Chris Pitsch

As Barbara, a rocker girl who was member of Zeca's rock group in the massive hit series A Viagem (1994), Chris Pitsch made her only appearance in the big world of entertainment. Her premature death from a heart failure at the age of 24 cut short a promising career. Christiane Tedd was born on 5 August, 1971 in São Paulo. During her teenage years, she discovered as suffering from a congenital heart defect. But she made it through for a while with treatments and started acting on children's plays during her early 20's. With a charismatic presence, beauty and talent she landed a minor role in A Viagem (1994), which was later expanded and she made it all through the very final episode acting alongside Christiane Torloni, Andréa Beltrão and Irving São Paulo, just to name a few of her co-stars. It was a huge dream of hers in appearing for a TV Globo soap-opera. Her artistic name Pitsch came at her boyfriend's suggestion. Sadly, a year after the show's end, Chris Pitsch passed away on 20 October, 1995 without having a chance of appearing on another projects. She was survived by her mother, five younger brothers and sisters.
