Rarelle Schumann: Find out how the former Globo actress found in precarious conditions

The trajectory of Rigane SchumannNow 74, it is characterized by intense contrasts: by the TV studios, where he acted in famous soap opera, in a small apartment in precarious conditions in Porto Alegre, where he currently lives forgotten, sick and surrounded by garbage and loneliness. The story came to light in early September, when the activist for animals Deise Falci He replied, with the civil police, a complaint of abuse that involves animals in a residence in the state capital-not aware that there would be an ex-Brazilian television actress who lived in a critical situation.

On the scene, Deise came across Rejane, visibly disoriented, poorly treated and without any kind of medical or family care nearby. The former actress, who divided the space with two cats, White and Pikachu, showed difficulty in maintaining the house in minimal hygiene conditions. The rooms were taken from garbage bags, accumulated dishes and food remains. The refrigerator contained only empty packaging, an evident sign of scarcity of food. Since then, Rejane has been fed exclusively through donations made by neighbors and volunteers sensitized with his state.

Deise recorded videos that have virals on social networks, exposing the artist’s sad reality and the warning on his vulnerability. In a record, Rejane seems to try to organize some of his books and personal objects in the middle of the disorder. When asked about the house situation, he replies with a disconnected speech: “My books, I have to put in order”, Trying to maintain a little dignity in the middle of chaos. The activist also said that during a conversation, the actress was unable to remember a recent visit to her granddaughter, who would take responsibility for her.

Despite the disorientation and the adverse environment, Rejane still shows lucidity in talking about the past. With brightness in the eyes, he recalls the years in which he worked as a journalist and actress. “I was a police journalist for three years”, He said with pride. On his artistic career, he clearly mentions some of the productions in which he participated: “I did a soap opera at six, about three or four. Dancin ‘Days, Magic Mirror …”, Remember, in a moment of connection with its history. “He loves to say it to the past”, Note Deise, enthusiastic.

The actress, born in Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, in 1949, had a remarkable trajectory on television, theater and literature. Graduated in Law and show arts, Rejane obtained notoriety in the 70s acting in soap opera as The star (1970), Dancin ‘Days (1978), Hero Father (1979) e Magic mirror (1977), productions that have marked time in the Brazilian television drama. In addition to his work on the screens, he also wrote books and acted as a lawyer, being a multifaceted woman and in advance of the times.

Today, however, reality is difficult. Far from the spotlight, Rejane faces memory problems, lives in an unhealthy environment and has only the help of a few acquaintances and activists such as Deise, who have fought for institutional, family and medical support for the actress. The situation also raises a delicate debate on the abandonment of the elderly artists in Brazil, in particular those who, even having contributed to the culture of the country, are forgotten over time.

Many fans, when they know Rejane’s situation, showed support on social networks and mobilized to help her with donations and messages of affection. The hope is that, with the case exhibition, the artist receives the assistance necessary to regain his dignity and have a more peaceful end of life, surrounded by treatments, respect and, perhaps, happy new memories.
