Hi there! The young lady in question is Heloisa Pinheiro, who was just 18 years old in 1962 when she was spotted by composer Tom Jobim and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes. She is 57 this year, making her birthday in 1943. Aspen Daily News - The Usual Suspect http://www.aspendailynews.com/Search_Columns/view_column.cfm?OrderNumber=455 Alas, her actual date of birth has been elusive, but a picture of the lovely Heloisa was not: She's a Carioca http://nortemag.com/tom/publics/ela_carioca/e.ela_carioca.html ...and you can read a bit more about her and the song that made her famous here: The Woman Behind the Girl From Ipanema http://www.wbez.org/schedule/jazz/girlfromip_info.htm Perhaps another Researcher can find her actual date of birth. Until then, enjoy the picture, and the sound clips on the Jazz page! --Missy |

Please excuse my typo above...Mrs. Pinheiro's year of birth is 1945. My fingers didn't want to be cooperative tonight! My apologies! --Missy |

Sorry, icecoldbeer! I couldn't find out her date of birth either. For what it's worth, here's what I did find, though. Much of this you probably already know. In 1962 Heloisa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto was walking down Ipanema beach, past a bar where two songwriters, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, were sitting and noticed her. The song ?Girl From Ipanema? was first sung in English in 1964 on an album by Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto. The song was sung by Gilberto's then wife, Astrud Gilberto. Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto married engineer Fernando Abel Pinheiro in May 1966. http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:RN450FtZJ7MC:www.protocollink.com/AJC_projects.htm+Girl+from+Ipanema+heloisa+pinheiro&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Recent Photos: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/1437011.stm Web site for her boutique: http://www.garotadeipanema.com.br/home.html Another recent photo of her and details regarding the lawsuit over the name of her boutique: http://old.smh.com.au/news/0108/17/entertainment/entertain8.html According to a comment in a ?Groups? search, Heloisa Pinheiro has written a book entitled "Por Causa Do Amor". http://groups.google.com/groups?q=heloisa+pinheiro&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=33DA211D.A75FACA0%40viper.demon.co.uk&rnum=1 CSIgirl |

One more nugget of information is that the bar where Heloisa was discovered was named Veloso. It has since been renamed Garota de Ipanema in tribute to the song, and the Street has been renamed Rua Vinicius de Moraes in tribute to the lyricist. CSIgirl |
