Mara was born in the city of São Paulo in 1952. At the age of 17, she visited the Teatro Oficina and, as she used to say jokingly, never left it. She worked backstage in all sorts of activities, until one day the opportunity arose to replace a sick actress in a play. In the 1970s she married José Marcondes Marques and they had a daughter, Tatiana Manzan Marques, also an actress.
In March 2008, acting as "Amara" in Duas Caras, she learned that she had lung cancer. By that time she already had two thirds of her lungs affected by a pulmonary emphysema (she was a smoker). Mara was treated surgically by Dr. Drauzio Varella the following month on 16 April 2008. She had already reportedly undergone a radical hysterectomy due to cancers of the uterus and ovaries.
Her condition worsened and she died at the Rios d'Or Hospital of pulmonary failure at the age of 57.
