Trivia

In one occasion, in the mid-70s, when Lys was making a TV appearance dressed as a chorus girl of the 20s and dancing on top of a piano, her bodice moved a little bit and one of her breasts remained bare. As the programme was not live but recorded on tape, the take was dismissed and the scene was re-shot. More than twenty years later, the "original" scene was shown, as a blooper, on TV summer programme "Tal Como Éramos" (1998) and, commenting on it, she, who was one of the guests, said: "You know? If I had any grandchildren, that's the image of me I'd like them to see."

She died on November 12 2021, but it was not publicly known until December 23.

In the late 70s Lys had a minor auto accident and, although fortunately she was not seriously hurt, she had to stop working and stay at home for some weeks. A well-known magazine published then a pair of pre-accident photos that showed her dressed only with a leopard-skin bikini and locked up into a large cage. The caption of one of the photos read: "Now the fierce is locked up at her home".
