Overview
- Family confirmed late Monday that Cardoso died at home in the Sumaré neighborhood of São Paulo after feeling unwell and that the announcement was posted on her official Instagram by her great-grandson, who manages the account.
- A private velório was held in São Paulo at the Funeral Home with a ceremony scheduled from 8:00 to 14:00 that was not open to the public.
- President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva issued a three-day official national mourning decree for Cardoso and Glória Menezes, with the decrees published in an extra edition of the Diário Oficial da União.
- Cardoso built an eight-decade career across radio, theater, cinema and television, appearing in more than 60 telenovelas and 100 works overall, holding a lifetime contract with TV Globo and last appearing in a 2019 novela and a 2025 short film.
- Colleagues, public figures and the public posted widespread tributes, and the near-simultaneous death of Glória Menezes intensified national reflection on the legacy and preservation of Brazil’s teledramatic heritage.
