As published in 'Playboy Brazil', 1980. " #Playboy falls in love and chooses the best of #RioDeJaneiro’s Carnival: the women who make the avenue go crazy, the women who put on the biggest show in the world! The best black showgirls from the 10 #samba schools of the 1st Group of Rio de Janeiro to accompany you in this #carnival . Like Fatima, from the Beija Flor comparza; who opens and closes the parade. These beautiful black ladies are other-worldly and their ability to drive hordes of men crazy without even saying a word is mind-blowing. Black women: The embodiment of beauty itself.” Photos 📸 by: J.R. Duran

This is a colourization I did of Afro-Brazilian actress Lourdes de Oliveira in 1960. She had a short career as an actress in Brazilian cinema before retiring, only starring in 2 films. She married Marcel Camus, a French director and had 2 children.
