The Rio de Janeiro district called Ipanema was not a well-known area back then.Astrud had never sung professionally, her first recording became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time. For the vocals, they first had Sarah Vaughan in mind, but they eventually convinced Gilberto’s wife, Astrud Gilberto, to do the singing. The Girl from Ipanema has been made famous by the recording of Stan Getz and João Gilberto.In 2001, Helô was sued by the heirs of the composers for using the title of the song as the name of her boutique in Sao Paulo.Helô became the Brazilian Playboy Playmate in 19.She also claims she was the first woman on the beach to wear a 2-piece bathing suit.
