Irreverent, she often performed in comedy roles. In Caminho das Índias, another soap opera on Brazilian TV, she made the audience laugh with her bumbling character Dayse.[1] She participated in several soap operas and mini-series, among them Um Só Coração, produced by Rede Globo, where she played the painter Anita Malfatti. She also played a character in Cortina de Vidro by Walcyr Carrasco.
