In the 90s of the last century, Russian viewers were literally overwhelmed by a wave of Brazilian TV series. Men, women and children watched the development of Latin American passions, empathized with the failures of their favorite heroes, and looked forward to the next episode without looking up from their TV screens.
The fashion for Brazilian cinema has faded, but the plots and actors still show originality and skill. One of the famous and talented actresses in Brazil is Juliana Paes. Let's get acquainted with her biography and work.
Biography
Juliana Paes was born in the small town of Rio Bonito on March 26, 1979. Of four children, she is the eldest child in the family. Father, Carlos Paez, kept a security company and made good money. Therefore, as a child, Juliana Paez dreamed of everything.
The biography took on a drab tone as the family business fell into decline. A small apartment in a poor area of the city changed the harmonious landscape of well-being. As the eldest of the children, Juliana early realized the responsibility for the financial situation of the family. Therefore, already in adolescence, she began to earn extra money. But she always believed that this unfortunate period of her life would not be long. And all the most beautifulahead.
Career
Juliana's dreams began to come true when she was 19 years old. Then the charismatic beauty was noticed and taken on the role of a student in a little-known series that the Russian audience had not seen. It was a great start for the inexperienced actress, although the occasional screen flash was not enough for her.
However, in 2000, Juliana got a short, nondescript role, but already in the sensational series "Family Ties". After that, there were more films, among them the well-known to the Russians "Clone", which, alas, was not significant for the young actress.
The series “Celebrity” (2003-2004) brought her real fame, where Juliana Paez played the heroine Jacqueline Joy. After this triumph, job offers came in regularly. And in 2009, the actress repeated her success by starring in the TV series Roads of India.
Another iconic picture was the film novella "Brazilians". In it, the actress played a simple girl Zhanaina. The image turned out to be largely autobiographical and was highly appreciated by critics and fans of her talent.
Today there are more than 30 films in which Juliana Paez has shown herself in various ways. TV series are not her regular genre, although they are presented in the majority.
In 2010, the actress was invited to the American film "Breakfast in Bed" with Dean Cain. And a year later, Juliana received an offer to shoot from Sylvester Stallone, but the actress had to refuse. She was pregnant at the time.
As Juliana Paes herself admitted,films take more strength and energy from her, but working with foreign actors is an invaluable experience that she does not want to miss. Fans of the actress claim that she has not yet played her main significant role.
Private life
"I don't like being alone," Juliana Paes told reporters more than once. Her personal life has never been hidden from the public. The first serious novel of the actress lasted five years. A week after breaking up with her chosen one, Juliana began dating a certain Marcelo Castione, to whom she soon moved to live. However, their relationship ended as quickly as it began.
Later there was a brief romance with model Rodrigo Ilberto. However, only businessman Carlos Eduard Batista, whom she affectionately calls Dudu, managed to finally conquer the heart of the sultry beauty. On September 9, 2008, the couple got married. And two years later they had a son.
