Mara Manzan

Mara Virgínia Manzan (May 28, 1952 – November 13, 2009) was a Brazilian actress.

Mara was born in the city of São Paulo in 1952. In 1967, when she was living and studying in São Paulo, Mara visited the Teatro Oficina, and, as she used to say jokingly, never left it. She worked backstage in all sorts of activities, until one day the opportunity arose to replace a sick actress in a play. In March 2008, acting as "Amara" in Duas Caras, she learned that she had lung cancer. She was treated surgically by Dr. Drauzio Varella the following month on April 16, 2008. She had already reportedly undergone a radical hysterectomy due to cancers of the uterus and ovaries.^{[citation needed]}

Her condition worsened and she died at the Rios d'Or Hospital of pulmonary failure at the age of 57.^[1][2]
