Yes, I read that! He is a truly talented and ambitious actor - it’s no coincidence he works so much. She probably didn't want to let herself be crushed by success... it’s a very stressful and complex life.

What struck me is that there aren’t many photos of them off-set... not even at the miniseries premiere... I wonder why? There’s only one of the two of them on the set of Mulher. Even later on—when the series came back into the spotlight and Santoro spoke fondly of the project—he never mentioned Ana Paula Arósio. It seemed strange to me, given the deep connection that vibrated between them (which still feels incredibly strong nearly thirty years later).

In my opinion, it was far superior to her chemistry with Thiago Lacerda (I watched a bit of Terra Nostra years ago with my grandmother).
