With a new romance at the age of 81, Roberto Carlos dated a Globo actress for the first time

In a press conference for his traditional musical cruise “Emoções em Alto-Mar”, Roberto Carlos revealed that he is dating. “But I won’t say who, no,” he warned, laughing.

After three marriages (with Nice, Myriam Rios and Maria Rita), the singer does not rule out a new union. “It depends on the person I meet, on deciding whether or not to go home. I have nothing against it. Marriage is a healthy thing. It depends on how the couple get along.”

While the media does not discover the identity of RC’s new muse, Sala de TV remembers his first girlfriend. The lucky one was the actress Maria Gladys.

“We were in love as teenagers. I was in love with him. He was so handsome, we were young, we were 16, 17,” he told the newspaper ‘Extra’.

“At that time it was starting and we were doing a show on TV Tupi. When it really broke out, I wasn’t his girlfriend anymore.

The mentioned attraction was called “Clube do Rock”, a new talent show presented by Carlos Imperial. Maria danced on stage. Roberto Carlos sang in search of artistic recognition.

The two took different paths. He has become the most popular singer and one of the richest in Brazil. He has built a career of ups and downs between dramaturgy, theater and cinema.

When she was dating the future ‘king’ of romance, Maria Gladys already had a son. She had given birth to her at 15, when she lived in the suburbs of Rio, away from the glamor of the southern waterfront.

In an appearance on TV Record, in 2021, she confessed that she had snubbed her boyfriend who dreamed of stardom. “I just wanted to know about theater,” she said. They met again a few times in concerts over the following decades. “We love.”

At the beginning of her acting career, Gladys acted alongside Fernanda Montenegro. A few years later, when she starred in the play “O Chão dos Penitentes”, she appeared on the poster with her breasts showing.

That gesture of freedom and audacity resulted in repeated invitations to film with great directors. In the early 80’s, she was discovered by television. You have made successful productions such as “Bandidos da Falange” and “Grande Sertão: Veredas”.

She rose to worldwide fame when she played the foul-mouthed waitress Lucimar in the soap opera ‘Vale Tudo’ in 1988. The audience was thrilled by the scenes where she clashed with the villain Maria de Fátima (Gloria Pires).

Despite being talented and loved behind the scenes, Maria never landed a lead role on TV. When her invitations began to dwindle and she found herself agonizing over the rent every month, she decided to move away from Rio.

He settled on the farm bought by his daughter in a small town in Minas Gerais. He lives on retirement. “Here I drink my beer, smoke my marijuana, because I’m from the Woodstock generation,” she said in an interview.

His latest work in television was the series “Pé na Cova”, written and performed by his friend Miguel Falabella. In 2022, Gladys returned to Rio to film “A Fúria”, by Ruy Guerra.

Still unreleased, the film made headlines after photos leaked that showed a lookalike of then-President Jair Bolsonaro with his throat slit, lounging next to a motorcycle.

At the age of 83, Maria Gladys follows the success of her granddaughter Mia Goth from afar. Born in London, the 29-year-old actress is the new diva of horror cinema. She is in the features “X” and “Pearl”, among others.

In an interview with ‘Cultured Magazine’, Mia said that her Brazilian grandmother is her biggest inspiration. She “she has a great life, she’s been through a lot and she’s always encouraged me to expand my universe.”
