Lúcia Moniz
Biography
Portuguese singer and actress Lúcia Moniz, born in Lisbon in 1976, first attracted attention as a singer when she won the Festival da Canção and represented Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996, placing sixth. Her acting career began in 1997 on Portuguese television, where she played twins in A Grande Aposta and then appeared in Terra Mãe, and she also worked in theater. She released her debut album Magnolia in 1999, which entered the Portuguese top 20 and earned a Gold certification, and later recorded albums such as 67 and Leva-me p'ra casa. Her international film break came with Love Actually (2003), in which she played Aurélia, a Portuguese-speaking character opposite Colin Firth. She returned to that part in the short sequel Red Nose Day Actually (2017). For her performance in Listen (2020), she received the Best Performance award at the Raindance Film Festival in 2021.
