- SpouseTom Payne(1951 - 1966) (separated, 3 children)
- Her mother was English and her father was half-Brazilian and half-French.
- In 2006 she got rave reviews and a whole new generation of fans when her autobiography, "Ilhas, Veredas e Buritis" was published, the general line being that she was as delicate a writer as she had been an actress.
- Has always claimed that she didn't really want to be an actress and only did it because her husband, the film director Tom Payne, wanted her to be the star of his films.
- Is constantly referred to as "The Brazilian Greta Garbo" for being a talented actress and a beautiful woman who left movies altogether long before she was 40 and then completely withdrew from public life.
- Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to bring her back, the most intriguing being perhaps "Um Só Coração" (2004), the TV mini-series about the life of her aunt, Iolanda Penteado (a great patroness of the arts), in which Eliane was to have played one of Iolanda's aunts.
