Gretchen Barretto is among the Filipina actresses who filled the tabloids, entertainment news and headlines. She has a very pretty face and despite all the intrigues in show business, she remains to be composed in front of the press and yet being able to throw a few punch lines that could make a smile for a while. She recently celebrated her daughter’s 18th birthday, themed with the wizard of OZ. Being the only daughter of Gretchen and Tony, Dominique seems well pampered as her 18th birthday celebration clearly shows.
