Career

During her philosophy studies at the University of Lisbon , she played in the theater group there, which prompted her to drop out and switch to the theater and film college ESCT (" Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema ") (graduation 1986) . In 1985 she appeared for the first time as a professional actress, in the play Pílades ("The regicide / Pylades") by Pier Paolo Pasolini . She received the 1986 Critics' Prize for New Discoveries (for her role in Frei Luís de Sousa by Almeida Garrett ). Carlos Avilez then brought her to the Teatro Experimental de Cascais , where she played in pieces such as Tartufo by Molière , The Balcony by Jean Genet , and Lysistrata by Aristophanes .

In 1989 she moved to the Teatro Politeama in Lisbon. After her appearance in the production of a David Mamet play by João Canijo , she began to appear on television, especially in Rua Sésamo , Portuguese Sesame Street . She had previously appeared in smaller roles in films and television series, but continued to play mainly theater, for example in Estrelas na Manhã ("Stars in the Morning" by Alexander Galin ), A Gaivota (" The Seagull " by Anton Chekhov ) or Benilde ou a Virgem-Mãe ("Benilde or the virgin mother" by José Régio ).

In 1993 she played a leading role in a telenovela for the first time ( A Banqueira do Povo , "The banker of the people"), and has worked in numerous other telenovelas to this day. At the same time she appeared on the one hand in TV galas, Saturday evening shows, sitcoms and other television formats, on the other hand she also played in feature films, especially in Portuguese films , but also for John Malkovich and Maria Brand . On the other hand, she seldom played theater, around 1997 in Tankred Dorst's Fernando Krapp wrote me this letter ("Fernando Krapp escreveu-me esta carta") at the Teatro Aberto . Staged by João Lourenço, it received critical acclaim.

reception

Lencastre began a steep career as a serious stage actress. After receiving only modest roles in film, however, she increasingly sought the limelight of television, especially from 1993, and the theater from then on moved significantly into the background. She appeared in numerous television programs in various formats, especially in telenovelas, with correspondingly frequent reports on her in the gossip columns of the magazines and the tabloids . Her glamorous appearance and attractive appearance have made a significant contribution to this. At the same time, she continued to play challenging roles in theater and film. Today she is one of the most famous actors, especially among the general public in Portugal, especially thanks to her many different appearances on entertainment television.
