She one of those actresses that can easily shift from being a villain to a heroine. Yes, she played heroines in her career, in films like "Oro, Plata, Mata," "Sana'y wala nang wakas," among others.
But yes, she's better known as the villain. A classy, elegant, intelligent and loveable villain.
One of her iconic roles is as Lavinia Arguelles in "Bituing Walang Ningning." It's so iconic that her famous line: "You're nothing but a second rate, trying hard, copycat!" is part of Filipino Pop Culture for almost 4 decades now.
Given how it's still part of the local lexicon until now, it's safe to say that those lines will be seared into the consciousness of the Filipinos and will never be forgotten.
And as Cherie Gil closes the curtain on her illustrious career, I'm certain that neither will she.
