The actor had an incredible ability to create great moments by improvising on stage.
In a recording of “Vamp”, Ney Latorraca improvised a commentary from his character, the vampire Vlad, by biting a victim’s neck. “Huuumm, gouty!” The childish game made it even more loved by children and teenagers who followed Globo’s 7 o’clock soap opera.
His inventiveness and stage intelligence were also seen in the humorous ‘TV Pirata’. It made Seu Barbosa, who only repeated his own name, the most popular character thanks to his exaggerated beak and hilarious facial expressions.
It was the actor, victim of complications due to cancer at the age of 80. In comedy and drama, he has contributed to television drama for more than half a century. He started with supporting roles, without speaking roles.
His ability to impose his presence in front of the cameras earned him space until he stole the spotlight, was considered a heartthrob and posed half-naked for posters in magazines aimed at female television audiences.
Ney has never been afraid to dare. In “Um Sonho a Mais”, her character wore several disguises, including that of secretary Anabela. Censorship inspectors were furious when they saw the actor dressed as a woman and prevented scenes in which he kissed another actor and an actress on the mouth.
Unfortunately, aging has reduced the number of offers for good roles. The artist realized that television had become too small for him. He took the initiative to gradually distance himself from studies.
Health problems compromised his career even in the last years of his life. He left the scene without having received the deserved honors for his great talent and collaboration in transforming television into art, but with a gigantic legacy.
Admittedly proud of himself, he loved being stopped in the street by admirers. Many called him ‘Seu Neyla’, confusing the name with part of his surname. In an interview with the column, in September 2022, the artist commented on his upcoming eightieth birthday. “No one can take away my space,” he joked.
He admitted to having high self-esteem. “…18 inch body My vanity is healthy, it doesn’t hurt anyone.” And he sent a message to his version of the past. “I wish young Latorraca would do it all over again, because it worked for old Latorraca.”
It worked very, very well.
Globo should have given him an episode of the ‘Tribute’ series. To correct this flaw, he should now receive a posthumous honor.
