Many people ask, "Who is the sister of Anne Curtis?" A good search on the internet would show that it is Jasmine Curtis. She is also an actress just like her sister. Since her sister is a famous actress in the Philippines, she somehow felt like she was living in the shadow of her sister, but she has been able to overcome the feeling.
On the other hand, one of Anne’s siblings, Clare, died when she was only 4 months because of cardioneuropathy. In one of her interviews, Anne said that she could still remember how she knew about her sister’s death. Her father called and told her that the machines that were keeping her sister alive would be taken off her body. She was on rehearsal that day. She said that the death of Clare Bear, as she called her sister, was really painful for their family.
In spite of all the tragedies that the actress had experienced, her career continued to blossom.

Her first-ever movie stint was with the 1997 hit movie Magic Kingdom when she played Princess Dahlia. However, since Curtis did not grow up in the Philippines, she could not speak fluent Tagalog so her lines in the movie were dubbed.

Her first movie was the reason why she landed more roles in the film and television industry. However, it was not easy for her knowing that she had a lot of studying of the Filipino language to do. Her agency pushed her to take the Tagalog lessons seriously so she could get more roles in the industry.
Anne Curtis' first television appearance was in 1997 in the Kapuso network. She starred in the GMA’s TV romance and drama series, Ikaw Na Sana, alongside Angelou De Leon and Bobby Andrew.
