Tyson's stage name is a
portmanteau of the late singer
Whitney Houston and the former heavyweight boxer
Mike Tyson. Despite initially facing racism for her African-American heritage, Tyson embraced her ethnicity and used it as an asset in entering show business. She usually played supporting roles as sidekicks or household helpers in various films and television series. Her career eventually declined over the years, to the point of making appearances in various fiestas to make ends meet as a destitute living in a
shanty under
Nagtahan Bridge in Manila. Tyson later relocated to a resettlement area in
Bulacan along with her mother. Following an interview with
Korina Sanchez on the weekly magazine show
Rated K, Tyson made a comeback in ''
FPJ's Ang Probinsyano'' aired on
ABS-CBN,
Kapamilya Channel,
A2Z, and
TV5 with a supporting role as Elizabeth, a maid working at the Presidential Palace. ==Filmography==
