The Hermaphrodite: Roberta Close or Luiz Roberto Gambine Moreira


"I am Brazil's happiest woman because, at last, I could reunite my body to my soul which has always been deeply feminine."
Quoting - Roberta Close


According to Wikipedia, Roberta Close was born Luiz Roberto Gambine Moreira in Rio de Janeiro on 7 December 1964 — although she has occasionally claimed to have been born on December 12, 1965. Although she was born biologically male, she is reputed to have been born with incomplete male genitalia. Close, the first pre-operative transsexual model to have posed for the Brazilian edition of Playboy, is probably Brazil's most famous transsexual woman: today, her name is almost synonymous with sex change.

As an adolescent, Luíz began to adopt feminine attire and secretly began taking female hormone injections. By the age of seventeen, Close's career as a model and actress was beginning to take off. For a period of time, Luíz was associated with the travestis, a Brazilian subculture of biologically male transgendered prostitutes.

Close won the "Miss Gay Brazil" beauty pageant at the age of twenty. That same year, she made headlines and was dubbed "The world's most beautiful model". She has played a cabaret singer on a popular soap opera, starred in the 1986 movie Si tu vas a Rio... tu meurs, hosted a late night talk show, and was the inspiration for a hit song by Roberto and Erasmo Carlos.

In 1989, Close underwent sex reassignment surgery at Charing Cross Clinic in London, England. Afterwards, she appeared in an extensive photo spread in the Brazilian men's magazine Sexy, and was subsequently voted the "Most Beautiful Woman in Brazil."

In 1993, Close married Roland Granacher. The wedding to her Swiss husband took place in Europe, as it would not have been legal in Brazil. Close lived with Granacher in Zurich and Paris until the pair separated in 2000.

Roberta's Portuguese-language autobiography, Muito Prazer, Roberta Close ("Much Pleasure, Roberta Close" or "Pleased to meet you, I'm Roberta Close") was published in 1998. In it, she claims to have been involved with numerous American celebrities including Eddie Murphy, George Clooney, and Robert DeNiro. It has not been published in the United States

  1. The state wouldn't release her or his tell all book because she spoke the truth about her sex relationship with George Clooney, Eddie Murphy and Robert DeNiro.

    Man i use to hear a lot about Beyonce sleeping with Robert DeNiro and his current wife look just like a hermaphrodite.

  2. It's all about the hormone injection and pills. The kiss and tell novel shut down her or his career!

  3. Okay according to this info presented, it appears that Robert DeNiro has a pattern of messing with Hermaphrodites (Eddie Murphy too). What about Tookie Smith, (the late designer Willie Smith's so-called sister)??? She use to date Robert DeNiro for years. They have twins. She is rather tall (just like all the other intersexuals) and I think that a serogant mother gave birth to their twins. That's another story that never set right with me!! These are some strange bedfellows in Hollyweird.

  16. Some of the other features this range features is an automatic ignition,
    which does not require a pilot light. Since you may not have electricity, (if you had to turn the main breaker off),
    you could really use a cordless screwdriver or cordless
    drill with a screwdriver bit. Being a wonderful, son, daughter, sister, brother, et cetera, is a
    very noble idea which I commend you for--however, you must admit that if you were more rested or had even a
    small bit of time for yourself that you would have
    more quality time with everyone concerned, all the way
    around.
