Hebe Camargo was born on 8 March 1929 in Taubaté. A Brazilian television host, singer and actress, Hebe Camargo was one of the best-known faces of Brazilian TV for more than half a century. She started as a singer in the 1940s and moved to television in the early 1950s, soon becoming a fixture on the screen with her own talk and variety programmes. Her style was warm, talkative and glamorous, marked by a signature kiss to her guests and the audience. She spent many years at SBT, interviewing artists, politicians and ordinary people, and she was also known for her charity work. Her death in 2012 drew widespread public mourning in Brazil.
