Dolores Gonçalves Costa (23 June 1907 – 19 July 2008), known by her stage name Dercy Gonçalves, was a Brazilian actress, comedian and singer. In her 86-year-long career, she worked in the theater, revues, film, radio and television, becoming famous by her humorous use of vulgar language. In 1991, at the age of 84, she caused controversy by exposing her breasts while parading with a Samba school in Rio de Janeiro's Carnaval.
Gonçalves is recognized by Guinness World Records as having the longest acting career ever having acted from 1922 to 2008.
