“Paulo and I had a very strong stage affinity. So much so that we met on stage, right?” Said the actress.

“Director Roberto Talma wanted Doña Benta to have an identification with the girl of today, but preserving the essence of the character,” he said about the performance.

“I found the idea of ​​her communicating with Pedrinho via the Internet very interesting, and at the same time telling her grandson: ‘Look, it’s been a while since you wrote me a letter or a note. We should not simply communicate through the computer. The emotion of writing is great and I want to feel that feeling: “The public knew me as Doña Benta.”

After working on TV Continental with Paulo Goulart, he debuted in his first telenovela with “Os fantoches”, in 1967, on TV Excelsior.

Then he returned to Tupi to obtain great successes, such as “My orange tilo” (1970), “We were six” (1977) and “How to save my marriage” (1979). Unfinished, the novel was the last of the defunct season.

Later she was in “Louco Amor” (1983), by Gilberto Braga, in which she played the cook Isolda.
