Although Portuguese by birth, Carmen Miranda would relocate to Rio de Janeiro at a young age and become Brazil’s first internationally known star reaching icon-status. Immortalized by the Chiquita Banana character of which she inspired, Carmen Miranda’s exoticism and fiery personality would set her apart from the film noir starlets of Hollywood’s Golden Age. To highlight her chameleon-like nature, V Magazine would feature Kristin Wiig playing the role of Carmen Miranda, among others, dressed in character with her signature banana hat.
