This was the first TV novel at 8 o'clock p.m. in Brazil. It was the story about a woman (Glória Meneses) who was a prisoner and worked as a telephonist attendant at the prison. Once, for a a mistake, she could talk to Larry (Tarcísio Meira) and they felt in love each other. Just through their voices. I wasn't a good plot but Brazilian people loved the principal couple. Gloria was a great star and she got so many prizes for her work on movies. One of those is O Pagador de Promessas. This one almost compete to the American Oscar, in 1961, I think. Gloria was separated for her husband in the sixties. People didn't like that situation in Brazil on that decade. But Brazilian people loved Gloria by her works and they loved very much when she married Tarcísio Meira. Even so we can see Tarcísio and Gloria working together on films and TV Novels. Tarcísio, although he is an old man, is a famous and sexy actor to the Brazilian women. This couple is the best of the Brazilian cast. Their son (Tarcísio Meira Junior - o Tarcisinho / that means Little Tarcísio) is also an actor but he has no famous like his parents. In Senhora do Destino we could see both working as the same character Josè Carlos Tedesco when he was a forty man and when he was an old man, when time passed by.
