Dianne Marie Romana Ahmee (born November 13, 1984) known professionally as Dimples Romana, is a Filipino actress. Noted for her acclaimed performances in film and television, she made her first screen appearance through the series Esperanza. Her accolades include three Gawad Tanglaw Awards, a Metro Manila Film Festival Award, and two PMPC Star Awards for Television, in addition to nominations from the Asian Academy Creative Awards, FAMAS Awards, Gawad Urian Awards and Golden Screen Awards. She is currently one of the jurors of the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.[3]

Career

[edit]

Romana graduated with International Hospitality Management Major in Culinary Arts at Enderun College. After she finished her studies, Romana's first appearance as a supporting antagonist role on TV was via Esperanza in 1997; and after which she became one of the stars of the ABS-CBN series, Tabing Ilog in 1999. Romana, who was taking up BS Tourism in University of Santo Tomas (UST) College of Education, was the courtside reporter on games involving the UST Growling Tigers on the 2002 season of ABS-CBN's coverage of the UAAP men's basketball tournament.[4]

In 2005, she was cast on ABS-CBN's Ang Panday. Additionally, she was in Dubai. The next year she starred in Pacquiao: The Movie and the horror film, Wag Kang Lilingon. Romana also starred in 2007 film One More Chance.

In 2008, she once again co-starred in the Star Cinema's film When Love Begins. She was cast in the film Love Me Again.[5]

In 2009, Romana starred in the television series Only You.[6]

In 2010, Romana played Criselda Barrameda, the main antagonist of the series Agua Bendita.[7] Later that year, she was in the remake version of Mara Clara as Alvira Del Valle. Her character name was renamed from Almira to Alvira, which was first portrayed by Beverly Vergel.[8]

In 2019, she gained mainstream recognition as Daniella Mondragon-Bartolome in the afternoon drama series Kadenang Ginto. A still photo of Romana's character flamboyantly strolling with a briefcase later became the subject of an internet meme, spawning numerous photoshopped images of the Daniela character being depicted as traveling to different places and fictional universes.[9][10] Romana would later parody her role in a number of commercials and guest appearances, and was named an ambassador for the Department of Tourism.[11]

After giving birth to her third child, she joined The Iron Heart as Selene, one of the major figures under the Tatsulok crime syndicate of the series. [12] In 2024, she played a role on a sequel series to Senior High as the main antagonist Victoria "Tori" Soler, High Street.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

Romana married Romeo "Boyet" Adecer Ahmee Jr. in 2004. They have three children, Christiana Amanda Lauren "Callie" (born 2003), Alonzo Romeo Jose (born 2015), and Elio Juan Manolo (born 2022).[14]

20-year-old Callie studied aviation in Gold Coast, Queensland in August 2022 and became a licensed commercial pilot on February 28, 2024.[15][16]
