Mary Grace Imperial, better known by her stage name Meg Imperial (born 20 January 1993 in Taytay, Rizal, Philippines), is a Filipina actress and commercial model of Spanish-Filipino descent. She auditioned for Goin' Bulilit, but she was not accepted because she was 13 and considered too old for the role. She then appeared as QT in Midnight DJ, a defunct horror show of TV5. She contracted with ABS-CBN and is currently a Star Magic Artist.[1][2]
The project that launched her was the sexy film “Menor de Edad.” Directed by Joel Lamangan, this gutsy film got the attention of critics and tested her acting prowess. Meg was so dedicated to her role she even became an FHM magazine cover girl beforehand to prep her while building her confidence in her own sex appeal. In the highly anticipated afternoon TV series “Moon of Desire”, Meg Imperial plays the central character. Giving her the spotlight and acknowledging her status as one of ABS CBNs prized actresses. The story centers around Meg Imperial’s character who has hypertriochosis, a medical condition where she is covered with hair from head to toe. The challenge from sex symbol to ugly girl is a welcome change. Meg even makes a stand about plastic surgery which she foregoes, saying “Kasi nakapasok naman ako ng showbiz ng ganito na ’ko, so, bakit ko pa babaguhin?”
