Career

[edit]

Gutierrez began acting as a teenager in the 1980s, under BMG Films. She became part of German Moreno's variety show That's Entertainment in the early 1990s before becoming a beauty queen in 1993. In December 1990, Gutierrez replaced Snooky Serna for the lead role in Regal Film's Wunder Wuman Plus One, paired with comedian Rene Requiestas.[1] However, the project did not come to fruition, with Gutierrez and Requiestas instead paired in the 1993 film Hulihin: Probinsyanong Mandurukot.

As the official representative of her country to the 1993 Miss World pageant held in Sun City, South Africa, on November 27, Gutierrez placed Second Runner-up to winner Lisa Hanna of Jamaica.[2]

In 1993, Gutierrez was linked to the Brunei beauties affair.[3]

In the late 1980s and 1990s, she did multiple films each year from 1987 to 1998 with Regal Films. She ventured into television again as a regular TV host on the Sunday talk show The Buzz, and then in 2010 with Paparazzi on rival station TV5.

Gutierrez recently played a supporting role on the 2023 Philippine romantic drama series Can't Buy Me Love.[4]

Personal life

She is the only daughter of actor Eddie Gutierrez and talent manager Annabelle Rama. She has two half-brothers, Tonton Gutierrez and Ramon Christopher, from her father's previous relationships. She has five brothers: Elvis Gutierrez, Rocky Gutierrez, Ritchie Paul Gutierrez and Raymond Gutierrez and Richard Gutierrez. Elvis is married to Alexa Uichico (born on July 1, 1986), who died after a seven-month battle with leukemia.[5][6]

In 2003, she married Yilmaz Bektas, a Turkish businessman. They have two daughters, Lorin, who is studying at Pepperdine University and Venice. They announced their separation through a joint statement on May 8, 2007.[7]

In 2022, Gutierrez graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Arts at Philippine Women's University and is enrolled in Master of Communication Arts.[8]
