Biography

Henriques studied accounting in her youth, although she had a passion for the arts. She became a radiographer at the age of 13 for the Ministry of Education alongside José Vasconcelos and Fernanda Montenegro. She spent some time in Argentina to shoot No me digas adiós and returned to Brazil to shoot Falta alguém no manicômio. She also opened a theatre company at the Teatro Cultura Artística in São Paulo.

Nunes was hired by TV Paulista in 1951, which would soon end her film career. She last appeared in a film in the 1957 flick Dorinha no soçaite, and subsequently focused on television. She married actor Altamiro Martins in 1961, who died in 2005.
