her death Martha Karagiannis, one of the most beloved Greek actresses of the so-called ancient Greek cinema at the age of 82 caused domestic grief.

Among those who said goodbye to Marta Karagiannis was greek cinema center, with the following message:

“Martha Caragianni never seriously cared about becoming a movie idol. She was a beauty who was never sold as such. She imposed her presence with her temperament and her explosive vitality, but also with the innocence of a daring beauty who was familiar and accessible,” says the Hellenic Film Center (EKK), saying goodbye to Marta Karagiannis.

“Marta Karagianni was one of the great ladies of Greek cinema in its commercial heyday, when great actors, supposedly famous theatrical comedians, portrayed characters recognizable to the general public on the screen.

Martha Karagianni, who has already begun her artistic career in dance, has starred in comedies and popular musicals by Yiannis Dalianidis, in which the best characters of Finos Film have shone. Usually she embodied a girl from a poor quarter in the cinematic shots of modern Greek ethnography, in which color, musical and dance numbers and an optimistic mood brought a new breath.
