Carmen Miranda's abodes in Rio de Janeiro in the 1920s & 1930s

Carmen Miranda's name has never been forgotten... but there was a time in Brazil - between 2005 (50th anniversary of Miranda's death) and 2009 (Carmen's 100 birthday) - that Carmen Miranda's name was never too far away from the media or citizens in general... 

Here are some of the pages dedicated to the houses Carmen Miranda lived in Rio de Janeiro... that is, from when she was very little until she left Brazil for good in early 1940. 

On 8 January 2006, magazine 'Domingo' published this interesting 'visit through Memory Lane' with the help of  Carmen's own niece, Carminha aka Carmen de Carvalho Guimarães.
