Career

edit

In 2006, at the age of 14, she auditioned for models at the Brazilian headquarters of the international agency Elite Model Management, recommended by her aunt, Lea Felippo, mother of actress Samara Felippo.[6] At the time, Agatha did not have a professional book, so she took improvised photos with her own camera to the auditions, which did not interfere with her being approved among the 20 models hired.[6] In 2009, at the age of 17, she became an agent of 40º Graus Models and was sent to Chile, where she lived and modeled for designers from all over Latin America.[7] During this time, she traveled to Japan, the Dominican Republic and Peru to do temporary work.[8] In 2010, she lived for six months in South Korea, where, in addition to her conventional work as a model, she also participated in the music video "Shut Up! (시끄러)" by the South Korean boy band U-KISS.[9] In the same year, she spent another six months in Miami, United States.[8] In 2011, she lived in New York, where she photographed for magazines such as Vogue and Stylist.[8] At this time, Agatha planned to leave her modeling career to return to Brazil and study theater, embarking on a career in acting, but she needed to save up enough money to pay for her studies, working at the same time as a model and event promoter in her free time, earning the necessary amount to pay for her studies.[8]

In 2012, back in Brazil, Agatha managed to take a theater course.[10] At this time, she received an email recruiting her for a test at Rede Globo. However, without the money to go to Projac because she had given up her modeling career and was experiencing some financial difficulties, Agatha had to call to explain the situation and sent a homemade video containing the interpretive text they requested.[10] Even without having attended in person, the young woman was approved as the protagonist of the twentieth season of Malhação, alongside Alice Wegmann, a soap opera in which her cousin had also gained notoriety thirteen years earlier – playing the dreamer Ju.[11][12][13] In 2014, she played the spoiled brat Giselle in Em Família.[14][15] In 2015, she played her most well-known role to date, the spoiled villain Giovanna, in Verdades Secretas.[16][17][18] She also participated in the twelfth season of the talent show Dança dos Famosos.[19][20] In 2016, she played the spoiled rebel Camila in Haja Coração, a character who began with traits of antagonism, forming one of the main couples along with Jayme Matarazzo.[21][22][23] In 2017, she played Domitila de Castro, Marchioness of Santos in Novo Mundo, a suffering young woman who becomes a seductive villain and lover of Dom Pedro I.[24][25][26] In 2018, she played the sweet and romantic Ema Cavalcante in the six-night soap opera Orgulho e Paixão.[27][28][29][30] In 2019, she played the great psychopathic villain Josiane in A Dona do Pedaço, an unscrupulous young social climber, rival of her own mother, the protagonist Maria da Paz (Juliana Paes). The biggest character of her career.[31][32][33][34]

In 2021, she confirmed her participation in the continuation of the soap opera Verdades Secretas, with short blonde hair, returning to play Giovanna, who is determined to prove that Angel (Camila Queiroz) killed her father, businessman Alex (Rodrigo Lombardi), and hires a mysterious investigator involved in the fashion world, Cristiano (Rômulo Estrela), and ends up falling in love with the model.[35][36] In 2022, she made a guest appearance in the premiere of the soap opera Cara e Coragem on TV Globo.

In 2023, she joined the cast of Terra e Paixão, playing Graça, an arrogant, snobbish and prejudiced model who will not accept losing her fiancé Daniel (Johnny Massaro) to a black, lower-class woman. With the help of her mother-in-law, she plans to stage a pregnancy scam in hopes of keeping her fiancé. This marks her fourth partnership with author Walcyr Carrasco, all as villains.
