Dercy Gonçalves, stage name of Dolores Gonçalves Costa, (born June 23, 1907) is a Brazilian comedienne. In her 80-year long career, Dercy Gonçalves has worked in the theater, revues, film, radio and television, becoming famous by her humorous use of vulgar language. In 1991, at the age of 83, she caused controversy by exposing her breasts while parading with a Samba school in Rio de Janeiro's Carnaval. In 2001, further controversy ensued when Gonçalves appeared completely nude in the September Brazilian edition of Penthouse magazine, at the age of 94, commenting, "it's going to be very artistic, the kind of thing you would put on your coffee table."
