She’s commonly referred to as "The First Lady of Brazilian Theater" and "The First Lady of Brazilian Television," but Fernanda Montenegro earned recognition beyond her country when she garnered a Best Actress nod for her leading role in the Central do Brasil (Central Station), which tells the story of a young boy's friendship with a jaded middle-aged woman. Montenegro made Oscar history as the first actress to be nominated for a Portuguese-speaking role.
