Bruna Linzmeyer (born 11 November 1992) is a Brazilian actress [1] also known for her LGBTQIA+ and feminist rights activism. [2]
Linzmeyer was born on November 11 in Corupá, a small town in the south Brazilian countryside in the state of Santa Catarina. [1] 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.
Bruna Linzmeyer started playing a Russian character named Tatiana Dovichenko in the 2010 TV Globo miniseries called Afinal, o Que Querem as Mulheres?, written-directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho. Since then, she has built a solid career in cinema and TV.
Linzmeyer played several emblematic roles on TV. For instance, an autistic girl named Linda (who faces her family to have a more autonomous life) in the 2013 TV Globo telenovela Amor à Vida . [3] Also, the sweet Professora Juliana, (a teacher who moves to the countryside, but when she decides to teach the adult workers of a local farm how to read and write, the a conservative colonel order her to be killed) who is the lead character, in the 2014 remake of the telenovela Meu Pedacinho de Chão . [4] Bruna Linzmeyer plays Cibele Dantas in the 2017 telenovela A Força do Querer , by Glória Perez, one of the eight main characters of the telenovela, who gets involved in a love triangle with Ísis Valverde and Fiuk characters. [5] Finally, her most recent work in the popular Pantanal remake, where she starred as Madeleine (a rich woman from Rio de Janeiro who falls in love with a farm laborer and ends up moving with him to his hometown in Pantanal, an isolated place surrounded by forest and wild animals that she hates). For this job, Linzmeyer did a web series on her Instagram, called #MadeleineReality, sharing with her followers the development of her character. It was an innovative and successful project that attracted more than 30 million viewers.
When it comes to cinema, her debut was in the Brazilian version of the franchise Cities of Love. The episode she took part in, the anthology Rio, eu te amo, was directed by Carlos Saldanha and starred her and Rodrigo Santoro as well.[ citation needed ]

In the epic The Great Mystical Circus, directed by Carlos Diegues, she plays a circus contortionist and the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.[ citation needed ]
In 2019 she won Felix Suzy Capó Award at Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, the festival's queer award as Personality of the Year, due to her activism for the LGBTQIAP+ community.[ citation needed ]
In the acclaimed 2021 production A Wild Patience Has Taken Me Here, written-directed by Erica Sarmet, Linzmeyer won the Special Jury Award of the Sundance Film Festival with the ensemble cast for their performance in the film. They also collectively won the Best Interpretation award of the Mix Brasil Cinema Festival in São Paulo. [ citation needed ]
