What do the people who worked with Irene Papas remember of her? What has stayed with them? What did people feel when they saw her for the first time?
When asked to remember what she thought about the great actress in Michalis Cacoyiannis' "Iphigenia" (1971) Tatiana Papamoschou hesitated for a moment but then expressed her admiration for the great actress who was also a very beautiful woman who expressed these virtues with her mind as well. "She was a free person who questioned the status quo and conventions in art and in life," Papamoschou told the press.
Papamoschou spoke of a warm and generous person. "I remember it like it was yesterday, saying to her "What a beautiful thing you are wearing!" and her replying "Take it I give it to you," it was a generosity that seems rare among people. Then Papamoschou said, "She was a goddess, not only about her acting ability, the beauty of face, figure and mind, the ideal Greek woman.
Unfortunately, this talented beauty died recently to the enormous grief of her family, friends, audiences, and the Greek people. May she rest in peace.
