1 9 6 4 - 'A moça que veio de longe' (May-July) / 'A outra face de Anita' (July-September)

São Paulo's TV Excelsior production of novela (tele-drama) 'The other face of Anita' (A outra face de Anita) ran from 28 July to 25 September 1964, Monday through Friday, at 7:00 pm at TV Excelsior. Written by Ivani Ribeiro based on an original by Mário Donato, directed by Dionísio de Azevedo.

'Anita' came just after Ivani Ribeiro's 'A moça que veio de longe' (The girl who came from afar), which kept the whole country bewitched from May to July 1964. 'Moça' made a star of Rosamaria Murtinho (Maria Aparecida, a hand-maid who falls in love with the family's heir) and Helio Souto (Raul, the gallant prince-charming fighting for the love of the servant-girl) and changed Brazilian TV watchers' habits forever. Novelas came of age and were raised to the top of TV's programmes. Drama was king!

Rosamaria & Hélio kept the whole country with baited breathe until the last chapter...
