The last Brazilian home of the "Brazilian Bombshell"
Landmark buildingThis house at Avenida São Sebastião 131, in the calm bayside neighborhood of Urca, was the last home Carmen Miranda had in Brazil before she left for the United States and Hollywood stardom.
Urca sits at the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain and was home to the Cassino da Urca, where Carmen Miranda performed as the casino's star attraction. A plaque on the house marks it as her former residence.
