At 11 years old, Barbie Forteza was able to captivate the hearts of many because of her compelling acting skills.

One person who can attest to that is Stairway To Heaven director Joyce Bernal who screened the now 22-year-old-actress during her audition for the role of young Jodi in the program.

As the 2009 GMA series comes back on television, Kapuso viewers can't help but laud Barbie anew for her impressive performance in the classic drama, which is her first TV project with the network.

According to some viewers, the Kapuso star was successful in bringing back the same nostalgic feeling they felt when they first watched the local adaptation of Stairway To Heaven.

One netizen tweeted, "Hanggang ngayon galing talaga ni Barbie, walang kupas!"

No wonder why Barbie emerged as one of the best actresses of her generation, hence dubbing her as the Kapuso Primetime Princess!
