Biography

She is daughter of an Italian father, Gino Bertolli, and a Portuguese mother, Almedina Cabral, who was born in São Miguel, Azores. Lilia lost her mother when she was very young, before she started working in television, which she deeply resents, as her mother never had the opportunity to see her work as an actress.[3] She is from the São Paulo neighborhood of Lapa,[4] where she spent her childhood, but has lived in Rio de Janeiro for over twenty years.
