“I owe my career to Aliki. Finos, however, made me a star,” the post reads, quoting the national star’s words.
“Aliki Vougiouklaki was born in Athens on July 20, 1934. She graduated from the Amarousi High School. She adored Greta Garbo and Mary Pickford. She took her exams and passed to the National Theater in 1952, without her mother’s approval. She entered Finos Film with “Astero” in 1959. She won the Best Actress Award with “Madalena” in 1960 at the Thessaloniki Festival. She starred in 42 motion pictures. She became a symbol, a legend, she went beyond being an actress and turned into an idol,” the video says.
“I owe my career to Aliki.
Finos, however, made me a star.”
