In the previous days, intense rumors about her health caused many to discount her loss. However, it was even incorrectly confirmed then, on social media and elsewhere, that Mina Adamaki he was more than popular with the public. And this time it will be true: the beloved actress passed away yesterday at the age of 78 after facing serious health problems.

He was born and raised in Volos, in a city house. Her merchant father dreamed for her of a good marriage, French and piano. But Mina Adamaki, at the insistence of her sister, saw in her city a touring performance of the Art Theater – comic one-act Chekhov – and was fascinated. Her father didn’t even want to hear about the theatre, but she convinced him to let her try law school. And when attending classes, the goal was the Drama School of the Art Theater. She spent the day doing a Shakespearean monologue, although Karolos Kuhn asked her, “Can you tell us anything about comedy?”

She also studied puppetry and mime in London, co-founded the Theater Guild and was a founding member of Free Stage, and when she understood what Kuhn understood, she did it with grace, kindness, directness, culture and freedom. Comedy needs all of these, and Mina Adamaki applied them not only in her iconic role as Irini Haritu in the television series The Three Graces, but also in her later and diverse work on screen and on stage, which continued until recently: A good example is Medea » Bosta in the 2019-20 season and Phaedra next season.

“The potion in my life was art,” she said in an interview with K.. “It took me a while, but I’m glad I got what I wanted.”
