Friendship between Carolina Dieckmann and Preta Gil
Although, not always the relationship. The actress admitted that Ivete Sangalo brought them together. “She was my friend and Preta’s, and we didn’t fight because we were jealous of Ivete’s friendship. 25 years ago, she did a show at Hotel Glória and booked with me. When I got there, Preta was there. She booked with both of them without us knowing. Gênia”, he said in an interview with journalist Maria Fortuna.
Carolina Dieckmann stated that there was an almost instant connection with Preta Gil after the meeting. “One looked at the other and something happened. The next day, we bought a radio that spoke to each other and we never stopped talking. It was a soul thing. I spent 12 hours in the hotel with them, one talking about life to the other. And they never left each other again”, he concluded.
