Charito Solis and Vilma Santos

Charito Solis and Vilma Santos 

They made 5 movies together namely Mga Tigre Ng Sierra Cruz, Modelong Tanso, Ipagpatawad Mo, Dahil Mahal Kita and Hanggang Ngayon Ika'y Minamahal. Four of which, they played mother and daughter role. It was only in the movie Hanggang Ngayon, Ika'y Minamahal where Charito Solis played a mother-in-law to Vilma.
In a recent interview Vilma Santos recalled she felt intimidated by Charito Solis when they did the slapping scene for the movie Modelong Tanso.

(The multi-awarded actress even related her personal experience about feeling inadequate when she did the 1979 movie Modelong Tanso with the late Charito Solis who played her mom in the story. “Ako ang naintimidate noon. Naranasan ko yun noong araw kay Ms. Charito Solis na ngayon parang yun naman ang nangyayari sa akin [with the young stars.] So tinuro ko sa kanila na kahit may ka-eksena kayo na senior stars, kapag sinabi ng direktor ni’yo na kailangan niyong sampalin/sigawan sila, wala kayong choice. Gawin ni’yo yun, kahit sabihin niyong senior or respected star man yun, hindi kayo pwedeng magpa-intimidate. Kasi lahat sila kinakabahan lalo na nung pinapasampal ako kay Megan.”------from abs-cbn.com)
