Marjorie Estiano

Marjorie Estiano, born on March 8, 1982, in Curitiba, Paraná, is one of those Brazilian actresses you just can’t ignore. She’s got that magnetic thing going on—like, she walks on screen, and suddenly, everyone’s paying attention. Maybe it’s her eyes? Or maybe it’s just serious talent. Either way, people mostly know her from “Sob Pressão,” which dropped in 2017 and quickly became a big deal in Brazilian television. The show dives into the chaos and messiness of a public hospital (think: blood, sweat, bureaucracy). Marjorie totally owns it as Dr. Carolina, balancing grit with this weird, quiet vulnerability—she makes you root for her, even when she’s drowning in impossible situations. But she’s not just a one-role wonder. Flashback to 2006—she was in “Páginas da Vida,” a soap opera that got Brazil hooked. That show? Drama city. Everyone had secrets, heartbreak, family fights—classic telenovela stuff, and Marjorie brought her A-game. Then there’s “As Boas Maneiras,” a wild movie from 2017. Forget typical horror—it’s got werewolves, motherhood, love, and loneliness mashed together. Marjorie plays Anna, and honestly, you walk away from that film thinking, “Damn, she went there.” She makes weird, supernatural stuff feel totally real. So yeah, Marjorie’s not just another TV face—she’s got a knack for picking stories that punch you in the gut, whether it’s prime time drama or straight-up genre-bending weirdness. She’s definitely one of those names you remember, especially if you’re into Brazilian cinema or just want to watch someone who can actually act their heart out.
