Biography
Genny Almeida Prado (São Manuel, July 12, 1918 - São Paulo, April 17, 1998) was a Brazilian radio, television and film actress, noted for her roles as Jeca's wife in Mazzaropi films. Her film career was marked by her work alongside the comedian. Together, she and Mazzaropi acted in 18 of his 32 films, with Geny always playing his wife; with the exception of the movie Zé do Periquito (1960), in which the characters of both had no kinship. Geny and Mazzaropi consolidated themselves as one of the great duos of national cinema, to the point that to this day people believe that both were married in real life. In addition to the movies, both acted together in the program Rancho Alegre, shown by TV Tupi in the 1950s.
