She has released several books.

She was a columnist for the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper for twelve years until she was fired in 2013[1] a few months after generating controversy by declaring in her column that New York was no longer fun when "even the porter" could travel[2] and that domestic servants were better off without the rights proposed by the "Domestic PEC".[3][4]

She is the older sister of singer Nara Leão and was married to Samuel Wainer, founder of the newspaper Última Hora with whom she had three children: plastic artist Débora "Pinky" Wainer,[5] film producer Bruno Wainer[6] and journalist Samuel Wainer Filho, who died as a result of a car crash in 1984.[7] Danuza died from respiratory failure in Rio de Janeiro on 22 June 2022 at the age of 88.[8]
