One of my first tv heroes was Matlock, the unflappable serial lawyer and my first crush as a 4-year-old, was a charismatic, funny Pierce Brosnan in Remington Steele. I’ve always had a soft spot for action and crime.
I also loved Star Trek. I would stand in the living room, remote control in hand, using it as a phaser to shoot aliens.
But my real childhood heroine was always my mother. She was brought to Germany from the Philippines in the 70s, where they urgently needed nurses, and worked in the profession for over 35 years. I often visited her at work in the hospital and saw how she helped patients.
Of course, I became an actress after all so that I could embody everything that inspires me.
