Evangeline Rose Gil Eigenmann (Tagalog pronunciation: [hil anmn], born
21 June 1963), better known by her stage name as Cherie Gil, is a
Filipino actress. She has been acting in TV series, films and
theatrical productions since the age of 9.Cherie Gil is the daughter
of Filipino singer-actors Eddie Mesa and Rosemarie Gil, and sister of
fellow actors, Michael de Mesa and Mark Gil. She was formerly married
to Rony Rogoff, a violinist; the couple has two children, Bianca and
Raphael. She also has another child, Jeremiah David (Jay), from a
previous relationship with actor Leo Martinez.Cherie Gil started 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, the Regal 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 employed by Regal Films in films such as City After DarK,
Salawahan, Ito ba ang ating Mga Anak and Sugar Daddy. She went
freelance with assignments like "Beach House", "Ang Bouncer at ang
Dancer", "Dancing Master", "Girlfriend" among others. In 1982, she was
cast as a naive young lady affected by World War II in Bacolod in the
classic Oro Plata Mata. She tried singing and had another mild hit, "I
Love You, Boy". On TV, she was one of the hosts of German Moreno in
Germspesyal from 1979-1981. Moreover, she was one of the mainstays of
Champoy with Subas Herrero and Noel Trinidad from 1981-1986.She
resurfaced as a villain in 1985 via Viva Films' Bituing Walang
Ningning, providing the lead actress Sharon Cuneta formidable support
in the role of Lavinia Arguelles, a famous but insecure singer. From
this movie, she became famous for her iconic line, "You're nothing but
a second rate, trying hard copycat" This favorable reception
consequently opened her for classy and sultry villainess roles,
throughout the 1980s until the present.
