Bruna Linzmeyer

Bruna Linzmeyer (born 11 November 1992) is a Brazilian actress also known for her LGBTQIA+ and feminist rights activism. Early life and education Linzmeyer was born on November 11 in Corupá, a small town in the south Brazilian countryside in the state of Santa Catarina. Her father has worked his whole professional life in a connector factory, and her mother has had many different experiences, from working as a secretary in factories and in the city's main catholic church to assisting people as a medium in a spiritism center and as a reiki therapist. Linzmeyer has one brother, ten years older, who works in a bank. She doesn’t have artists in her family and becoming an actress had never been a dream of hers. She wanted to leave the countryside since she was a teenager. As her family didn’t have the financial resources to make it happen for her, she accepted to work as a model. When Linzmeyer was 15 years old, she won a beauty contest named Garota Verão, promoted by the Grupo RBS, which is TV Globo's subsidiary in Santa Catarina and one year later she moved to São Paulo to have better job prospects. While living there, she studied theater at Globe Company. Unfortunately, during this time, she couldn’t make any money as a model and her parents couldn’t support her financially anymore. Linzmeyer thought then working on TV Globo would give her enough money to keep living out of her hometown. So, she asked the model agency to get her some auditions for tv roles as an actress. Linzmeyer was chosen in her first audition to do a tv series at TV Globo and moved to Rio de Janeiro. She studied at public schools and attended PUC-Rio (one of the largest and most prestigious private universities in Brazil) to study History, but she hasn’t finished it. When it comes to her artistic training, she’s been doing different open courses, but Linzmeyer is quite self-taught as well.
