Production The telenovela had provisional title of Dinastia. But one businessman registered the mark before, and two months before its debut had its name changed to Senhora do Destino. Carolina Dieckmann and Adriana Esteves participated in the first phase, playing the characters Maria do Carmo and Nazaré Tedesco respectively. The first recordings started in May 2004. Dieckmann returned to the second phase of history to play Maria do Carmo's stolen daughter. Along with her, actress Renata Sorrah also appeared in the telenovela. Their first scenes in the second phase aired on the July 24, 2004, episode. The telenovela had a first phase of four episodes showing the theme of military dictatorship in Brazil. After that, the story takes place at a fictional time, which had characteristics of the early 1990s and the 2000s, as stated by the author. This has given rise to a number of criticisms, since, due to the age of Maria do Carmo's children (who appear to be between 30 and 35 years old), it is assumed that the story was about 25 years after AI-5 (between 1993 and 1994) and current cars were shown, the real as currency, adopted only in 1994, and merchandising of non-existent products at that time. The first phase of the plot lasted only the first two episodes. From the third episode, aired on June 30, 2004, the second phase begins.
