Early life

Doria graduated with a degree in AB Humanities from the University of the Philippines. [1] In her time at UP, she also wrote film reviews for the magazine of The Manila Times . [2]

Career

Doria was working at an automotive office when one day in 1976 she accompanied her actress friend Nympha Bonifacio to the set of her film The College Girls. She was noticed by director Emmanuel Borlaza, who cast her on the spot for a scene with Eddie Gutierrez. Impressed, Borlaza wanted to add her to more scenes, but she had already left the set due to her office job. After another meeting with Borlaza, he and Bonifacio helped her start her acting career. [1]

In 1977, Doria appeared in such movies as Elektrika Kasi, Eh!, Tisoy! , Babae!, Iligpit Si Pretty Boy, and Burlesk Queen, starring Vilma Santos and Rosemarie Gil, among others.

She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 1978 FAMAS Award for the movie Inay. [1] She also received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress Gawad Urian Awards in Moral (1982).

Doria appeared on several game shows in the 2000s, appearing on Family Feud and then winning P300,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? [3] [4] In 2002, she joined the cast of the IBC-13 police tv show S.A.T.S.U. [5] She also gave an excellent performance that year in the film Mga Munting Tinig, in which she played a school principal. [6] For her performance, she was nominated once again for a Best Supporting Actress award in the Gawad Urian Awards, but lost to Elizabeth Oropesa. [7] She got to act with Oropesa in the film Homecoming a year later. [8]

Doria alternated between GMA and TV5 in 2010, appearing on both the comedy musical series Diva and the horror series Midnight DJ. [9] [10] In 2014, she joined the cast of GMA's Hiram na Alaala . [11] In 2017, she finally got her first lead role in the film Paki, in which she played Noel Trinidad's wife of 50 years. Paki won Best Picture at the Cinema One Originals Film Festival, while she received a Best Actress nomination in that film festival. [1] [12]

In 2021, Doria finally won FAMAS Best Supporting Actress, a Gawad Urian Award, and a Gawad Tanglaw for Memories of Forgetting. In that film she played a mother suffering from Alzheimer's. [13] She also played an activist nun in the musical film Katips that year. [14] In 2022, she was a regular cast member of the GMA Network hit drama series Abot-Kamay na Pangarap , she played the role of Susanna "Susan" Burgos, a former cruel yet loving, kind-hearted, fierce, and supportive stepmother to Lyneth which is played by Carmina Villarroel and the step-grandmother to Analyn, which is played by Jillian Ward. [15] [16] The show was a ratings hit, beating all the evening primetime shows in the country. [17]

Personal life

Doria was married in her teens, and they had a son. Their marriage only lasted two years. [2] Although she got into several other relationships later on in life, she is still single. [1]

As a UP student, Doria took part in the First Quarter Storm. [14] In 2022, she launched the digital show Didi Serye on her social media accounts in which she informed viewers about facts on the Martial Law era. [18]
