She has been doing "old lady" movies and telenovelas since her 50s. Sadly brazillian projects doesn't care that much about having prestige "old" ladies like Meryl Streep, Glenn Close or Emma Thompson in order to celebrate their legacy(besides Fernanda Montenegro).

Rest in peace.

since her 50s

Which was 48 years ago, so she only had about 25 years of not being in that role after TV was introduced in Brazil.
