Early life

Loran was born Basza Ajs on March 23, 1926 in Warsaw from Jewish parents. In order to flee from Nazism in Europe, Loran, who was only seven years old, and her family immigrated to Brazil in 1937.[4] They lived in a multi-story house in Rio de Janeiro.

In the 40s, Loran was influenced by her father to start her acting career and that was when she decided to use "Berta Loran" as her stage name.

Personal life

Loran first fiancé was Suchar Handfuss, whom she married in 1951 for "professional interests." They did not have children, but she got pregnant twice from Handfuss. However, she aborted due to financial problems.[4] At the age of 37, Loran married again to Julio Jacoba, a merchant of Polish descent, who was introduced to her by her sister.[1] They divorced in 1988.
