Marjorie Estiano

Marjorie Dias de Oliveira (born 8 March 1982), known professionally as Marjorie Estiano (Brazilian Portuguese: [maʁʒoˈɾi estʃiˈɐnu]), is a Brazilian actress and singer-songwriter. She became nationally known for her role in TV Globo's teen soap opera Malhação.

In film, Estiano was the lead role in Time and the Wind, Good Manners, among others.

In television, she was the lead role in three telenovelas, including International Emmy Award-winning Side by Side, and four series. In 2019, she was nominated for the International Emmy Award for Best Actress for her role in Under Pressure.

Born in Curitiba, Paraná, to Eurandir Lima de Oliveira and Marilene Dias, the second of three siblings, Marjorie Estiano studied Scenic Arts at the Escola Estadual do Paraná. After graduating, she moved to São Paulo to improve her acting abilities. There, she studied music for two years at the Faculdade Paulista de Artes.

While studying, she made some TV commercials and played minor plays in theater. After this, she was approved in the TV Globo Actor's Workshop and moved to Rio de Janeiro. She then signed to join the cast of Malhação, and began acting in minor roles. She won the lead antagonist role of "Natasha" in 2004.

She began sharing the vocals of the band with singer, Gustavo (Guilherme Berenguer). Victor Pozas and Alexandre Castilho started recording demo tapes with Estiano and sending them to record labels. Universal Music was interested, and hired Estiano. After several months in studio, her self-titled debut album was released. The first single, "Você Sempre Será" (You Will Always Be), which was performed previously in Malhação, hit the top of Brazilian charts, and won the Faustão's The Best of the Year award for Song of the Year.

The second single, "Por Mais Que Eu Tente" (The More I Try), was her second top ten hit, and the third single "O Jogo" (The Game) peaked just outside the top ten, but still enjoyed success. Thanks to the enormous airplay of the song "Você

Sempre Será", her album went platinum. In 2005 released the first live DVD, titled Marjorie Estiano e Banda Ao Vivo.

In prime time, she stood out in telenovelas Pages of Life (Páginas da Vida) (2006), Duas Caras (2007), India: A Love Story (Caminho das Índias) (2009) and Império.
