Maitê Proença Antes e Depois | Before and After

Maitê Proença was born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1959. Her grandparents were both Portuguese. As a child, Maitê studied in the American School. She attended the undergraduate psychology programme at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo dropping out a short time later. Between 1977 and 1978 she traveled around the world to Europe, Asia and Africa. She was in more than 30 countries. In 1979 Maitê had a car accident. She was submitted to two surgeries and had to stay in bed for almost a year. Maitê briefly attended a number of courses at the Sorbonne in the end of the 1970s and meet her ex-husband Paulo in 1982. She is divorced from Paulo Marinho, the father of her only daughter, Maria Pratt Marino, born in 1990. She has worked on Brazilian soap operas and films. Her role in the soap opera Dona Beija was her first big TV success in both Brazil and Portugal. She is a writer and has a column in the Brazilian magazine Época. A book was released with the best of her essays. Her mother was Margot Proença, a philosophy and music teacher who died when Maitê was 12. Her father was Eduardo Gallo (died in 1989). She posed for the Brazilian Playboy on February 1987, and in 1996, Maitê posed for Playboy again. In 2005 she published her first book: Entre ossos e a escrita. She has been also a tv host for Video Show (1983), Programa de Domingo (1987) and Saia Justa (2006/2007). In 2006 Maitê wrote her first theater play Achadas e Perdidas. In 2002 she made her debut as a theater producer with the play Buda. She has a younger brother, René Augusto Proença Gallo ("Guto"), born in 1963.[1]

In 2009, due to controversial remarks on the Brazilian tv show Saia Justa, Maitê Proença prompted public outrage in Portugal[2][3] and was accused of being lusophobic and showing a lack of knowledge of Portuguese culture and history. She has since then denied the accusation and recorded several apologies,[4] as well as issuing one on her official blog. Proença emphasized that despite her gaffe, she is from recent Portuguese ancestry and likes Portugal and the Portuguese.[5] For about a week, the affair was discussed or reported on several Portuguese television networks and major newspapers.
