From Wikipedia:
Teresita "Tita Durán" Durango (1929-1991) was a Filipina film actress who began as a child actress. She was the first ever successful child star of Philippine cinema.
Actor Pancho Magalona was her husband. She is the mother of Filipino rapper Francis Magalona and grandmother to Maxene Magalona who, as a child, showed a striking resemblance. She is the mother of the late Francis Magalona with their siblings: Susan M. Contreras, Vicky, Victor (married to Ma. Angeles), Henry, Popeye "Pye", Malot, Maricar M. Martinez, and Martin.
Charming, Sweet and Youthful, Duran joined a movie in her earliest career as an 8 yr old child who abandoned by their mother in 1936 family-drama of Awit ng mga Ulila, aka The Songs of the Orphans.
In 1938, Sampaguita Pictures spotted the child and cast her in a tear-jerker movie of Inang Mahal aka (Dear Mother). Her second movie in Sampaguita was Ang Magsasampaguita (The Sampaguita Vendor).
Duran made 2 movies under LVN Pictures and it was Pangarap aka (Dream) and Sawing Gantimpala aka (Lost Prize) both in 1940.
After World War II, she made a comeback in her studio Sampaguita Pictures. She joined in a war film with Carmen Rosales entitled Guerilyera and typecasted in numerous musical films paired by some of the Sampaguita's finest actor.
After her last movie in Sampaguita Isang Halik Mo Pancho, she made Maria Went to Town under Deegar Cinema Inc.
