caption: In this July 3, 2012 photo, <PERSON>, the woman that inspired the classic bossa nova song, ``The Girl From Ipanema,'' poses for a photo backdropped by a collage of pictures from her youth, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The quintessential tune was inspired by <PERSON> when she passed the songwriters in a beach side bar on her way to the sea, 50 years ago. To its legions of fans, the decades have only heightened the song's allure, adding a wash of nostalgia to this hymn to passing youth and beauty. At 68, <PERSON> has two TV shows roles and is planning to launch a book in English about her past. (AP Photo/ <PERSON>)
