“Athenaaaaaa…”
We loved her as no other, admired her as much for her talent as for her beauty, her grace and her elegance! We grew up watching her movies (and not only us, our parents who were about the same age as her, us and 2 more coming generations). She is our own Jenny, who gave us her talent in comic as well as in dramatic parts. She was really unforgettable, playing the daughter of Dionysis Papayianopoulos in one Funny funny family and in Miss Director. We laughed and cried with her from her first steps as a very beautiful young girl in Hardy-Gardy, Poverty and Ethos and in the Aunt from Chicago, until her very womanly presence of her in Manto Mavrogenous. Who can ever forget her great performance in the double part in the Erotic Symphony as Irene and Betty Stergiou!
