Career

edit

She made her debut as an actress when she participated in the Memorial de Maria Moura mini-series in 1994. It was a quick participation of just one episode in which the protagonist, Maria Moura, as a young woman, was replaced by her mother, Glória Pires, in the adulthood of the character. After that, she distanced herself from TV and the media, believing that she had no vocation to follow in her mother's footsteps. Cleo says she saw Gloria working day and night without stopping, the press invading her privacy and the phone ringing all the time, and that she did not want it for her future.[3] She still says she just did not stand in the middle before, out of lack of will. Not that she had anything against her career, but it was something she did not think about, it was not in her head. A curious fact is that even the film being one of her passions, when asked if she wanted to be an actress, immediately thought of novels and theater, things that had no interest or curiosity.[4]

Cleo says that she was surprised by such trust placed in her and therefore accepted the invitation. After much training and many rehearsals, since she had never made movies before, she filmed the film, whose script was based on the eponymous book by Chico Buarque.

In 2004, she was invited to star in the remake of the novel Cabocla, in the title role interpreted by her mother in the 1979 version. To avoid comparisons, and, believing that it would be too much responsibility to star in a novela and did not have enough preparation, the invitation, being replaced by the actress Vanessa Giácomo, who got the better after a battery of tests.

She shot to fame as one of the great revelations of the national drama, in interpreting the sexy Lurdinha novel América, Globo in 2005, becoming a sex symbol. That same year, she was named the sexiest woman in the Brazil.[6] According to Cleo, she only accepted the invitation to make the novela by knowing as much work as the author of its director, and, therefore, believe that it would be a good experience for her life.[3] Also in 2005, Cleo attended the special program of the final year of the globe, in interpreting Cleopatra in the children's special, Clara e o Chuveiro do Tempo. She would also do a part in the special edition of the humorous Casseta & Planeta, Urgente! of end of year, however, due to health problems, was replaced by the singer Wanessa Camargo.[7] In 2006, she played the rebel Letícia in Cobras & Lagartos.

For the paid channel Telecine Premium, hosted the Cineview, program that showed the news of the world of the cinema . After a reformulation, the attraction was called Moviebox, with a presentation by Daniel de Oliveira. In that same period, after almost two years of negotiations, she accepted to be cover of the magazine Nova, where she posed wearing only collars and a panties, lavishing style and sensuality.[8]
