About me / Bio:
Maria Matos was a Portuguese actress who was born in Lisbon, the daughter of a theater family. She studied piano, singing and dramatic art at the Royal Conservatory of Lisbon, and for her final exam performed Rosas de Todo Ano, written by Júlio Dantas. She debuted professionally at the D. Maria II National Theatre in the play Judas (1907). She married in 1913 the actor Mendonça de Carvalho, who founded the theater company Maria Matos - Mendonça de Carvalho, a company that enjoyed considerable prestige in Portuguese theatre. In 1940, she was appointed at the National Conservatory of Theater, where she was head of Theatrical aesthetics and Vocal coaching. Her talent was particularly evident in the farce and the comedy. In the film she starred in successful films such as O Costa do Castelo (1943) and A Menina da Rádio (1944), directed by Arthur Duarte and costarring with António Silva. She also starred in other movies such as As Pupilas do Senhor Reitor (1935), Varanda dos Rouxinóis (1939) by José Leitão de Barros and A Morgadinha dos Canaviais (1949) by Caetano Bonucci and Amadeu Ferrari. Matos also wrote for A Tia Engrácia, Direitos de Coração and Escola de Mulheres, romantic parts. She died 10 days before her 66th birthday on 19 September 1952. After her death, her memoirs were published As Memórias da Actriz Maria Matos, and she was honored by having a theatre in Lisbon being called Teatro Maria Matos in 1969. She was the mother of actress Maria Helena Matos (1911 - 2002).
