AN INSPIRING MEMOIR BY THE DAUGHTER OF THE PHILIPPINES 'NATION'S LITTLE SWEETHEART' OFFERS AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF HER MOTHER As the daughter and granddaughter of world-famous entertainers from the Philippines' Golden Age of cinema, Mylene Agana Jao Richardson was born into a family of legends. Tessie Agana, Mylene's mother, and Linda Estrella, her grandmother, were the nation's iconic mother/daughter film star duo of the 1950s, starring in approximately 40 films collectively, and winning the hearts of countless fans worldwide. The Legend of Tessie Agana is the fascinating life story of two separate yet inextricably connected film careers, and the personal choices behind them, as told in loving detail by Mylene. Mylene shows how you can maximize your happiness by discovering to truly know oneself, the journey forward is to look back.

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. Full of behind-the-scenes anecdotes, this story transitions to personal narratives of Tessie's adult struggles.
Woven into this introspective theme are the complexities of family dynamics, depression, and isolation, showing how in Tessie's life, a spiral of love, mental health, and pain lurked behind a charmed façade. Family and Filipino traditions provide the beat to every step.
