Yone Viegas
Yone Viegas, a 33-year-old ballerina, became the center of a sensational news story in September 1981 when a romantic evening with her boyfriend escalated into a dramatic police intervention. After her brothers, disapproving of their late-night rendezvous, called the police, a crowd gathered outside her apartment building in Copacabana, leading to a bizarre attempt by officers to enter through the window. Ultimately, Yone's strong-willed refusal to open the door turned a simple love story into a public spectacle.
