Julie Vega’s showbiz career started in 1974 when she starred in the movie Ang Pag-ibig Ko’y Huwag Mong Sukatin and had a breakthrough role via the 1978 film Mga Mata ni Angelita.
It became a hit and paved the way to her showbiz career.
She died at the age of 16 (almost reaching her 17th birthday) having diagnosed with a form of the demyelinating disease which was suspected to be a Guillain-Barre syndrome or multiple sclerosis. However, the cause of her death was recorded neither of the two suspicions for she died via a cardiac arrest secondary to bronchopneumonia.
Her death left the ongoing series Anna Liza with an incomplete story line and other unfinished projects.
Vega was recognized as one of the respected actresses of all time. She was posthumously featured several times such as on Tunay Na Buhay and on Sabado Badoo in 2015, and on Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho on 2016.
