon Award by the Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors.

Her first Gawad Urian win came from her role in the drama Takaw Tukso (1986), winning the Best Actress award.
