He was born Fernando Kelley Poe Jr. on May 4, 1943, son of Filipino actor Fernando Poe, Sr. and Irish American mestiza wife Elizabeth "Bessie" Kelley. He siblings were Elizabeth ("Liza"), Genevieve, Evangeline, Ronald Allan ("Ronnie") and Freddie; and half-brother of Conrad Poe.
Poe studied at the San Beda College in Mendiola, Manila from his elementary years up to his sophomore high school years. He transferred to the José Rizal College for junior and senior high school. He enrolled at the University of the Philippines to study Architecture. After college, he pursued a career in the movies like his older brother Ronnie. Because his name was used by Ronnie professionally ("Fernando Poe Jr."), he opted to use his nickname "Andy" as his professional name.
Marriage
In 1979, he met 20-year-old, Yvette Christine de Marcaida who was the leading lady of his brother FPJ in "Ang Lihim Ng Guadalupe" which was the entry of FPJ Productions in the 1979 Metro Manila Film Festival. Yvette descended from the Portuguese-Indian Barrettos of the Philippines and distantly related to the Barrettos based in Zambales. Poe and de Marcaida got married in Matinez County, California, on July 31, 1980. They had two sons, Fernando Poe IV ("Donnie") and Alexander Vaughn Poe ("Lex") in 1981 and 1983 respectively.
From 1982 to 1984, Poe and his wife Yvette de Marcaida established DAY FILMS and produced three movies namely: Pamilya Dimagiba, Brando Bandido, and Magtago Ka Na Sa Pinanggalingan Mo. In 1985, Poe and his family immigrated to the United States and resided in Jersey City, New Jersey, until 1993 where the couple became active in the real estate business as realtors with Century 21. Poe returned to the Philippines in 1993 and did several movies until his sudden demise in 1995.
