Dolly De Leon is a veteran stage and screen actress from the Philippines. She received her long-overdue international breakout role in Ruben Östlund’s 2022 critically acclaimed feature TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and was released in theaters by Neon. De Leon was awarded the Best Supporting Actor prize by the LA Film Critics Association and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role—the first Filipino to be nominated in an acting category at either association.
More recently, De Leon starred in the Filipino box office sensation A VERY GOOD GIRL co-starring Kathryn Bernardo, the drama KEYS TO THE HEART in which she plays the mother of an autistic piano virtuoso, and THE MISSING, the first feature-length animated film to play at the Cinemalaya festival. THE MISSING won Best Film at the festival and Dolly was awarded Best Supporting Actress and a special NETPAC award for her performance. It was selected as the official Oscar entry for the Philippines this year.
Most recently, Dolly appeared in Jackpot! alongside Awkwafina and Between The Temples with Jason Schwartzman.
