Magalhães began her career on Tupi Broadcasting's radio and TV in 1954, playing small roles and background acting, eventually getting her big break and greater roles and prominent characters. All of this way before the era of videotaping.

Moving to the state to Bahia, after her first marriage in 1960, she did not abandon her craft and joined the theatrical group 'A Barca', formed by former students of a drama school and under the direction of Luís Carlos Maciel, and appeared in great classics on the local station TV Itapoan. Invited by [Glauber Rocha,] himself, she also got a role on the now classic Black God, White Devil (1964), a landmark of Brazil's 'New Cinema' movement, shot in Monte Santo, Bahia.

In 1964 she returned to Rio de Janeiro and gave birth to her only son. The following year, she was back to work when she was invited by Nathália Timberg, one of the great Brazilian stage actresses, to perform in Nelson Rodrigues's 'Vestido de Noiva', directed by Sérgio Cardoso and staged at the Municipal Theater.

In 1966 she was invited by Walter Clark, Globo TV's newly appointed executive producer, to play a romantic role in one of the network' first telenovelas, and in which she would meet actor and future husband Carlos Alberto.

In 1970, the couple went to work for Tupi TV in São Paulo, taking roles in another telenovela. With the end of their marriage the following year, Magalhães returned to Rio and to Globo TV, where she would mostly work for the rest of her career.

At the age of 50, and because of the huge success of her character on Roque Santeiro (1985), she posed nude for a photo spread on one of most popular men's magazine of the time.

She died at 80, leaving the legacy of a six-decade-long career on TV, theatre, and films.

Singer Cory Wells was born Emil Lowendowski on February 2, 1941 in Buffalo, New York. He grew up in a rough neighborhood and hailed from a musical family. Cory's father died when he was a little boy and his mother struggled for a while before getting remarried. In the early 1960's Wells played in a few local bands in the Buffalo area. Cory joined the U.S. Air Force immediately after graduating from high school. He formed a multi-racial group during his stint in the Air Force.

Following his military tour of duty Wells returned to Buffalo and joined a garage rock called the Vibratos. He traveled to California with the group. The Vibratos changed their name to The Enemies and performed in clubs in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Sacramento. The Enemies were the house band at the legendary Sunset Strip club the Whisky a Go Go for a year. They appear as themselves in the movie Riot on Sunset Strip (1967) and in an episode of the TV series The Beverly Hillbillies (1962). Moreover, The Enemies had minor hits with recordings of "Hey Joe" and "Sinner Man." In 1967 Cory moved to Arizona and formed the group the Cory Wells Blues Band. He moved back to Hollywood, California in 1968 and became a founding member of the hugely popular rock group Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night went on to enjoy enormous success throughout the early to mid 1970's before eventually breaking up in 1977. In 1978 Wells recorded the solo album "Touch Me" for A&M Records. Wells helped relaunch Three Dog Night in the mid-1980's and continued to perform with the band almost right up until his death at age 74 on October 20, 2015 in Dunkirk, New York. Cory and his wife Mary were the proud parents of daughters CoryAnn and Dawn Marie. Outside of singing, Wells was also an avid fisherman.
