from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beatriz da Silveira Moreno Batarda Fernandes (born April 11, 1974 in London , United Kingdom ) is a Portuguese actress .

Life

Her parents lived in exile in London. Two weeks after her birth, the dictatorship of the Estado Novo came to an end with the Carnation Revolution and her family immediately returned to Portugal . She went to school in Lisbon at the Luís de Camões high school and at the French high school ( Liceu Francês ), where she was engaged in a casting for a film ( Tempos Dificeis by João Botelho ) (in the credits as Beatriz Morena). When she visited her cousin, the actress Leonor Silveira , while filming Vale Abraão (“ On the Banks of the River ”), Manoel de Oliveira was taken with her and she was in front of the camera a second time in a small supporting role. Oliveira gave her her first full role in his next film ( A Caixa , "The Beggar's Box") in 1994. She then studied graphics. The actor Luís Miguel Cintra then persuaded her to take a theatrical role in a play he directed, and she began her first steps as an actress. After the first role with Cintra, the television recorded piece O Conto de Inverno ("Winter's Tale"), another role followed, in Gil Vicente's O Triunfo do Inverno ("The Triumph of Winter"). Again it was Cintra who convinced her to continue acting, and in 1996 she appeared twice on stage, in Um Auto de Gil Vicente , which was again broadcast on television , by Almeida Garrett , in the Teatro Nacional São João in Porto , and in Sonho de uma Noite de Verão (“ A Midsummer Night's Dream ”) by William Shakespeare , in the Lisbon Teatro da Trindade .

After this experience, Batarda finally took up an acting career. In preparation for an apprenticeship in England, she completed an extensive English course. After two more pieces ( Vozes da Paixão in the Centro Cultural de Belém and Os Sete Infantes in the Theater des Bairro Alto ), she went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London for three years in September 1997 . She came to Portugal only for interim film shoots and after her participation in The Weaknesses of Women (1998, directed by Luís Galvão Teles ), she was honored as a “ Shooting Star ” at the 1998 Berlinale . After she graduated with a gold medal as the best of her year, she stayed in London and went on tour with the ensemble of Christopher Morahan in 2000 with the piece Beyond a joke (Roger Miller). She then played in an episode of the television series Relic Hunter - The Treasure Hunter with Tia Carrere . In 2001 she was part of the English Touring Theater with, directed by Steven Unwin Shakespeare -Stück Love's Labor's Lost ( Lost Love's Labor ). She also played for television again, for the BBC in the Doctors series and in a short film in the Table Twelve series, but above all in the newly filmed Forsyte saga of the Granada ITV station , for which she was in front of the camera until 2002. She then played theater again in London, in Brian Friel's Aristocrats (production: Joseph Blatchley).

Despite the subsequent marriage and pregnancies, she continued her career, particularly in film, but moved back to Portugal in 2004, also because of her desire to work in her mother tongue. She married the composer and jazz pianist Bernardo Sassetti (1970–2012), of whom she has two daughters (born in 2004 and 2006). At the joint award ceremony in 2011 of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores and the public television broadcaster RTP , both spouses were honored independently. Beatriz Batarda received the award for best actress, while her husband received the award for best music.

For her roles in films by Marco Martins , José Álvaro Morais , Margarida Cardoso and João Canijo , she won other awards in Portugal ( Caminhos do Cinema Português , Globo de Ouro ).

Beatriz Batarda is the daughter of the painter Eduardo Batarda , and the cousin of the actress Leonor Silveira .

reception

In all of her theater and television appearances, it was above all her convincing roles in Peixe Lua (Jose Álvaro Morais) and Noite Escura (João Canijo) that brought her the most attention. She proved her versatility in films such as Manoel de Oliveira's The Beggar's Box (“A Caixa”) or How to Draw a Perfect Circle (“Como Desenhar um Círculo Perfeito”, by Marco Martins ). Since then she has been considered a versatile, talented and convincing actress. Even colleagues on the set of It's All Gone Pete Tong - The Legend of Frankie Wilde initially believed that she was actually deaf and dumb. Together with Ana Moreira , she is considered the most promising actress in Portuguese film .
