Carmen Soriano: The Singer-actress

March 4, 2012 | 12:00am

Although primarily known as a singer, Carmen Soriano also starred in a few romantic dramas in the ’60s. One of them is Love and Devotion (1967), a follow-up to Somewhere My Love, with Arnold Mendoza as leading man in both films.

Actually, Carmen started her acting career with LVN in the ’50s as a teenager. She still appears every now and then in TV soaps.

But of course, her fame is anchored on her singing prowess — recording artist, nightclub performer and TV musical host.

Carmen is at home with English, Spanish and Filipino songs.

Lloyd Samartino is her son. — RKC
