Discreet Acts Reveal How 79-Year-Old Actress Turns Success Into Shelter, Comfort, Hope, and Future for Artists in Vulnerable Situations in Rio de Janeiro
Those who follow the journey of Marieta Severo on television often associate her name with memorable characters and decades of success. What many don’t know is that, away from the spotlight, the actress has also built a quiet and profoundly transformative path in the field of solidarity, especially in supporting colleagues facing difficulties in old age. The information comes from CARAS.
Without fanfare on social media or public campaigns, Marieta has become the main supporter of the Retiro dos Artistas in Rio de Janeiro.
The institution houses elderly artists who, after a lifetime dedicated to culture, have begun to deal with financial limitations and lack of infrastructure to live with dignity.

Complete Houses and Concrete Help
Instead of making just one-off cash donations, the actress decided to tackle the problem at its root. She paid out of her own pocket for the construction of a set of houses within the Retiro, offering a definitive solution to the housing issue.
The donated residences go far beyond simple rooms. They are delivered renovated, fully furnished, and equipped with essential items for daily life, such as air conditioning and new appliances. The proposal is to ensure comfort, security, and autonomy for the residents.
According to information from an article in CARAS, it was thanks to this structure that Marcos Oliveira, known for the character Beiçola from A Grande Família, found a dignified place to live while facing a severe financial crisis in 2024.
A Career That Supports Generosity
At 79, Marieta uses the financial stability gained from decades in the top tier of Globo to do good.
Her gesture is not isolated but part of a continuous stance of social responsibility.
In addition to philanthropy, she also invests in the preservation of culture. The actress is a co-owner of the Teatro Poeira, a cultural space that she bought and renovated with her own resources.
Recently, during a special visit to the Retiro dos Artistas, Marieta authorized the delivery of two more houses to the institution. The information comes from O Globo.
Recognition has come naturally. Among staff and residents, she has come to be called “angel,” a nickname that encapsulates the importance of a legacy built far beyond television.
