At the age of six, she and her family moved to São Paulo, where she attended University of São Paulo's School of Dramatic Arts and founded a theater group called Jovens Independentes. Her professional career began on São Paulo's TV Tupi in 1959, in the soap opera Um Lugar ao Sol, directed by Dionísio Azevedo. In 1962 she appeared in the film O Pagador de Promessas, alongside Leonardo Villar and Anselmo Duarte.
