Alice Smith (a.k.a. Pamela Ponti)

In the ‘60s, she was briefly known onscreen as Pamela Ponti, Italian-sounding when she’s actually an American mestiza, Alice ‘Baby’ Smith. Her acting career didn’t flourish as she fell in love with Dolphy (Rodolfo Vera Quizon), not yet the Comedy King that he is today.

Alice and Dolphy had three children: Ronnie, Eric and Donna Quizon.

She’s now based in California with daughter Donna. They own and run the popular franchise restaurant Pinoy/Pinay.

Some years back, Eric produced, directed and starred in a movie inspired by Alice’s search for her American father. G Tongi played the Alice Smith-like role — RKC
