      Renata Leonardo Pereira Sochaczewski (born 21 February 1947), known professionally as Renata Sorrah, is a Brazilian actress. She is best known for portraying Nazaré Tedesco in Senhora do Destino (2004).[1][2]

      Early life

      Sorrah was born in Rio de Janeiro, to Míriam Leonardo Pereira, who is of Portuguese ancestry and Peter Sochaczewski, a Polish Jew.

      In 1964 she joined a cultural exchange program and moved to Los Angeles, where she took dramatic arts classes and finished her studies. At that time California was the heart of the hippie movement and that influenced Sorrah's style.

      When Sorrah returned to Brazil in 1967, she saw that Brazilian cultural scene had hippie ideals. Even though she hadn't been one, she adopted their outfits.

      Personal life

      Sorrah was married three times. She has a daughter, Mariana Simões, whose father is director Marcos Paulo.[3]

      In May 2023, Sorrah came out as bisexual.[4]

      Meme

      Sorrah was featured in a meme that went viral in 2010.[5] The meme has its origins in a scene from the 2004 telenovela Senhora do Destino, which was widely popular in Brazil at the time, receiving high ratings even in reruns.[6] Nazaré Tedesco, Sorrah's character in the show, is one of the most famous villains in the history of Brazilian telenovelas, and different memes involving her are popular in the country.[7] However, this particular meme, which shows the actress with a confused look, usually accompanied by overwhelming mathematical formulas, has gone beyond Brazilian borders, being used internationally. According to the website Know Your Meme, the oldest known use of the meme as a reaction dates back to October 31, 2013.[8]
