ALL IN THE FAMILY – After writing about Fathers and Sons, Highspeed now dwells on Mothers and Daughters.
Let’s start with Rosemarie Gil and daughter Cherie, both very fine actresses. Rose started in the ‘50s via “Santa Rita de Casia.” She finished high school at Assumption Convent. Cherie’s multi-talented-actress, singer, dancer and multi-media performer – movies, television stage.
Coming from the same family are Cannes best actress Jaclyn Jose and daughter Andi Eigenmann. Andi’s father was the late Mark Gil.
