Heloísa Pinheiro
Heloísa Pinheiro (née Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto, now known as Helô Pinheiro, born 1945) according to popular myth was the real-life "Girl from Ipanema", a carioca whose strolls through the fashionable Ipanema district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil inspired the lyrics to the song Girl from Ipanema (originally titled, in Portuguese, A Garota de Ipanema), the music of which was originally written for a musical comedy.
When she tried to open a clothing boutique with the name "The Girl from Ipanema" she was sued by the heirs to co-writers Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, but after much legal wrangling she was able to keep the name of her shop.
Helô Pinheiro became a Brazilian Playboy Playmate in 1987 and once again in 2003, when she did a pictorial along with her daughter, Ticiane Pinheirohttp://playboy.abril.com.br/revista/sumario333.shtml.
