Paraluman


Sigrid Sophia Agatha von Giese, better known by her screen name Paraluman , was an awardwinning Filipina actress. Her contemporaries include the likes of Fernando Poe, Sr. and Carmen Rosales and was a major contract star of Sampaguita Pictures.

Paraluman was born in Tayabas, Quezon to a German father, Lothar von Giese, and a Filipina mother, Tecla de Torres, who was herself from Tayabas. Educated at Assumption College, the young Paraluman herself was an avid movie fan. She loved reading magazines about her favorite celebrities. Her interest in showbiz increased when she learnt that their nextdoor neighbour was the actress Corazn Noble, and she would often climb their fence to catch glimpse of the actress. Her curiosity yielded positive results because Nobles younger sister, Lily, noticed her and they soon became friends.
