She auditioned for the leading role of Dora for the telenovela Kananga do Japão.[6] She was cast as Hannah after actress Bia Seidl quit the role. Associação Paulista de Críticos de Arte (APCA) recognized Oliveira's performance in that show.[4]

In 1989, she began recording the Pantanal for Rede Manchete. After reading the synopsis, Oliveira fell in love with the character of Juma, a role initially intended for actress Glória Pires, and offered to play her. The telenovela was a big hit, winning a large audience for Rede Manchete and becoming a landmark in Brazilian soap operas. Her work won awards in Brazil and abroad. It was one of her most recognized and idolized roles.

In 1992, she was hired by TV Globo as the protagonist for the miniseries Agosto, a role that ultimately came to be played by Vera Fischer.

Her performance was praised by viewers and critics alike.[8] She had to gain 15 pounds to play the role and was a victim of prejudice from some of the media and the public.[9] In 2012, she played Yolanda in Salve Jorge.[10] In 2014, she returns to TV in the GNT series, Animal, in the role of former delegate and mayor Mariana Gomes.[11] In 2015, it signs contract with Rede Record to integrate the cast of the novel A Terra Prometida.[12]
