Virginia Cavendish Moura (born 25 November 1970) is a Brazilian actress, television presenter and film producer, most well known for her work in films directed by her ex-husband Guel Arraes, such as A Dog's Will and Lisbela e o Prisioneiro. With television appearances, she is most well known for her performance in Avassaladoras as Maria Teresa, and for presenting the program TNT + Filme.
She started her career while in her hometown of Recife, performing in theatre with names such as João Falcão and Hamilton Vaz Pereira. Afterwards, she began a prolific career in film, beginning in the late 1980s, with nationally successful roles in the decades after. Her performances on TV Globo productions also garnered further success, with varied roles in productions such as Andando nas Nuvens, O Cravo e a Rosa, and Da Cor do Pecado.
In 2006, Cavendish moved to Rede Record to become the protagonist of Avassaladoras, alongside Vanessa Lóes, Débora Lamm and Giselle Itié. With the end of the program after a brief run, she returned to TV Globo and acted in more telenovelas and series such as Caminho das Índias and Ó Paí Ó. Still within this new phase, she debuted as a television presenter on the program TNT + Filme, on the subscription channel TNT, alongside Rubens Ewald Filho, who works as a commentator.
