Dolly Earnshaw de Leon (born April 12, 1969) is a Filipino actress. Known primarily for her work in

Guldbagge Award, and a Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, in addition to nominations for a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA Award. British Vogue
named her one of the 30 most famous stars in the world in 2023.

After studying theater at the University of the Philippines Diliman, De Leon began acting on stage. Her earliest performances include local productions of The Merchant of Venice, Waiting for Godot, Old Times, and Medea. She made her film debut in Peque Gallaga's horror anthology Shake, Rattle & Roll III (1991) and was cast in small and uncredited roles throughout the 1990s and 2000s. De Leon made brief appearances in films and took on guest parts in television shows. Her breakthrough came in the crime drama Verdict (2019), for which she won a FAMAS Award for Best Supporting Actress. In 2021, she portrayed an aging sex worker in Lav Diaz's period drama History of Ha to positive reviews. She followed it with more assertive parts in Erik Matti's HBO television projects On the Job and Folklore.

De Leon achieved international recognition and acclaim for starring as a toilet cleaner on a luxury yacht in Ruben Östlund's satirical black comedy Triangle of Sadness (2022), winning the Guldbagge Award and Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Performance. She received nominations for a Golden Globe Award and for a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first Filipino to be nominated for the awards in any category. De Leon has since starred in the adult animated drama The Missing (2023)—for which she won a Cinemalaya Award for Best Supporting Actress—and the comedy Between the Temples (2024). She is the co-founder of Ladies Who Launch, a social services group which supports disadvantaged communities.

Early life and background

Dolly Earnshaw de Leon was born on April 12, 1969, in Manila, Philippines.[1][2][3] She is the youngest child to parents who are native of Ilocos and Visayas.[4][5]: 1:05  Her father, Juan de Leon Jr., worked as an engineer.[6] Her mother, Rosie de Leon, was a homemaker and a professional bowler,[7] who earned a gold medal when the Philippines won the team event at the 1983 Southeast Asian Games.[8] Her maternal grandfather, Manuel Earnshaw, was an opera singer who performed at the Manila Metropolitan Theater.[9] She has an older brother, who is seven years her senior. Growing up, she considered herself an introvert: "I didn't have any playmates. I would talk to myself, my dolls. I would dress up. Typical kid [who's] always living in a fantasy world."[5]: 1:05  De Leon disliked school and has stated that she disobeyed rules and "wanted to do things [her] way".[5]: 1:40  Although she struggled academically, De Leon excelled in the performing arts.[5]: 2:10  She acted in school theater productions and was a member of the drama, dance, and glee clubs.[10][11]

De Leon attended the

theater arts.[12] Her interest in pursuing a career in acting began when she served as a wardrobe supervisor for the stage productions: "I would watch behind in the wings at the backstage and was so amazed at what they were doing and that's when I really fell in love with theater ... I want to do stage plays."[5]: 2:31  De Leon's first acting assignment was in a play written by Floy Quintos and directed by Tony Mabesa, portraying a rural laundrywoman. Despite having brief speaking parts, she described it as "one of [her] best theater experiences".[5]: 2:58  She considered Mabesa as a mentor who trained her using an "acting-for-dummies style" process, and credits professor Jose Estrella for teaching acting techniques to prepare her for playing roles on film and television.[9] During this period, she appeared in several plays, including Harold Pinter's Old Times and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Her other roles include the protagonist Portia in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and the dual parts of a nurse and a messenger in the Greek tragedy Medea.[13][10]

Career

1991–2018: Early work

De Leon made her film debut as a background actor in Peque Gallaga's horror anthology Shake, Rattle & Roll III (1991), a part she later described as one during which she had "the spotlight for a few seconds".[14] Although she had not aspired to become a film actor, De Leon was cast in several screen roles but also acted in plays, calling it her "true love".[15] While struggling to establish her acting career, she worked various jobs, including as a mascot performer, waitress, and cashier to make ends meet. Following this lack of success, she considered quitting acting permanently but her daughter persuaded her to persevere with it; motivated by this, she continued to audition.[15]

During the next decade, De Leon appeared predominantly in small and uncredited roles, playing characters which she described as "a device to get the story moving or a sounding board for the lead".

1992 film of the same name,[18] it was nominated for Movie of the Year at the 2012 Star Awards for Movies.[19] She then played supporting roles in the television series Pintada (2011), Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real (2014), Yagit (2014), Mirabella (2014), and Pusong Ligaw (2017).[20]

The coming-of-age drama Billie and Emma (2018), directed by Samantha Lee, saw De Leon portray a stern principal nun of an all-girls Catholic school.[21] The film was screened internationally, including at the Osaka Asian Film Festival,[22] Frameline Film Festival,[23] Tel Aviv International LGBT Film Festival,[24] and Inside Out Film and Video Festival.[25] In the last of these, it won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film.[25] The critic Ryan Oquiza of The Philippine Star found her performance captured the "needless rigidity and glaring fallibility" of the character.[21]

2019–2021: Career expansion

In Midnight in a Perfect World (2020), a horror thriller about unexplained disappearances caused by

ABS-CBNnews.com, De Leon lent her charm and appeal to the film, and displayed fortitude in her physical performance.[41] She received a Gawad Urian Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the role.[44]

2022–present: International recognition

De Leon's international breakthrough came in 2022 when she starred in Ruben Östlund's satirical black comedy Triangle of Sadness.[45][46][47] The film follows a celebrity couple on a luxury cruise with wealthy guests that end up stranded on an island and fighting for survival.[48] The part of Abigail, a toilet cleaner who usurps command over the survivors, was written by Östlund with a Filipino in mind.[49] The casting director auditioned a number of actors in the Philippines.[50] Impressed by her improvization, Östlund cast De Leon after doing a read-through.[51] De Leon, whose mother is an overseas migrant worker, believed that the role mirrored certain aspects of her life. Drawing from experiences of family members employed within the service industry,[52][49] she stated, "Quiet and unassuming, my loved ones kept ... their heads down, absorbing microaggressions under a layer of agreeableness, their smiles protecting their livelihoods."[49] Describing the character as a "quadruple threat"—a middle-aged, Asian, immigrant woman—De Leon collaborated closely with Östlund to create Abigail's origin;[53][54] and, to get into her mental space, De Leon wrote a first-person narrative to identify with her motivations and how she learned to build a fire and catch fish.[54]

Triangle of Sadness premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or.[55] De Leon's performance received critical acclaim; Esther Zuckerman of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that she "balances deft comedy, visceral anger and potent sensuality",[46] and Clayton Davis of Variety praised her "utterly lived-in and commanding" portrayal, describing her as an "acting giant" who delivered the "defining supporting performance of the year".[47] Writing for The Guardian, Ryan Gilbey considered her to be "intensely satisfying" and credited De Leon for playing a "woman who harbors enough experience of injustice and reserves of strength to pounce on power".[56] De Leon received significant awards attention for her role in Triangle of Sadness.[57] She won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and Guldbagge Award for Best Supporting Actress, and received nominations for the Golden Globe Award and BAFTA Award in the same category.[57] She became the first Filipino to be nominated for the last two awards.[58][59]

After a brief appearance in the revenge drama series

live-action, then traced onto animation cels.[63] In his review for Rappler, Oquiza remarked that De Leon "emanates a caring and supportive presence" and highlighted her "understated bravura".[64] Similar sentiments were echoed by ABS-CBNnews.com's Fred Hawson, who commended her "sweet maternal interaction".[61] She won Best Supporting Actress at the 2023 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.[65] The Missing was submitted for consideration at the 96th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film.[66] De Leon served as jury president of the 2023 Summer Metro Manila Film Festival.[67] The Petersen Vargas-directed black comedy A Very Good Girl, opposite Kathryn Bernardo, was De Leon's next release of the year. Playing the character of a powerful and demanding retail mogul was a departure from De Leon's previous "gritty roles" and an experience she found enjoyable.[68] MovieWeb's Greg Archer called the film a "quirky and fun ride", and considered De Leon to be "deliciously savage and thoroughly fun to experience".[69] A Very Good Girl was a commercial success, earning over ₱100 million (US$2.03 million), making it one of the highest-grossing Filipino films of 2023.[70]

De Leon began 2024 with two releases that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. She executive produced and starred in Ghostlight, a comedy drama directed by Kelly O'Sullivan and Alex Thompson.[71] Set in Chicago, the film depicts De Leon as a community theater performer who encourages a dejected construction worker (played by Keith Kupferer) to take part in their production of Romeo and Juliet. The critic Adrian Horton of The Guardian noted how much De Leon's character "blazes in every scene, not missing a single ego-deflating punchline",[72] while The Hollywood Reporter's Jon Frosch found her portrayal of the "bossy, chain-smoking, F-bomb-dropping actress" to have the "right balance of absurdity and pathos".[73] In Nathan Silver's comedy film Between the Temples, she played an overbearing stepmother to Jason Schwartzman's character, who falls in love with his grade school music teacher.[74] Critics generally praised the film for its offbeat comedy and were enthusiastic about its plot elements.[75]

De Leon will next star, alongside Nicole Kidman, in the second season of the Hulu thriller drama series Nine Perfect Strangers, based on the 2018 novel by Liane Moriarty.[76] She will also play a role in Paul Feig's action comedy Grand Death Lotto for Amazon Prime Video.[77]

Personal life

De Leon stated in 2023 that she was separated and is a single parent who raised four children. She resides in an apartment with her family, and said that she enjoys domestic routines like reading books, going to beaches, and playing board games.[78] When discussing her insecurities, she initially considered herself to be socially reticent due to early career struggles but has since gained confidence.[79] She has cited the actress Isabelle Huppert as an influence and believes that her eyes alone express emotions. She also admires Meryl Streep's acting versatility.[80] As an actor who made her breakthrough in her 50s, De Leon is an advocate for diversity in roles that older women play on screen, arguing that they should not be typecast to maternal characters.[81]

In 2013, De Leon co-founded Ladies Who Launch, a social services organization which provides outreach to underserved communities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the group curated soup kitchens in support of efforts to address food insecurity. She also took part in Project Hulmahan, an initiative which auctioned paintings to raise money for community livelihood programs.[82] In 2023, De Leon taught a master class at the University of the Philippines Diliman's Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts.[83]

British Vogue named De Leon one of the 30 most famous stars in the world in 2023.[84] That same year, she was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,[85] and she was honored with the Arts and Culture Award by Tatler Philippines.[86]
