RIP: Nair Bello

Brazilian actress and humorist Nair Bello died earlier today as she was convalescing in hospital after suffering three straight cardiac arrests last November. Bello’s work spanned nearly six decades from radio to telenovelas where she may have been best known as the character of “Pierina” in “Uga Uga.” Her funeral is scheduled for this Thursday near Sao Paolo.
