She was 15 then. We've seen her blossomed to be one of our finest actresses in local cinema and we still believe she should have even just a single best actress award for her tour de force performance in "Ikaw Pa Lang ang Minahal" in 1992. And now, she's turning 45 on February 25 and we've realized that we have been witnessed to the rise and fall of so many showbiz careers. That really dates us.
Maricel will be busy as she celebrates her birthday. She'll soon start taping her new show on TV 5, "Five-Star Drama Special", with real life friend Roderick Paulate as her special guest in the pilot episode that's a comedy. The show will also feature drama, horror and romantic stories. This will be shown in time for TV 5's big launch in March. It'll be recalled that her former drama anthology, "Maricel Drama Special" ran for more than years so this really her forte. About her lovelife, she admits finding a new inspiration but she'd rather keep it private as of now.
