“This is my own video creation. * Images in this video are of Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto (born July 7, 1943; Rio de Janeiro), better known as Helô Pinheiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [e?lo pi??ej?u]), is a Brazilian model and businesswoman. * These images are NOT for exploitation, but to lend context to the origin of "The Girl From Ipanema". * Pinheiro is the real-life "Girl from Ipanema", a Carioca whose stroll through the fashionable Ipanema district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil inspired the lyrics to the song "The Girl from Ipanema". * Helô Pinheiro became a Brazilian Playboy Playmate in 1987 and once again in 2003, when she did a pictorial along with her daughter, Ticiane Pinheiro. * She also appeared in the second season of The Amazing Race, for the Beach portion of the first Detour clue, and on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 12, for a modelling challenge in Brazil.
