Hindi nakapagtataka kung bigyan ng titulong "super villain" ang aktres na si Pinky Amador dahil sa kanyang kontrabida role bilang Moira Tanyag sa top-rating GMA Afternoon Prime series na Abot Kamay Na Pangarap.
Nakailang kontrabida roles na raw si Pinky sa telebisyon pero tumatak nang husto sa marami ang pagganap niya bilang si Moira.

"I am truly humbled and feel super blessed. Hindi nga ako aware that there's such a thing as a 'super vilain' since I have been playing (heroes and antiheroes) since I started in the business.
"Around 10 years ago sa Be Careful With My Heart, I was also voted 'most hated villain,' if that makes sense.
"Whatever it is, it is ALWAYS a blessing to have work and icing on top of the cake to be recognized for it," pahayag ni Pinky sa panayam sa kanya ng Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph) via Facebook Messenger noong October 15, 2023.
Dahil sa kanyang mga paandar bilang kontrabida, ilang netizens ang nagsabing puwede na siyang i-level sa mga kilalang super villains tulad sa teleserye tulad nina Princess Punzalan, Gladys Reyes, Jean Garcia, and the late Cherie Gil.
Reaksiyon dito ni Pinky: "Siyempre no one can ever step in the shoes of Cherie Gil, Princess Punzalan, Gladys Reyes, and Jean Garcia. They are all amazing actors!
"I would say that Moira Tanyag, it's my best role RECENTLY on TV since it has had such a successful run.
"I would like to credit my other TV kontrabida roles like Maggie Monteclaro in AnnaKarenina, Pilar in Los Bastardos, Mercedes Adonis in My Daddy Dearest.
"And also my roles onstage in Piaf (Edith Piaf), ZsaZsa Zaturnnah (Queen Femina), Agnes of God (Mother Miriam), Angels in America (Angel), and others."

MOIRA'S KARMA
Nakaisang taon na ang Abot Kamay Na Pangarap at inabot na ng kamalasan si Moira dahil unti-unti nang nabubuking ang mga masasamang nagawa niya sa maraming gustong humadlang sa mga plano niya.
Pero ayon sa 57-year-old actress, hindi doon magtatapos ang lahat dahil habang buhay pa si Moira, may mga magagawa pa itong mga karumal-dumal na kasamaan kina Doc RJ (Richard Yap), Lyneth (Carmina Villarroel), at Analyn (Jillian Ward).
"Well, as per script, Moira has promised to make life for Lyneth and Analyn Santos and even Robert Tanyag a living hell as long as she's around. Wait lang sila dahil marami pang pasabog si Moira!" pangako ni Pinky tungkol sa kanyang kaarawan.
Kung siya ang tatanungin, ano gusto niyang ending ni Moira?
"If I had it my way, gugustuhin kong magbago siya. Pero with the way Moira is now, parang matagal pa siguro mangyari yun!" natatawang sabi ni Pinky, na enjoy sa paggawa ng nakakatuwang TikTok videos kasama ang buong cast ng Abot Kamay Na Pangarap.

40TH ANNIVERSARY IN SHOWBIZ
This year, nag-celebrate si Pinky ng kanyang 40th anniversary in showbiz.
Mula sa kanyang pagiging isang award-winning theater actress, na-penetrate ni Pinky ang movies and television at hindi niya namalan na nakaapat na dekada na siya sa entertainment business.
Hindi raw nagawa ni Pinky na makapag-celebrate nang bongga this year dahil sa tuluy-tuloy na taping ng Abot Kamay Na Pangarap kaya ni-reserve niya ang mag-celebrate for 2024.
"Actually, we are really far too busy with the show to be able to plan anything this year, it will have to wait for next year na siguro, or after I return from Singapore playing the lead in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf for Pangdemonium Theatre Company (run by Adrian Pang erstwhile leading man of Lea Salonga in They're Playing Song and God Of Carnage)."
Graduate si Pinky sa Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, an affiliate school of the University of the West of England, with a master's degree in Acting.
Nakuha naman niya ang kanyang Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication from Assumption College San Lorenzo.
Ginawaran ng dalawang Aliw Award for Best Stage Actress si Pinky para sa Agnes of God (1983) and The Foreigner (1987).
In 1986, na-introduce si Pinky sa kanyang first film na Magdusa Ka! kunsaan kontrabida siya ni Dina Bonnevie.
Nasundan ito ng iba pang mga pelikula tulad ng Balweg: The Rebel Priest, Anak Ng Lupa, Pangako Sa 'Yo, Kadenang Bulaklak, Kabilin-Bilinan ni Lola, Sana Pag-ibig Na, Madame X, Sa Huling Paghihintay, Sugatang Puso, Hesus Rebolusyonaryo, Blue Moon, Eternity, You To Me Are Everything, Ang Panahon Ng Halimaw, at Love Or Money.
Nakabilang naman si Pinky sa original London cast of the Cameron Mackintosh musical hit Miss Saigon noong 1989 kunsaan gumanap bilang Kim si Lea Salonga.
Bukod sa pagiging accomplished actress, nagawa rin ni Pinky na maging isang educator. Naging head siya ng drama department ng Mint College (2011-2015) at nagturo siya ng Basic Acting and Performance Arts sa Thames International.
Nagkaroon naman siya ng start-up company na Amador Creative Concept kunsaan nagpa-facilitate sila group, individuals and organizational workshops for basic acting and performance arts.
