She began in showbiz at an early age being the daughter of celebrities and sibling of equally-talented actors. She was cast either as a daughter or part of a circle of friends of the lead actor. However, she was given a lead star status in Bubot na Bayabas in 1978 opposite another newbie, Ronald Bregendahl (Rita Gomez and Ric Rodrigo’s son). The movie was a forgettable release. But in 1979, film matriarch Lily Monteverde re-launched her via Problem Child with the then-current teen sensation, Lloyd Samartino. The movie fared mildly, and she was continually cast by Regal Films in films such as City After Dark, Salawahan, Ito Ba Ang Ating Mga Anak, and Sugar Daddy.

Starred in numerous films, and TV and has performed in theatre for plays such as Master Class playing Maria Callas15 Arbol de Fuego, an adaptation of Anton Chekov’s The Cherry Orchard, and Full Gallop as Diana Vreeland, bestowing her the Best Actress award for her one-woman portrayal in 2014.
