Mylene connects with her mom, Tessie Agana, a famous child actress from the Philippines, who today lives in Cave Creek with dementia. Mylene listens to her mother’s stories of yesteryear, and their candid discussions break barriers between mother and daughter.
Tessie Agana was affectionately deemed “The Nation’s Little Sweetheart” and known as the “Shirley Temple of the Philippines.” With unsparing truth, Mylene offers the first intimate portrait of her mother, whose early fame and exposure to the public eye led to dark shadows that impacted her entire life.
