Born in November 1950, she became one of the sexiest movie stars in the late 1960s. She is also a recording artist cutting two singles under Villar Record's sublabel Action Records. At the onset of the Bomba (Bold) movies era in Philippine cinema (early 1970s), she shied away from movies and opted to be a singer instead. Her singing career spanned the Philippines, and on 1976 started to conquer Japan, The Middle East, Guam, Egypt and Greece as well.
Ms. Gaston succumbed to Thymoma Cancer at 54 on September 16, 2005 and was survived by her two children, Angel and Chiok. She never married.
