Revista do Radio n.375, 17 November 1956.
Clarice Amaral was a pioneer on TV. She worked mainly on TV Record. When I was a boy of 12, I used to go to my neighbours to watch TV. There was a kids' variety show on Channel 7, TV Record every Sunday at 6:00 pm called 'Grande Ginkana Kibon'. My neighbour Augustinha would not miss it for the world and I had the time of my life watching those 60 minutes of kids singing, dancing & prancing. The programme was commanded by an old man called Vicente Leporace... and Clarice Amaral was his supporting lady. That must have been 1961 or 1962... five or six years after this article about Clarice on 'Revista do Radio'.
Clarice José do Amaral was born on 12 October 1935, in Minas Gerais. She moved to São Paulo eventually and starte working on TV on programmes like 'Big Show Peixe', 'Carrossel', 'O Coelhinho da Fortuna' and finally 'Grande Ginkana Kibon' which started on 17 April 1955. By 1969, Vicente Leporace was signed by Radio Bandeirantes and left Ginkana. Clarice worked at TV Excelsior for a few months and was signed by TV Gazeta to command 'Clarice Amaral em Desfile', an afternoon variety show which lasted 11 years.
From 1981 until 1986, Clarice worked mainly in radio but after being the victim of a traumatic robbery Clarice left São Paulo to live in Cunha-SP.
Clarice Amaral passed away on 27 June 2020, a Saturday. Her death was announced by Elmo Francfort, authour of the History of TV Gazeta. Clarice was 84 years old.
