Dolly made history as the first Filipino to receive nominations for both a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Triangle of Sadness (2022).
In a one-on-one conversation with fellow Request sa Radyo headliner Lea Salonga on Request sa Radyo, uploaded on the State of the Arts YouTube channel in 2024, Dolly opened up about how she navigated her newfound fame following her breakthrough role.
"I think one way of coping that I did was I called and got in touch with my friends who were already very successful at that point because in my batch of theater students, all of them were flying high. All of them were successful. I was the only one still struggling so by the time that was happening to me, everyone already knew what I was feeling so it was easy to just call them and say, 'Uy ano ba 'to guys? It's crazy what's happening," she said.
Dolly confessed that it took a while to "absorb what was happening" following the release of Triangle of Sadness. She eventually came to accept that her role as an actress extends beyond the set.
"It took me about a year and a half to finally just come to terms with okay, this is really how it works. This is the business. The job doesn't end on set. After that, you have to do a lot of other things," she said.

The actress added that she later came to view the attention she was receiving as a gift.
"I realized I shouldn't be resisting it. This is actually a gift but kasi it happened to me in my 50s so I was not accustomed to that," she stated.
She added: "It was only now that I'm more comfortable in my own skin and I'm just accepting. [Sabi nila], 'Di ba Dolly ito 'yung gusto mo to do more meaningful and relevant work?' And sometimes with success, you get to choose what to do which I never had a choice ever on anything that I did. But now I do so now I've come to terms with it.”
