Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a remake of a 1976 telenovela, but Glória Pires made Eunice so iconic that most Brazilians don't know the original.
Anjo Mau aired during Brazil's economic volatility and Eunice's desperate social climbing resonated as dark commentary on aspirational consumption.
