Maria João Brewster (née: Sousa Leão; Rio de Janeiro, 1955 ) is a former model from Brazil. Carioca, she made a career as a photographic model in the 1970s and is the only Brazilian to date to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue throughout its history, photographed in Bahia for the 1978's annual issue.[1]
An ex-student of Communication at PUC-RJ, Maria João - affectionately called just "João" (John) by industry professionals - began her career through the hands of a friend photographer, Pedro Liborio, who sent her photos to the advertising agency DPZ, that placed her on the market of advertising and fashion, starting with an ad to Johnson & Johnson . Among others, she photographed for famous Brazilian magazines Claudia and Nova (the Brazilian edition of Cosmopolitan) and worked with renowned photographers of the country as José Antonio and Luis Tripoli.[2]
Married to an American partner of Banco Icatu, Alden Brewster, she is the mother of actress Jordana Brewster, with whom she starred in an advertising campaign in the United States in 2015,[3] and lives in New York with her family.[4]
