Completando seus 70 anos hoje, dia 8 de junho, a multitalentosa nasceu em Maringá, mas seus pais Hélio e Maria Braga e os quatro irmãos mudaram-se para Curitiba e depois Campinas, em São Paulo. Foi no programa juvenil Jardim Encantado com apenas 14 anos que Sônia Braga começou seus trabalhos dentro da televisão. A arte a chamou com muito mais força e depois da sua passagem nos programas da TV Tupi, Sônia ingressou no grupo teatral que realizava apresentações na região do ABC, Santo André, em São Paulo. Um de seus mais brilhantes e barulhentos papeis ainda no teatro, foi com o musical da Broadway "Hair – The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical Smash", que levava para os palcos questões raciais, a nudez, liberdade sexual e a guerra às drogas. No brasil iniciava um dos mais sombrios e complexos momentos – em 1968 foi decretado o Ato Institucional nº 5, comumente conhecido como AI-5, um marco que inaugurava a transição que instaurou a ditadura no país.

"Sonia was a thin child and had huge eyes", says her brother Hélio Braga, artist and actor, who took her to the world of arts. He played a prince and she, one of the princesses, in the program "Jardim Encantado" on TV Tupi... She lost her father at age eight. Widowed and with seven children, her mother became a cashier at a gas station.... "I would wake up at 5 am, go to school, leave my two little brothers at the nursery, clean the house and then do my homework."...She decided to go to work, as her older brothers already did. A cousin found her a job at the traditional Buffet Torres in São Paulo, where she was a receptionist and typed budgets...At one of the buffet fashion shows, she met a makeup artist who took her to a model audition...
