- [May 2005] Posed for Brazilian Playboy.
- She became the mother of a girl named Sophia, the father is her husband Avner Saragossy.(07/02/2015).
- Was spotted by her Sangue do Meu Sangue (1995) co-star Tarcísio Filho in the SBT studios while rehearsing for the main role of Carol in Chiquititas Brasil (1997). He was reportedly startled to see her dancing with several children, as part of the casting.
- Dropped lipsynching to ghost singers to perform the theme songs of Chiquititas Brasil (1997) herself, starting to have singing classes right after being cast. Most of the adult cast in that series performed the songs themselves like on the original Chiquititas (1995), while the then younger actors - to this day - still surprise fans when mentioning they were actually lipsynching to their themes.
- Received recording accolades as part of the Chiquititas Brasil (1997) soundtrack success in Brazil, despite not being a professional singer. The soundtrack notably features her own voice while her young co-stars only lip-synced their themes.
- [onManuela do Monte's portrayal of Carol, her breakthrough role] I'm sure she'll do just fine. I'm a person who, for everything she does, it's intensely, true, visceral and with love. If these are advices [for her], I don't know. It's just who I am.
- [on how the role of Carol changed her career] During [ Chiquititas Brasil (1997) ] yes, [there were several job proposals], but after [the series ended], not so much. It was pretty much the opposite, as I got typecast. The show made possible for me to develop projects for kids, of course. The bright side of working for children is that there are no limits.
