Fernanda Young
Fernanda Maria Young de Carvalho Machado (1 May 1970 — 25 August 2019) was a Brazilian writer, screenwriter, actress, and TV host who left an indelible mark on Brazilian culture with her multifaceted talent and unique perspective. Born in Rio de Janeiro, her literary foundation was shaped during her daily commutes across Guanabara Bay, traveling by ferries or buses. During these moments, she immersed herself in books, seeking growth, inspiration, and distraction.
Although she paused her studies after completing elementary school, Fernanda later finished high school through an intensive six-month program. She enrolled in the Literature program at the Federal Fluminense University but did not complete her degree. She also studied Journalism at Faculdade Hélio Alonso and, after moving to São Paulo to start her writing career, pursued Radio and Television at FAAP, though she once again left the course unfinished. Defying her own vow to never return to a university, she later enrolled in Visual Arts at FAAP.
Fernanda built an outstanding career as a screenwriter, creating some of Brazil's most beloved TV hits, such as Os Normais (The Normals) and Minha Nada Mole Vida (My Tough Life). Beyond television, she was a prolific author, publishing several books that explored themes like relationships, femininity, and modern dilemmas with her signature sharp and provocative voice.
In cinema, she contributed as a screenwriter and participated in projects that echoed her unmistakable style. As an actress, she further showcased her versatility, connecting with audiences through her distinctive approach to storytelling and performance.
Fernanda passed away on August 25, 2019, at the age of 49, due to a severe asthma attack followed by cardiac arrest. Her untimely death shocked and saddened fans, friends, and collaborators. Despite her early departure, her work continues to inspire and resonate, leaving behind a legacy of creativity, irreverence, and authenticity.
