Sharon Gamboa Cuneta-Pangilinan (born January 6, 1966) is a Filipino singer, actress, TV host and a reality show judge.
She has starred in 53 films, 10 television shows, recorded 40 albums and worked as a celebrity endorser for many products.
On November 22, 2011, Cuneta moved to TV5 with a PHP 1 billion (US$21 million) contract with the network. She parted ways with ABS-CBN, her home network of 24 years, on a cordial note. Her daily afternoon talk show Sharon: Kasama Mo, Kapatid premiered on May 14, 2012, and has been called an engaging program that aims to entertain and to inspire.
In 2013, Cuneta returned to television with a comedy series entitled, Madam Chairman, which premiered in October 2013 on TV5. On March 9, 2015, Sharon returned to ABS-CBN as one of the juries on Your Face Sounds Familiar, since March 14.
Cuneta was born to Pablo Cuneta (1910–2000), a former mayor of Pasay who was the longest-serving mayor in the Philippines from 1951 to 1998, and Elaine Gamboa (1934 – 2014), a sister of actress and singer Helen Gamboa. She was born on January 6, 1966 at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Santa Mesa, Manila. Cuneta is also the first cousin of singer-actress Jenn Cuneta. She has lived most of her early years in Dasmariñas Village, Makati.
Cuneta grew up surrounded by music, listening to her dad's record collection. Cuneta during her early years made her first TV appearance in Ike Lozada's show, in the Bulilit portion, where she mimicked songs of her aunt, Helen Gamboa. Cuneta was just as young when she appeared in her first movie, the Rosanna Ortiz-George Estregan starrer Lovers for Hire. She played one of Roderick Paulate's playmates.
Cuneta attended St. Paul College, Pasig and International School Manila for her primary to secondary education. But decided to forgo her high school education due to her singing commitments, at the age of 14.
