She is also a singer and used to sing for prisoners in Carandiru and
other penitentiaries. That's the reason director Hector Babenco invited
her to appear in his film.
She was the most famous "chacrete", dancer of Chacrinha's musical
shows.
Her artistic name comes from French singer/dancer Rita Cadillac, which started as a joke from a friend and she ended up sticking with the name.
