Maitê Proença, 65, in an interview with the newspaper O Globo:
The actress rose to national fame in the 1980s playing young ladies on television and was considered a sex symbol. She says that most of the time she was “afraid of being disturbed” and only felt beautiful when she moved to Rio de Janeiro. “Until then, I didn’t know I was pretty. Suddenly they said to me: ‘Wow!’ You foisted the cliché of beauty on me. Coupled with the fact that I was the protagonist on soap operas, that scared people. In a way, I started being careful not to be too opinionated and always speaking in vocabulary that wasn’t off the street. I tried to lower the ball so they liked me a little,” he recalled.

According to her, the change came 20 years ago when she became a columnist for a magazine. Then she began to talk about taboos, polemics and pleasantries. “People saw that I wasn’t stupid. That opened up a facet that was hidden within me. And that’s where I went,” she said.
Opening up the game, the actress says the discoveries about affection and sexuality still stand. Maitê reveals she had an interrupted menopause at the age of 50 due to an intense passion. “He was the most hedonistic friend I’ve ever had. And he liked… sex. I wasn’t interested at the time, but right away (she stops)… The way he liked sex and was like it.” “I was very good at it, my menopause stopped. And I had my period back for three years,” she said.
Only after I left him did menopause come. Look how our heads are! The gynecologist saw me and said, “My daughter, that’s the boner!” The man was a delight. Everything about me, my body, felt great. And see, it’s still like this: if circumstances give me a miracle, there’s a shuuuuáááá, with fireworks and all. I won’t miss it.Maite Proenca
About the dating singer Adriana Calcanhotto, she points out that people assumed it was the first homoaffective relationship in her life. “It wasn’t necessarily something new for me. I’m a curious person, I’ve lived all these years and I like people. One can draw conclusions from this. The fact that she (Adriana) is the same gender is interesting.” “Everyone, but not me. The whole world was in turmoil. For me he was just a person who fascinated and interested me. Nothing that was reported about it resembled what really happened,” he said.
In the interview, the actress claims that she has already broken 24 bones.. There are seven indented or flattened vertebrae in the spine. There are marks on the femur, knee, fingers, nose, foot and neck from falls from stairs, horses, motorcycles and moving cars. “I’m not paraplegic because fate didn’t want it. But I can say that I have stories to tell, and they are inscribed within me. It comes from childhood, and it got worse with adulthood,” she said.
She continues, saying, “Today I’m looking back and trying to understand why I broke so much. I haven’t sat at home reading a book and broken bones. No, right!? I’ve done things that people don’t do. That will not do! But why did I put myself in risky situations? Did I try to die and I was incompetent even for that?” he wonders.
About the life of a grandmother, the actress says that she is active. “I have the body to be an active grandmother. And that wasn’t on my plate. I’ve spent my whole life taking care of myself precisely because I was broke all over. If I don’t exercise, everything hurts. And I’ve gotten into a much more disciplined routine now. It gives me a body that many 25yearolds don’t have.
