Estevão Amarante, a Portuguese actor and singer, was a regular idol in his country for over two decades. Born in Lisbon on January 9, 1889 (and not 1894 as most biographies erroneously claim), his future was not all mapped out. Born into a very poor family, he lost his father while he was still very young. But the boy had an asset, a good voice, and he got noticed for that. Which resulted in his being hired as of 1900 (he was eleven) for "A Viagem de Suzette", a light opera by Léon Vasser. One year later, Estavão joined "O Teatro do Infante", a children's theater company. He concomitantly appeared in works for adults, spoken dramas, revues or operettas (like "A Casta Susana" in 1909). His growing good looks and growing talent gained him growing success, particularly from 1910 to the early 1930s, where he shone in many a revue and an operetta, singing tremendously successful fados. He had become the actor-singer of his generation. But after 1932, his star as a singer paled and he turned to spoken theater, working with great regularity. He also appeared before the cameras but Portuguese directors and producers failed to give him worthwhile parts. His eight roles on the big screen are a disappointment compared with his glorious stage career. Estevão Amarante died in Porto on December 12, 1951 exactly one year after celebrating the 50th anniversary of his debut- Actress

- He worked in a newspaper printing house, until he graduated journalist of Comércio do Porto, a large daily paper in the North of Portugal. When he was 20, he had already written five novels, among which "A Rosa do Adro", first published in 1870. He would also wrote librettos for a few operettas, among which "Na Lua" (on the moon). His hobby was amateur archeology. He remained obscure all his life, slightly put down by literary critics. He never knew his "Rosa do Adro" would be re-written for the stage in 1899, and brought to the movies with enormous popular success, starting with A Rosa do Adro (1919). Immediately after this film had been shown in Oporto and then Lisbon, the book went to press in its 24th edition, with a cover based on a big picture of beautiful Maria de Oliveira as Rosa do Adro. The book kept being reimpressed and re-edited through the 20th century, by the thousands and thousands, and is one of the top literary sales of the 20th century in Portugal, except for books of mandatory reading in high-schools.
