The beauty and model of ancient Greek beauty Irini Pappa was one of the few Greek actresses who excelled abroad and had a literally international career.

The sudden news of the death of the great Greek actress, Irini Pappa, who passed away today at the age of 96, caused pan-Hellenic emotion as well as global sadness in the artistic field.

The beauty and model of ancient Greek beauty Irini Pappa was one of the few Greek actresses who excelled abroad and had a literally international career, with shocking performances such as that of the widow in “Zorba” by Michalis Kakogiannis.

In the photo published by the Associated Press, Irini Pappa can be seen with Kostas Kazakos at the premiere of the film “Iphigenia” at the Cannes Film Festival, in May 1977.

The director Michalis Kakogiannis, Tzeni Karezi, Kostas Karras and Tatiana Papamoschou can still be seen in the photo, while the flashes of the photographers besiege them.

The film was nominated for an Oscar for Foreign Language Film, but did not win. It was also nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival, but did not win either.

However, it was awarded the Belgian Femina Award and at the Thessaloniki Film Festival, it was awarded as the Best Film, while in the same competition, Papamoschou also won the Best Actress Award.
