Biographie
Abigail Kintanar's humble beginnings can be traced back to April 2005 when PAX-TV cast her to star in her own episode for their reality series "Xtreme Fakeovers." This not only marked Abigail "Gail" Kintanar's debut on cable television, but the network featured her to play the lead role in her own reality episode titled "Star Discovery."
By June 2005, she lands her second reality show when Discovery Health cast her to star in her own episode "Gail and Mark" for the reality series "Love on the Rocks."
Abigail Kintanar is now famously known for her roles as CelebReality Star "Red Oyster" of VH1's "Flavor of Love" and as a "Charm School" Alternate. She reprises her role as "Red Oyster" in several network television cameo appearances - "VH1's Big in '06 Awards," "Flavor of Love" (The Reunion), "Flavor of Love" (Season 2), NBC's "Identity," FUSE TV's "Pants-Off, Dance-Off" and even Red Oyster's most memorable and shocking moment (when she bowed out of the competition in the middle of the elimination ceremony) was a highlight on E!'s "Talk Soup" during the host's recap of the show's first shocking twist (no one knew Red Oyster would voluntarily eliminate herself from "Flavor of Love" in episode 5).
She solidified her "Reality Show Star" status by appearing on "Details Magazine" for their "Reality Stars" Issue, "Life & Style" Magazine and makes headline news on "The Signal" when the "Lifestyles Section" dedicated the front page of their February Valentines Day Edition in honor of Abigail's obsession for the color red and attempt to set a world record with Guinness by wearing red everyday for 8 years to date.
Dubbed as the "Most Infamous Filipina on Reality TV" with her own reality episode, "All About Abby" on TFC's "Pinagmulan: The Journey Home," Abigail Kintanar solidified her controversially-clad CelebReality Vixen status on TFC's "Speak-Out" and joins the elite class of Filipino-American Celebrities, ranking #2 with them on "Balitang America's" List of "2006's Biggest Newsmakers."
While Abigail Kintanar is a mainstay Model for Vance McDaniel's True Image Concepts website, she has tried her hand in all aspects of the entertainment industry. She hosted the Love4Leyte Benefit Concert @ The Grove in Anaheim working alongside Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, The Basco Bros. (Dante Basco, Dion Basco, Darion Basco and Derek Basco), Fil-Am Comedian JoKoy, DJ Rocky Rock, Hyphy Performer Nump, etc. She was also the host of the US Theatrical Movie Premiere of 'Wag Kang Lilingon and introduced the likes of Philippine-based stars Anne Curtis and Kristine Hermosa.
Kintanar was briefly featured on Fox 11 News, NBC's "Joey," "Las Vegas," and "West Wing," Showtime's "Huff," UPN's "Half & Half," TLC's "Untold Stories of the ER," FOX's "The Inside," CBS's "The Unit," MTV's "Wild 'N Out" and if you look real closely, you'll catch her wearing yet another red outfit in Lindsay Lohan's music video "First."
She also had the wonderful opportunity to work with Director James Olmos on HBO's made-for-tv film "Walk-Out," and Susan Lucci for the "Youthful Essence" Infomercial. You might even catch her as she appears in "Disney Secrets Revealed" showcased in Disney Parks around the world!
Kintanar graduated Cum Laude from California State University, Bakersfield with a BA in Communications, Mass Media, Law and Film. She graduated from College of the Canyons with an AA Media in Media Arts and Majored in Radio/Television/Video/Film. Therefore, because she has two degrees under her belt, she is quick to confirm the fact that she IS also a shrewd, cunning and unscrupulous Machiavellian breezy who is capable of outwitting even the most highfalutin swain.
