Adriana Inés Prieto Amarante (October 19, 1949– December 24, 1974) was an Argentine-born Brazilian actress.[1]
Early life
Prieto was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her mother was Brazilian and her father was a Chilean diplomat. In 1954, the family settled in Rio de Janeiro.
Career
the film that brought Prieto fame was El Justicero (1966) by
Nélson Rodrigues, and Augusto Boal but she finally decided to pursue her career in cinema. Her 1969 film, A Penúltima Donzela, by Fernando Amaral and her 1971 film, Lúcia McCartney, Uma Garota de Programa, by David Neves were of particular success.[citation needed
]
The turning point in her career was A Viúva Virgem (1972) by Pedro Carlos Rovai, which was conceived as a social satire but inevitably seen as a precursor of
coronel from Minas Gerais
but left as a "virgin widow" when her older husband dies on the wedding night. Her last film, O Casamento (1975), by Arnaldo Jabor was about the decadent bourgeoisie, a common theme in many other works of Nélson Rodrigues, accompanied by a story of incestuous love.
Personal life
She died in a road accident when her Volkswagen Beetle was struck by a police car.[3]
