Dolly de Leon talks about Nine Perfect Strangers and more
-
HULU’S Nine Perfect Strangers, an American drama series about nine people who go to a wellness resort to be healed and transformed, has released its second season on Prime Video.
Set in a secluded resort in the Austrian Alps, the show welcomes back Nicole Kidman as the mysterious wellness guru Masha Dmitrichenko. Here, she leads the transformational retreat for nine new characters, one of whom is played by Filipino actress Dolly de Leon.
Her role in the show is that of Sister Agnes, marking Ms. De Leon’s first time to delve into the psyche of a nun. Business-World spoke to the actress before the Philippine premiere of the first two episodes, commemorated by a watch party at Circuit, Makati.
“I really dug deep to play Sister Agnes, and I tried to find out what makes her tick by talking to a psychiatrist friend, and also a nun friend of mine, Sister Mary John,” she said.
Ms. De Leon describes the character as “earthy, constantly searching for answers, and always wanting to help, with a very broad view of the world.”
