Mel Lisboa Alves (born January 17, 1982) is a Brazilian actress born in Porto Alegre.
Biography and career
In 2001, at the age of 19, she debuted on TV playing the 18-year-old protagonist in the series Presença de Anita on Brazilian TV channel Rede Globo.
She acted in telenovelas (Desejos de Mulher — "Woman's Desires" and Como uma Onda — "Like a Wave"), theatre (Moças de Fino Trato) and TV specials, as well as several photo shoots for magazines and fashion companies (including a pictorial for Brazilian Playboy in 2004), even though she says a career as a model does not appeal to her.
In 2007, she became a television presenter at GNT / Sat TV Globo and released the book Mundo Afora - Diário de Bordo de Mel Lisboa, which includes stories and photographs from her program. That same year, she joined the cast of the soap opera Sete Pecados ("Seven Sins"), in which she played the role of Carla, a young, humble and extremely ambitious girl with a dubious personality.
In 2011 she signed with Rede Record TV, and her first role was in the series Sansão e Dalila ("Samson and Deliah"), playing the female protagonist.
