Jorge Cherques (July 25, 1928 - March 11, 2011) was a Brazilian actor of Jewish origin.[1][2][3][4]

Biography

[edit]

Born in Rio de Janeiro, of Jewish descent, Jorge began his theatrical career while still in his youth.[5][6][7] In 1943, he was part of the cast of Nelson Rodrigues' play Vestido de Noiva [pt].[8][9] He had an extensive career in theater, winning awards for great performances, including in Um bonde chamado desejo and Ratos e Homens.[10][11]

In the 1950s, he was invited to participate in Grande Teatro Tupi [pt], presented on the now defunct TV Tupi, and later joined the cast of TV Globo, where he made his debut in Janete Clair's soap opera Véu de Noiva in 1969.[12][13] His film debut was in the 1964 movie O Beijo [pt], directed by Flávio Tambellini [pt], based on Nelson Rodrigues' play O Beijo no Asfalto [pt].[14][15]

In the 1980s, he made several films with Os Trapalhões, a popular Brazilian comedy group.[16][17][18][19] At the end of the 1990s, he began to devote himself to theater and training actors.[7] On TV, the actor participated in important soap operas such as Carinhoso[20], Gabriela[21], A Sucessora[22], Paraíso [pt][23], Dona Beija [pt][24], Vamp[25], História de Amor[26], Alma Gêmea[27], as well as the children's series Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo.[28] In the field of comedy, he participated in the series A Diarista.[29] His last role on television was in the comedy show Zorra Total, in 2008.[30][31]

His last acting role was in 2010, in Thomas Edward Hale's medium-length film Viver Outra Vez, whose proceeds were donated to Retiro dos Artistas [pt], a Brazilian charity that shelters elderly artists who are experiencing financial and emotional difficulties, have been abandoned by their families, or have nowhere to live.[32][33]

Personal life

[edit]

A Jew, he always encouraged the Jewish community in São Paulo to create a theater group of Jewish actors.[1][7] He was married to Estela Cheques from 1951 until 1985, with whom he had two daughters, Cecília and Gilda.[34]

Death

[edit]

Cherques died at the age of 82, victim of multiple organ failure, after being admitted to the intensive care unit at Copa D'Or Hospital in Copacabana on March 11, 2011.[35][36] The actor's body was laid in state at the Chevra Kadisha Israeli Religious Society, located in the Praça da Bandeira neighborhood of Rio.[37][38] The burial took place at the Israeli Cemetery of Vilar dos Teles, in São João de Meriti, in the Baixada Fluminense region.[38]
