Brazilian passions: what the actors of the 90s soap operas look like now (11 photos)

Yes, there were times when Brazilian TV series regularly gathered their fans in front of the silver screen. We ran home after work to turn on the next episode and find out who stopped loving whom again and who set up whom. Hot girls and boys excited the imagination, and the names of these screen heroes were known to both old and young. Let's remember the most popular actors in Brazilian TV series of that time and find out what happened to them.

Caroline Diekmann (37)

The directors of the Globu television company noticed the young talent at the age of 13, and since then Carolina has regularly starred in TV series. She gained popularity with us thanks to her roles in the TV series “Tropicaliente”, where she played the young girl Azucena, “In the Name of Love” - the role of Katarina, as well as the role of Camila, a leukemia patient, in “Family Ties” and gentle Isabel in “Mistress of Fate” ". Now Carolina is 37 years old, she is a popular actress and a very beautiful woman. Among his latest works is the series “St. George the Victorious.”

Ana Paula Arosio (40)

Nature rewarded this woman with a shock of black hair and stunning blue eyes. It is not surprising that Ana Paulo worked as a model before making a career in television. But the choice was still made in favor of television. Her most famous role is the emigrant Juliano in the TV series “Land of Love”. Now Ana Paula still remains a sought-after TV series actress.

Reinaldo Gianecchini (43)

This actor was Ana Paula's partner in the series "Land of Love, Land of Hope." Reynaldo played his first role in the TV series “Family Ties” in 2000, and after this role he began to be called the sex symbol of Brazil. Despite his legal education, Reynaldo worked as a model for a long time and until 2006 was married to the famous TV presenter Marilia Gabriela (born 1948). Now Reynaldo almost never acts as he is fighting a serious illness - in 2010 he was diagnosed with lymphoma.

Antonio Fagundes (66)

Antonio Fagundes played in a huge number of TV series - “New Victim”, “Fatal Inheritance”, “In the Name of Love”, “Land of Love” and many others. Due to his exclusively positive charisma and charm, he prefers to play positive characters. Today the actor is 66 years old and continues to appear in TV series. One of his last works was his role in the series “Love of Life” in 2013.

Raul Cortes

Raul Cortes proudly bore the title of the best actor in Brazil. At the age of 20, he did not even think about an acting career and was building a career as a lawyer. But then he decided to exchange the court for the stage, and later began acting in films. He has produced 66 theatrical productions, 20 TV series, 6 miniseries, and 28 films. Rahul was on the set until his death. In 2006, the actor died after complications caused by pancreatic cancer.

Regina Duarte (69)

We know this actress thanks to the series “Love Story” and “In the Name of Love”. Now the actress is 69 years old and she almost never acts, preferring to engage in politics: Regina joined the Brazilian Social Democratic Party. Regina devotes her free time to raising three grandchildren, and her work on the screen is continued by her daughter Gabriela Duarte (41).

Susana Vieira (73)

Fans of Brazilian TV series will probably remember this actress. Suzana was born into a family of diplomats, received a good education and at first wanted to become a ballerina, but suddenly became interested in cinema. She made her television debut in 1962. She has starred in more than 50 TV series. Despite her success in cinema, the actress’s personal life was not the best. Suzana was married three times, her last husband was 28 years younger than her. The marriage ended in a huge scandal when the actress discovered that her husband was cheating on her. A month later, the ex-husband died from a cocaine overdose.

Gloria Pires (52)

Gloria Pires is one of the most famous Brazilian actresses in Russia. In "The Secret of the Tropican" she masterfully played two roles of twin sisters. In "Fatal Inheritance" Gloria played the intriguing Rafaela. Gloria Pires was married twice, she is the mother of four children, and her daughter from her first marriage, Cleo, is also an actress. His latest work to date is a role in the TV series “Babylon”.

Now his life is connected with the circus: he is the owner of the circus and the founder of the Brazilian University of Circus and a center for training professionals in the field of circus arts.

Regina Dorado

Regina Dorado was remembered by the audience for her incredible charm and infectious smile. We remember her from such TV series as “Tropicana”, “Fatal Inheritance” and “Cruel Angel”. In 2012, Regina died of cancer at the age of 59. She never became discouraged and did not give up until her last day.

Tony Ramos (67)

Tony Ramos is a Brazilian actor, director, producer, screenwriter and television presenter. We saw him in such TV series as “New Victim”, “Family Ties”, “Tower of Babel”. In the TV series “The New Victim,” Tony Ramos’s character, named Beetle Mestieri, was remembered by viewers for his increased… hairiness. In Brazil there is even a saying about very hairy people: “He’s like Tony Ramos.” Now Tony continues to act in TV series and play in the theater. An interesting fact: he flatly refuses to play villains, assuring that his role is only for honest and decent people.
