Vera Lúcia Fischer (Portuguese pronunciation: [vɛˈɾa fiˈʃɛʁ]; born 27 November 1951) is a Brazilian actress of long-standing reputation and works in cinema and for the small screen, particularly for telenovelas.

A former beauty pageant titleholder, Vera was crowned Miss Brazil in 1969 by Miss Brazil 1968 and also Miss Universe 1968, Martha Vasconcellos.

Biography

Vera Lúcia Fischer was born in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, in Southern Brazil, to Hildegard Berndt, a Brazilian of German ancestry, and Emil Fischer, a German who was originally from Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg. Vera was raised Protestant.[1] Emil Fischer, Vera's father, was a Nazi, and she never had a good relationship with him: "My father was German, Nazi, and used to force me to read Hitler and he beat me a lot", she wrote in a recent autobiography.[2] Until age 5, Vera only spoke German and started to learn Portuguese at school.[1]

She was crowned Miss Brazil in 1969 which is what propelled her career to great fame. She also competed at Miss Universe 1969, becoming a semi-finalist. The film that brought her onscreen reputation was A Superfêmea, a pornochanchada of 1973. She is considered a good actress and has won several awards. Among her theatrical appearances, she is best known for A Primeira Noite de Um Homem (2004), the adaptation of The Graduate by Miguel Falabella.

She is considered a notable sex symbol in Brazil. In 1982 and in 2000, she did nude photoshoots for the Brazilian issue of the Playboy magazine.

She starred in telenovelas such as O Clone ("The Clone") and Laços de Família ("Family Ties"). She has a daughter and a son from her respective marriages.
