The late actress talks to the equally unforgettable Antônio Abujamra about the damage of obsession with fame
One of the ways humans forge immortality is by making a brilliant statement about something. Beatriz Segall has marked her name in the history of dramatic art not only with memorable performances, but also with inspiring quotes.
The actress didn’t feel very comfortable in interviews. Despite this, she has always presented her intelligence and her precise vision of the world to the interlocutor and the public. It happened when you came face to face with Antônio Abujamra on TV Cultura’s “Provocações” program.
The episode originally aired in 2014 had an excerpt that went viral on social media in the past few days. In it, the actress comments on an anomaly in the artistic universe. “When we started, the actors were very concerned about training, about getting information, about reading, about learning, about seeing what was going on outside, about trying to do a Brazilian theater,” she says.
“Today there is no such concern anymore. The biggest concern, I think, is appearing on television. Because it’s so easy, you go on television and 15 days later you’re a celebrity. I think it’s so fun to call someone a celebrity because he works on television, playing a small role. “
Wise words. In the media society we live in, being anonymous is almost a flaw. There is a real obsession with ‘getting’ famous as soon as possible in order to get privileged treatment, feel superior to others and have the much desired sense of belonging. Fame would be, under this distorted view, an antidote to an unimportant existence.
There is also the financial interest. Appearing on TV allows you to earn good rewards with advertising and ‘VIP presence’ at events. A fierce television critic, theater director Antunes Filho used to say, with his peculiar sour humor, that well-mannered actors lent themselves to soap operas just for the sake of having money to buy expensive appliances.
Immortalized by the role of villain Odete Roitman in “Vale Tudo” (1988), Beatriz Segall sought a solid academic training. With a scholarship, she studied theater and literature in Paris. She only went on TV at the age of 30, when she was already respected in the theater. She has always rejected the stardom label and kept her life safe from invasion of privacy.
She will always be remembered for her talent and characters, not overexposed intimate issues, as so many occasional exhibitionists and famous actors do today, driven by mere opportunism. The actress died in September 2018 at the age of 92.
