Evangeline Rose Gil Eigenmann (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈhil
ˈaɪɡɛnmÉ n], 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.
