* OneBookAuthor: After the film's release, Fernando Ramos da Silva more-or-less returned to his old life after a failed attempt at continuing his acting career, in large part because he was illiterate. Tragically, he died in 1987 in an altercation with police who claimed he was resisting arrest. More than likely though, he was actually murdered.
