Elizabeth Alindogan Kho (born 1959/1960), professionally known as Liz Alindogan, is a Filipino actress.

Career

Alindogan was a model when discovered by comedian Dolphy in a fashion show in Manila Hotel. Her first film was Dolphy's Angels in 1980 with Carmi Martin, Anna Marie Gutierrez, Yehlen Catral and Dolphy.

She also did risqué film roles in mid-1980s such as for Heartache City with Maria Isabel Lopez, Escort Girls with Jaclyn Jose, Unang Karanasan with George Estregan, Company of Women with Mark Gil, and Mga Nakaw Na Sandali with Ronaldo Valdez.

She became the leading lady of action stars like Fernando Poe Jr. in Ang Panday, Ang Aguila at Falcon, and Sierra Madre, Rudy Fernandez in Wanted: Sabas, ang Kilabot, Dante Varona in Nagbabagang Lupa... Nagbabagang Araw, Ace Vergel in Kapwa Simaron, and Jess Lapid Jr. in Cuadro de Alas.

In 1986, Alindogan attempted to produce a film called The Diary of Vietnam Rose, starring herself in the title role and directed by Celso Ad. Castillo, but it ultimately went unfinished when the largely self-financed production had depleted its budget; by September 1986, the film was no longer being produced.[1][2] The surviving reels from the production were reused three decades later for the 2016 documentary People Power Bombshell: The Diary of Vietnam Rose.[2]

Alindogan was a cast member of the ABS-CBN television series 100 Days to Heaven (2011), starring Coney Reyes, Jodi Sta. Maria and Xyriel Manabat, among others.[3]

Personal life

Alindogan studied commerce at the Philippine Christian University in the 1970s.[4]

Her first husband was former action star Jess Lapid Jr. (separated). They had two children. According to Alindogan, actor Fernando Poe Jr. also attempted to court her early in her film career, and that she rebuffed his advances.[5]

Alindogan is now married to businessman Benny Kho with whom she has four children.
