Maria Rosa Francisca Catalina Gil-Eigenmann y Castellvi (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈhil ˈaɪɡɛnmɐn]; born March 9, 1942), known professionally as Rosemarie Gil, is a Filipino actress and singer. She is best known for her portrayal of rich socialite-villainess roles.

Early life

[edit]

Gil was born in Quiapo, Manila to Carlos Gil Jr. and Maria Dolores Castellvi. Her family owned a hacienda in Porac, Pampanga. She was educated at the elite Assumption Convent (now Assumption College).[3]

Career

Premiere Productions gave her the title role in her first film Sta. Rita De Casia (Patrona ng Imposible) (1958).[4] She starred in various Americans films such as Night of the Cobra Woman (1972) and Naked Vengeance (1985), among others.

Gil married fellow actor-musician Eddie Mesa in 1958, putting her stardom on hold, while her husband enjoyed a career in the limelight. The couple eventually settled in the United States, separated and then reconciled.[5]

She reclaimed her stardom in the 1970s upon her return, and starred in movies for international release. Her most remarkable film in the 1970s was Burlesk Queen, co-starring Vilma Santos, which scored her numerous awards.[6] Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Gil often appeared in drama films and teleseryes.

After leaving showbiz in 2004, Gil returned to acting in 2018.[7]
