Rise to stardom

Xuxa's father, Luiz Floriano, was in the military and stationed in Rio de Janeiro when she was 7. At age 15, Xuxa was followed home by a magazine publisher who spotted the pretty blue-eyed blonde on the train and invited her to audition to be a model. A year later, she was on the cover of a Brazilian magazine.

In 1980, Xuxa posed for another magazine with other Brazilian models and the great soccer legend Pelé. The smitten athlete wooed the young model and the two embarked on a six-year romance which propelled her career forward.

While performing at nightclubs she graced the centerfold of Playboy magazine's Brazilian edition in December 1982, which led to her being cast in the motion picture Amor Estranho Amor (Love Strange Love, IMDB page).

She was only 20 when she was given her own variety TV show, Clube da Criança (Children's Club). She was an instant hit; her candor on camera and her way with kids caught the attention of Latin America's Portuguese media giant, Globo TV. In 1985, Globo TV took her as its own.

Xou da Xuxa is probably the most famous children's show in Brazil and Latin America. It started in 1986. In the show, aired every weekday morning, Xuxa presented cartoon and games, did interviews and performed some of her songs. The show created a kid show frenzy in Brazil, and until about 2001, more than 9 years after the ending of Xou da Xuxa, most TV networks had at least one kids' show in the same style. Not only in Brazil, but also in most of Latin America, Xou da Xuxa-type shows became popular (show with a beautiful host, usually blonde, who presented cartoons such as Walt Disney's DuckTales, etc).
