Brazil declares mourning for actresses Laura Cardoso and Glória Menezes

Brazil has declared three days of official mourning following the deaths of iconic actresses Laura Cardoso and Glória Menezes, who passed away within 24 hours of each other. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva decreed the mourning period to recognize their immense contributions to Brazilian culture.

Laura Cardoso died at age 98 in São Paulo from natural causes. Her career spanned over eight decades, beginning in radio before transitioning to television, cinema, and theater. She was a pioneer of the medium, appearing in over 60 telenovelas, including notable roles in ‘Mulheres de Areia’ and ‘A Viagem’.

Glória Menezes passed away at age 91 in Rio de Janeiro, also from natural causes. A cornerstone of Brazilian television, she was known for her long-standing partnership and marriage to actor Tarcísio Meira. Her career included more than 40 productions with TV Globo and international recognition for her role in the Palme d'Or-winning film ‘O Pagador de Promessas’.

Both actresses shared professional history, having worked together in early productions such as ‘Um Lugar ao Sol’ in 1959 and later in ‘Senhora do Destino’ in 2004. TV Globo has announced special programming to honor their legacies.
