Life and career

Lange was born on 16 July 1928, in Paris, France. Her father was Brazilian and her mother was English.^[1] She came to Brazil when she was six months old.^[2] From a young age, she began working with underprivileged children, mainly in Dona Marta Favela. Dissatisfied with her limitations, she went to study in England, and from there she went to Greece, where she helped in a concentration camp for Greek children during the civil war.^[3]

Back in Brazil in 1950, she was invited by Tom Payne to audition for the film Caiçara.^[4] After the success of Caiçara, Tom convinced her to film Ângela in Pelotas. It was the beginning of his brief, but very important film career.^[5] Soon came the consecration, in Sinhá Moça (1953),^[6] which earned Tom Payne a critic's prize at the 4th Berlin International Film Festival and international acclaim.^[7]^[8]

In 1957, she and Tom Payne did a short-lived weekly programme, A Vida com Eliane, on TV Tupi, an experience she found disappointing, and she never wanted to do television again.^[9]

Payne died in 1996.^[11] She used to live in Rio, São Paulo, Guarujá and Petrópolis.
