Inês de Saint-Maurice Esteves de Medeiros Victorino de Almeida is a Portuguese actress, director and politician. She was the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Film Actress in Portugal in 1997. At present, she has been, since 2017, Mayor of Almada for the Socialist Party.
Background
Born in Vienna, she spent her childhood in Austria with her parents, conductor António Victorino de Almeida and journalist Maria Armanda de Saint-Maurice Ferreira Esteves, and her sister, Maria de Medeiros, settling in Lisbon in 1975 after the Carnation Revolution.[1]
Education
She attended the Lycée Français Charles Lepierre until 1986, and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, studying Portuguese literature and philosophy, courses that she never finished, to dedicate herself to acting. She then studied theatre for two years at Sorbonne University.[2]
Career
A professional actress, she was only ten years old when she made her film debut in a feature film directed by her own father The Fault (1981); the film was the conductor's occasional experience as a film director. It would later add up to a filmography with about 30 films for her.
In addition to her professional career as an actress, she became involved in politics linked to the Socialist Party. She was a representative of Jorge Sampaio's campaign for the presidency (1996) and of the PS candidacy for the 2009 European elections. In the 2009 legislative elections, she was elected deputy to the Assembly of the Republic for the Socialist Party, for Lisbon.[3]
In 2010, the payment of weekly air travel in business class to Paris (where she has residence) by the Portuguese Parliament, generated controversy with right-wing parties, especially the Social Democratic Party, which voted against the payment.[4] That party considered that payment to be a superfluous expense. Inês ended up dispensing with that amount so as not to feed what she considered pure demagogy.
In the 2017 Portuguese local elections she was elected mayor of Almada, just outside Lisbon, for the Socialist Party.[5] She was re-elected in 2021 for a second term as mayor of Almada.[6]
