## Pageant career
Dixson entered show business through pageantry. Competing as Binibini #28 in the [Binibining Pilipinas](https://www.edgepedia.org/binibining-pilipinas) 1986 pageant, the 5'7" Filipina-American won all three special awards that year, Miss Photogenic, Miss Creamsilk Dream Girl, and Miss Talent, and took the Binibining Pilipinas International title[2](https://sashesandscripts.wordpress.com/2020/05/02/alice-dixson-binibining-pilipinas-international-1986/comment-page-1/). She then represented the Philippines at Miss International 1986 in Japan, where she reached the Top 15; she was the only winner in her Binibining Pilipinas batch to place as a semifinalist that year[2](https://sashesandscripts.wordpress.com/2020/05/02/alice-dixson-binibining-pilipinas-international-1986/comment-page-1/) • [3](https://www.pep.ph/news/68642/alice-dixson-cheering-for-miss-international-bet-mariel-de-leon).
Decades later she remained identified with the title. In a 2017 interview she said that of everything in her 30-year showbiz career, the achievement she most wanted to look back on was joining Binibining Pilipinas, and she publicly supported that year's Philippine Miss International candidate, Mariel de Leon[3](https://www.pep.ph/news/68642/alice-dixson-cheering-for-miss-international-bet-mariel-de-leon). She also appeared as a supporter at the 65th [Miss Universe](https://www.edgepedia.org/miss-universe) competition in Manila in January 2017, where [Maxine Medina](https://www.edgepedia.org/maxine-medina) represented the Philippines[11](https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/watch-alice-dixson-sinagot-ang-tanong-sa-qa-ni-maxine-medina/28467/).
## Acting career
**Breakthrough.** After her reign, Dixson entered commercials and showbiz. She became widely known through the Palmolive "I can feel it!" television commercial, which a Philippine Star profile described as part of local pop history[4](https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2001/12/15/143692/alice-back-movieland). In 1987 she was cast as Faye, Vic Sotto's fairy wife, in the top-rating sitcom *Okay Ka, Fairy Ko!*, a role she played from 1987 to 1991[7](https://www.pep.ph/guide/tv/143741/binibining-pilipinas-candidates-turned-tv-and-movie-actresses-a724-a720-20190608-lfrm3). Her film debut came with *Bobo Cop* opposite Joey Marquez under Regal Films, followed by *Nagbabagang Luha* (1988) alongside Lorna Tolentino[7](https://www.pep.ph/guide/tv/143741/binibining-pilipinas-candidates-turned-tv-and-movie-actresses-a724-a720-20190608-lfrm3). She played the title character in the 1990 film *Dyesebel* opposite [Richard Gomez](https://www.edgepedia.org/richard-gomez)[7](https://www.pep.ph/guide/tv/143741/binibining-pilipinas-candidates-turned-tv-and-movie-actresses-a724-a720-20190608-lfrm3).
Through the late 1980s and 1990s she worked steadily in Regal and Viva productions, including *Sinungaling Mong Puso*, *Pangako Ng Kahapon*, *Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang?*, and *The Jessica Alfaro Story*[7](https://www.pep.ph/guide/tv/143741/binibining-pilipinas-candidates-turned-tv-and-movie-actresses-a724-a720-20190608-lfrm3). For *Sambahin Ang Ngalan Mo* she won the best actress award at the 1998 Manila Film Festival[4](https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2001/12/15/143692/alice-back-movieland). The Young Critics Circle nominated her performance in *Bakit ngayon ka lang?* (1994) for its acting award[12](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1232141/awards/).
**Breaks and returns.** Dixson left the limelight at the height of her career when she married Ronnie Miranda, head of Stormviz, and moved to Vancouver, Canada[4](https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2001/12/15/143692/alice-back-movieland). She took a break from showbiz in 1999, returned to the Philippines in 2002 for the GMA-7 teleserye *Ang Iibigin Ay Ikaw* and its sequel, left again in 2005, and came back to acting in 2011 through TV5's first teleserye, *Babaeng Hampaslupa*[7](https://www.pep.ph/guide/tv/143741/binibining-pilipinas-candidates-turned-tv-and-movie-actresses-a724-a720-20190608-lfrm3). Her 13-year marriage, which had kept her living abroad, ended in divorce finalized in February 2013; the couple had no children[8](https://qa.philstar.com/entertainment/2013/11/25/1260463/alice-ive-loved-lost-learned).
In her second run she moved between networks and genres: the TV5 soap *Glamorosa* and the [Metro Manila Film Festival](https://www.edgepedia.org/metro-manila-film-festival) entry *Ang Panday 2* (2011), the remake *When The Love Is Gone* (2013), the GMA series *Marimar* (2015), and the horror film *The Ghost Bride* (2017), for which she earned nominations for Movie Supporting Actress of the Year at the Star Awards for Movies and Best Supporting Actress at the Eddys in 2018[12](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1232141/awards/) • [13](https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/showbiz/chikaminute/523562/for-alice-dixson-marimar-role-serves-as-distraction-from-death-of-her-mom/story/). Later television credits include *Ang Probinsyano*, *Ngayon at Kailanman*, *Legal Wives*, and a main-cast role as Ingrid Domingo in the GMA primetime series *First Lady* (2022)[9](https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2022/03/13/2166822/alice-dixson-most-important-role-ive-ever-played-being-mom) • [14](https://www.philstar.com/pang-masa/pang-movies/2022/02/06/2158907/alice-walang-natipuhang-pulitiko). In 2024 she served as one of the judges of *It's Showtime*'s Magpasikat anniversary special[15](https://corporate.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2024/9/0/team-ogie-kim-lassy-and-mc-wins-its-showtime-m?lang=en), and in 2026 she was announced as part of the cast of *Project B*, a Regal Entertainment romantic comedy starring [Rico Blanco](https://www.edgepedia.org/rico-blanco) and [Sue Ramirez](https://www.edgepedia.org/sue-ramirez) and directed by Eric Quizon[10](https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/sparkle-stars-join-romcom-movie-project-b-featuring-rico-blanco-alice-dixson/132108).
## Motherhood and later work
Dixson became a first-time mother at 51. She has said her path to parenthood took about ten years: she first froze her eggs at 40, and conceived at 51, announcing the arrival of her daughter Aura on April 2, 2021[9](https://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2022/03/13/2166822/alice-dixson-most-important-role-ive-ever-played-being-mom). She has called motherhood "the best role of my life," the one she cherishes most among all the roles she has played[16](https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/alice-dixson-on-being-a-mom-in-her-50s-this-is-the-best-role-of-my-life/97254/).
Beyond acting, she describes herself on her official website as an actress, commercial model, and content creator, and offers endorsements, hosting, and social media collaborations[17](https://www.alicedixson.com/). She has also expanded into real estate[6](https://kami.com.ph/entertainment/celebrities/184098-alice-dixson-ibinahagi-ang-insidente-sa-resort-maligo-muna-bago-magpapicture/), and in 2026 she served as a brand ambassador for the Century Tuna Superbods fitness campaign[18](https://qa.philstar.com/entertainment/2026/08/16/2549686/ageless-alice-dixson-superbods-finalists-let-yourself-shine/amp/).
