At the age of 58, Roberta Close returns to Brazil and records a rare appearance on TV

A rare presence in Brazil since moving to Europe nearly three decades ago, Roberta Close is in São Paulo. Beautiful and blonde, the former transsexual model and muse of the 1980s recorded a rare appearance on a TV show this Wednesday. She is one of the guests of “Altas Horas”, by Serginho Groisman.

In December, Roberta was photographed on the streets of the Cosme Velho neighborhood, in the South Zone of Rio, close to where the family lives.

The former model is preparing a documentary about her life and has already started recording the project, which, according to herself, will talk about her entire personal and professional trajectory, as well as the nude test she did for “Playboy”, reassignment surgery (sex change), in addition to the prejudices he faced at the time.
