Biography: Ely Macedo de Souza, (Itaocara, September 21, 1926 – Rio de Janeiro, July 18, 1990), better known by her stage name Eliana Macedo or just Eliana, was a Brazilian actress and singer. Considered one of the great stars of national cinema, she was the winner of the Saci Award in 1954 – the biggest cinematographic award at the time – for her work on A Outra Face do Homem and the main artist of Atlântida Cinematográfica, the largest producer of Brazilian films at the time.
