Here’s Eugene’s

This is really it for Eugene Domingo.

"Thirty-eight na ako, ‘pag hindi ko pa gagawin ‘to, mabubulok na ako," she says, half in jest.

The admired actress and comedienne is launched in her first (and second, according to the movie’s website) starring role in "Kimmy Dora (Kambal sa Kiyeme)," where she plays twins Kimmy and Dora Go Dong Hae.

Uge, as she is fondly called, is overjoyed and grateful for the break given to her by Spring Films, the production company formed by Piolo Pascual and friends, business manager Erickson Raymundo, cinematographer Shayne Sarte and director Bb. Joyce Bernal.

Until "Kimmy Dora," Uge has mostly been relegated to the role of best friend or sidekick, but she is proof of the saying "there are no small roles, only small actors" with her memorable characters not only making lasting imprints but also earning her innumerable praise from critics. Now it’s Uge’s turn to shine and be the star!

"’Yun nga ang tinatanong ko sa Diyos, bakit nangyayari ito sa akin. Siguro may mensahe ito sa lahat ng Pilipino na wag

kayong mawawalan ng pag-asa. Kung nangyari sa akin, baka mangyari din sa inyo, ‘di ba? Hindi naman kailangan na maging leading lady e saksakan ng ganda," she says, "puwede naman yung parang maganda kapag naayusan. Ganun. So okay na ‘yun at saka meron naman tayong tinatawag na mga pelikula na fantasy, eto na siguro ‘yun. Magic. Parang ‘Harry Potter’ lang," she jokingly adds.

"Damang-dama ko ang suporta ng mga tao, mula sa direktor, sa producer na si Papa Piolo, saleading man na si Mr. Dingdong Dantes at sa lahat ng mga artista bale na nakikihalo sa amin. Damang-dama ko ang suporta, parang gusto lang naman nilang makasama sa pelikulang masaya.

In this outrageous comedy written by Chris Martinez and directed by Bb. Bernal, Eugene’s roles are exact opposite. Kimmy is smart, sexy and sophisticated while Dora is simple, sweet, and slow. Riot happens when a man – the handsome Johnson, played by Dingdong Dantes – and the Go Dong Hae fortune come in between the sisters.

"Kimmy Dora" is from Spring Films in association with MJM Productions. It is being released by Star Cinema and showing on September 2.
