_________________________________
Jobim composed the song "Luiza" as the opening theme of the Brazilian soap opera "Brilhante" (1981), especially for actress Vera Fischer's character. The song implicitly mentioned the actress's long blond hair "as a ray of sunshine in your hair, as a shiny gemstone that explodes in seven colours". Unfortunately, she had to cut and dye her hair for the role...! Jobim was very unhappy about it, and the lyrics remained as originally written.
