Gladys Reyes is undeniably one of the best kontrabida stars in local showbiz.

Gladys became a household name when she played the role of the main kontrabida in the long-running teleserye Mara Clara.

But few knew that before becoming a character actress on TV and movies, Gladys joined the inaugural batch of brilliant girls who joined the hit talent show of Eat Bulaga's "Little Miss Philippines" in 1984.
