Heloísa Eneida Paes Pinto Mendes Pinheiro[1] (born July 7, 1945), better known as Helô Pinheiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [eˈlo piˈɲejɾu]), is a Brazilian businesswoman and former model.
At the age of 17, Pinheiro became the inspiration for the song "The Girl from Ipanema" when songwriters Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes saw her walking to the beach in Ipanema.[2]
Pinheiro became a Brazilian Playboy Playmate in 1987 and once again in 2003.[3]
