Maria da Graa Meneghel was born on March 27, 1963, in the town of Santa Rosa, a southern region of Brazil that was dominated by German and Italian immigrants. She was the youngest of seven children, five of whom survived. Big brother Bladimir gave her the moniker Xuxa, which stuck with her for life.
Her father Luiz Floriano was a military man, and got stationed in the postcard city of Rio de Janeiro when she was 7. At age 15 she was followed home by a magazine publisher who spotted the pretty blue-eyed blonde in the train and invited her to audition to be a model. A year later, she was on the cover of a magazine.
