Sylvia Dulce Kleiner, known as Bibi Vogel, (Rio de Janeiro, November 2, 1942 — Buenos Aires, April 3, 2004) was a actress, model, singer, and activist for the feminist cause in Brazil.

She began in 1960 as a model and walked in many fashion shows for Rhodia during that time. She entered the film industry in 1968, appearing in “Anuska, Manequim e Mulher” and “Panca de Valente,” and the following year starred in “Meu Nome é Tonho.” In 1969, her TV debut came through an invitation from writer and director Geraldo Vietri to play Natália in the soap opera “Nino, o Italianinho,” forming a love triangle with Juca de Oliveira and Aracy Balabanian. The soap opera and Bibi Vogel were a huge success, and she also starred in “A Fábrica,” on the same network and by the same writer, in 1971. In 1973, she moved to Rede Globo and appeared in “Os Ossos do Barão”; “O Espigão”; “Bravo”; and “Espelho Mágico.” During this time, she married the Argentine writer and director Alfredo Zemma and lived in Buenos Aires for a few years, but would return to Brazil whenever she was called for work. In film, she also starred in “Motel”; “Ipanema Adeus”; “Deixa, Amorzinho, Deixa”; “O Pai do Povo”; and “A Morte Transparente.”

She left her acting career and became a feminist and humanitarian activist. In 1980, she founded the Grupo de Mães Amigas do Peito (Group of Breastfeeding Mothers), an organization supporting breastfeeding, which later became a recognized non-governmental organization. ^{[cites no sources]}

Her last television appearance was in the soap opera Chiquititas, filmed in Argentina, where Bibi had been living since the mid-1990s, following her second marriage. The soap opera aired in Brazil on SBT in 1997.

Sylvia Dulce Kleiner, who adopted the stage name Bibi Vogel, was born in the city of Rio de Janeiro on November 2, 1942. She was the daughter of Jewish German immigrants who had fled Nazism and came to Brazil after World War II.

She was married to the American musician and literature professor Bill Vogel; they divorced shortly thereafter. She then married the Argentine actor, author, and theater director Alfredo Zemma and had a daughter, Mayra.

In 1980, Bibi directed the documentary “Maternidade,” a medium-length film, and the following year she became involved in the struggle of the “Mothers of May,” women who had lost their children during the Argentine dictatorship and who gathered periodically in Plaza de Mayo. Later, in Brazil, Bibi founded the “Grupo Amigas do Peito.”

Bibi Voguel died at the age of 61, a victim of stomach cancer, from which she had been suffering since 2001.
