Actress Cherie Gil passed away from cancer on August 5, 2022, at the age of 59. Due to her acting skills and her contributions to Philippine cinema, she received the nickname “La Primera Contravida”.
Right now, Gil is best known for playing Lavinia Arguelles in Bituing Walang Ningning, in which she berated Sharon Cuneta’s character Dorina, saying, “You’re just a second-rate impersonator who tries really hard!” Gil began her career at the age of nine.
Eddie Mesa and Rosemarie Gil gave birth to Cherie Gil. After the birth of his first child in 1961, his parents got married. They later gave birth to Evangeline Rose and Raphael John (Mark Gil) (Cherie Gil). Due to marital problems, including Mesa’s alleged drinking and womanizing, they divorced in 1970.
While Mesa moved to Guam for six months in 1978 before returning to Hawaii after martial law was proclaimed in 1972, Rosemarie remained in the Philippines and pursued her acting career. Mesa’s marriage was restored after she converted to Christianity in 1986.
Cherie’s father is a retired Filipino singer and actress. He later shared the screen with Susan Roces and the late Fernando Poe Jr. He and his wife currently reside in the United States, where he is a pastor and worships God through song.
Also, Rosemarie, her mother, had her film debut in Sta. Rita De Casia (Patrona ng Impossible), in which she played the lead (1958). Her films include Friends in Love and Night of the Cobra Woman, among others.
It was also a finalist for the Gawad Urian Award for Best Supporting Role and the FAMAS Award. The Metro Manila Film Festival also awarded her Best Supporting Actress for the film. She later took a break from film and television acting in 2004, but she returned in 2018 with the movie Delia & Sammy.
The actress’s parents, who are still alive, could be mourning the death of their daughter. Cherie Gil grew up in a famous and creative home. Her two brothers were Mark Gil and Michael Edward Gil Eigenmann.
Filipino actor Mark specialized in playing the main antagonist in action movies. In the suspense-drama thriller The Elsa Castillo Story: The Chop-Chop Lady, which was based on a true story, he rose to fame for his portrayal of Lorna Tolentino’s former American boss, lover, and killer.
Sadly, he passed away on September 1, 2014, at the age of 52. Cirrhosis of the liver, caused by liver cancer, was the cause of death. He is survived by his wife Maricar, six children, parents, siblings and seven grandchildren. Michael, Cherie’s second brother, began acting at the age of 16. He is also well known in the television and film sectors.
He made his debut in Araw-araw, Gabi-gabi, in 1975, and is still a working actor now. Since 2016, he has served as director and Pat. Ramil “Manager” D. Taduran on the ABS-CBN Ang Probinsyano show.
