Claudine Barretto

Claudine Barretto has been referred to, on a couple of websites, as the next Vilma Santos. The writers may be right. Claudine is a certified actress, just like the multi-award-winning Governor Vi.
Claudine’s first big television exposure was in the ‘90s teen show Ang TV. She then starred in the comedy show Home Along Da Riles, as Dolphy’s sweet teenage daughter. While the careers of many teen stars of the ‘90s became virtually instinct as they entered adulthood, Claudine went to star in films that have displayed her talent and box-office appeal, Anak, Kailangan Kita, Milan, Dubai. In these films, she lit up the screen with her almost translucent, seemingly poreless skin. This woman does come from a family of beautiful women.
“Barretto’s clan has always exudes beauty”, says Wenn Deramas, her director on soap opera Walang Kapalit. “You can put make-up on her face for a quick thirty minutes because of her white complexion.”
