This now-famous Brazilian actress was remembered by our viewers for the series “Clone” in which she played the role of Jadi.
Childhood, family
The girl Giovanna was born March 18, 1976 in Brazil, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in an artistic family. Her father is a famous opera singer, well known in Brazil, Gilton Prado, her mother Sheila Antonelli is a successful ballerina. Parents always dreamed that their daughter had a brilliant career. Giovanna has a brother Leonard, who is now a well-known lawyer in Brazil. Eleven-year-old Giovanna Antonelli successfully played in the youth amateur theater, and at the age of fourteen she first appeared on television as the co-host of the children's program “Angelica”, on one of the popular channels.
The beginning of the career of the actress
Four years later, Giovanna Antonelli appeared in a new capacity. Series have always occupied a large place in the work of the actress. The beginning of this was the popular telenovela "Tropicanka", created by the company "Globo". This film made me talk about a novice actress. In 1998, she starred in the movie "The Summer of Our Secret", and the next year she was offered a role in the film "The Power of Desire." The turning point for the girl was the invitation to the series "Family Ties" directed by Manoel Carlos. She got the role of the prostitute Kapit.
This role was not central, but was very noticeable. Her heroine was distinguished by a complex biography. Giovanna Antonelli made this, in general, not the most positive character very kind, and deserving of compassion. A young girl, having once stumbled, is raising a child alone and is forced to earn a living with escort services. She sincerely believes that this nightmare will end soon, and she will meet her true love.
After this work, her biography radically changed. Giovanna Antonelli has become very popular, especially in Brazil. She was invited to the theater for the role of Mary Magdalena in the play "Jesus Christ Superstar." In the same year, a young actress with a radiant smile appeared in the cinema. She played the role of funny Sharon. Her appearance in the frame caused an invariable smile of the audience.
Giovanna Antonelli, whose filmography quickly began to fill up with various works, could already refuse roles that she was not interested in. This happened in 2001, when she refused to play the role of Leticia Spiller.
The famous "Clone"
Just at that time, she was invited to work on the TV series Clone. Sensual and beautiful Jade in this tape was performed by Giovanna Antonelli. The filmography of the actress replenished with a bright and interesting work. For this role, the young actress developed an Arabic accent and learned to perform belly dance. These classes were held for six hours daily for two months. Her efforts did not go unnoticed. The series was a huge success. Together with her painting partner Murillo Benicio, the actress traveled to many countries, introducing "Clone". Since then, the actress received the status of a bright and distinctive star of the television company Globo.
In 2003, Antonelli Giovanna, whose photo you see in this article, brilliantly played the role of the Virgin Mary, and after that she took part in the movie "Fortune Teller". The year 2004 was marked by the fact that the actress first appeared before her fans in a negative way in the movie “The Color of Sin”. In 2006, Giovanna Antonelli, whose filmography has expanded significantly during this time, played the main role in the film "My No Easy Life."
The next two years were very stressful in the life of the actress. She was busy filming the series “Three Sisters”, the novel “The Seven Sins”, and the melodrama “Budapest”. In 2011, the actress was still very much in demand. She starred in two television series well-known today - Brazilian Women and One Kiss.
Personal life
Representatives of the press and fans of the actress were always very interested in this side of the actress's life, her career, biography. Giovanna Antonelli does not seek to surround herself with a halo of mystery, but does not flaunt her relationship.
In 1997, she married a man whom she had known since her youth, Ricardo Medina. The marriage was short-lived. In 2001, the couple broke up.
If you believe the rumors, the union broke up because of the romance of the actress with her partner in the series "Clone" - Murillo Benicio. True, the actors claim that their relationship began after the divorce of Giovanna. This union lasted five years. The marriage was not officially registered, but the actress gave birth to a son, Pietro.
In 2007, Giovanna Antonelli, whose photo you see in this article, met with her third husband, a businessman from the United States, Roberto Locasio. A luxurious wedding took place in a villa in Tuscany, but the couple lived together for only four months. Today, the actress is married and happy again. Her husband is directed by Leonardo Nogueira. Spouses in 2010 became happy parents of charming twins - Anthony and Sofia.

Her figure, despite the birth of three children, is in perfect condition. She is in great demand, she works a lot in theater, cinema, and television. The most famous directors of the country invite her to their films and series. For the audience, she is the epitome of success.
