A Real Woman And Great Actress

Irene Papas is a Greek actress and singer, with more than 70 films to her credit, during her 50-year acting career. Director Elia Kazan is credited for discovering her. You might remember her from internationally renowned films like The Guns of Navarone and Zorba the Greek, but she is also known for her roles in Greek tragedies like The Trojan Women, Iphigenia, Antigone, and Electra.

Although her height was limiting to the roles she could play, Papas was recognized by Robert Ebert and other critics. As Ebert said, “There are a lot of pretty girls in movies, but not many women. Irene Papas is a woman, a lady, a great actress. We do not have many like her.”
