The Great Thespian

The many roles Ms Charito Solis played in a brilliant career that spanned for 43 years reflected her ability to play a wide range of characters, her commitment to every characters she played and her versatility as an actress...making her a great thespian!

Ilan lamang sa mapanghamong papel na kanyang ginampanan... naging mayordoma at socialite, Igorota at Koreana, prostitute at madre, naging reyna ng enkantada at prinsesa, isang relihiyosa at isang tulisan, isang makasalanan at isang santo, naging pulubi at naging baliw, isang batang isip at isang nagumon sa droga.
