Xuxa refused and even Alda, the mother of TV hots, even went to the room of Mauricio on the station asking for explanations about the invitation, which she suspected of the director's ulterior motives.

Xuxa Filmography
This is a complete filmography of Xuxa, a Brazilian singer, actress, and television presenter. Xuxa's first starring role was in ''Amor Estranho Amor'' (English title: Love Strange Love), a controversial 1982, erotic film directed by Walter Hugo Khouri. The plot involves an adult man's recollection of a short period in his life in 1937. As a teenager, he visited his mother, the favorite woman of an important politician, in a bordello owned by her, right before key political changes in Brazil. In those hours, he discovers his own sexuality. Although rather tame by today's modern standards, the movie was considered somewhat controversial by some because it contains two brief scenes of sensuality between a libertine character played by Xuxa and the teenager. She broke out on her own in 1988 in ''Super Xuxa contra Baixo Astral'', only to rejoin the Os Trapalhões in 1989 in ''A Princesa Xuxa e os Trapalhões'', one of the quartet's most popular movies. The formula was repeated the fol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
