Life after

But inside is a very clever, tenacious, business lady who has managed to do a lot for her life. After this vivid role, the actress worked very hard: she acted in film and often went to the theatrical stage.

According to the public's resonance, her "Slave" could only compare with the shooting for the Brazilian Playboy magazine, which took place four years after the end of the series. Then she again posed nude many times. She even decided to shoot in erotic films, and then received the title of "sex symbol" of Brazil. So, little by little she was building up her career as an actress. "Slave of Izaur" (photo And articles on this series for today are found on the pages of glossy editions not much less often than in the year of coming out to the screens of the Soviet Union) is still one of the most favorite works in the cinema.

If you get a starring role it was very easy, then with personal life was not very successful. His second half, with which "and into the fire, and into the water," she did not meet fortunately. She twice married, and twice these marriages were dissolved. Her first husband was a conductor, the son of Australian emigrants. In musical circles, he was quite famous. One of his works was a play staged at the Washington Opera "Guarani" with Placido Domingo. The young couple had a son. At first everything was fine, but after only four years they divorced.

Not very happy was in marriage actress. Slave Izaur (her photo and now displays a very interesting woman) decided to try again to create a family. Her chosen one was an engineer in acoustics. The second husband had a rather unusual hobby - spiritualism, to which he also associated Lucelia. But eventually this marriage broke up, leaving on its pages and passion for spiritualism.
