Gilda Haddock

Haddock is friends with another well-known Puerto Rican actress, Giselle Blondet, who, in 2017, convinced Haddock to relocate near Blondet, to Miami, Florida.

When she re-took her film acting career, she acted in a Spanish version of "The Importance of Being Earnest" play and films, in this case named La Importancia de Llamarse Ernesto, in addition to 2004's Barrio Obrero (a film which was named after a ward in the San Juan area of Santurce), Santa Claus es Boricua ("Santa Claus is Puerto Rican"), and others.

Haddock also collaborated in children's theater plays, beginning in 2000, including El Pincel y Los Cuentos de la Seňora Potter ("The Brush Tool and Ms. Potter's Tales"), about Peter Rabbit.

In 2000, Haddock acted in the children's play La Bella Durmiente ("Sleeping Beauty"), a play that also included Gladys Rodriguez, former Menudo member Robert Avellanet, Suzette Baco and Lou Briel, among others.

During the 2000s, Haddock restarted her film career, acting in various Puerto Rican films.

Haddock broke her hiatus from television and returned to the Puerto Rican television screens in 1991, co-hosting, alongside Eddie Miro, a Canal 2 show named Noche de Gala.

Haddock decided, from the period comprising between 1986 and 1992, to concentrate on her family life. She was not, however, jobless. Haddock during this era recorded eight gospel musical cassettes, recorded for the Catholic organization Asociacion Pro Devocion de la Virgen del Rosario del Pozo and one album, titled Porque Para Siempre es su Misericordia ("Because His Mercy is Forever"), all of which were released under the True Way Productions label. At the same time, she became a radio show host, on a show named Mujer de Hoy ("Today's Woman"), which was broadcast on the Puerto Rican radio station 11Q.

Haddock then moved to Canal 4 during 1984, to star in a telenovela named Mili, where she played the main female character, Maria Milagros "Mili" Ruiz.

1978 saw Haddock act in another film, the Panamanian-Spanish co-production Préstamela esta noche ("May I Borrow Your Girl Tonight?"), as Anita (credited as "Hilda Haddock").

Haddock then made her film debut, acting as Vanessa del Valle in the 1977 Puerto Rico-Mexico co-production film, La Noche de San Juan: Santo en Oro Negro ("San Juan Night: Santo in Black Gold"), alongside Mexican wrestler El Santo and Luis Daniel Rivera.

The move to Canal 2 proved pivotal for Haddock; also in 1977, she was chosen to participate in a telenovela named Cristina Bazán, where she worked alongside Venezuelan singer and actor José Luis Rodriguez and Puerto Ricans Johanna Rosaly, Luis Daniel Rivera, Esther Sandoval and her former co-worker, Alba Nydia Díaz.

In 1976, Haddock was lured back to Puerto Rico by an offer to act in the telenovela Pueblo Chico ("Small Town"), which was written by Jacobo Morales and televised on the Canal 11 television channel.
