On Sunday, October 27th, from 12:00 to 14:00 Athens tim, the radio show “Our Town” will present a tribute to Melina Mercouri. This special broadcast will highlight the life of this significant Greek figure—an extraordinary woman and actress—by focusing on her as both an artist and a person.

In the studio, Georges Archimandritis, a writer, creator of radio and television documentaries, and a PhD holder in comparative literature from the Sorbonne, will discuss Mercouri’s fascinating life and career in both Greece and internationally. The show will explore her collaborations with international personalities from the political and artistic worlds, as well as the differences between being a star and being an actor. Particular emphasis will be placed on her significant performances in theater and film.

The episode will also focus on her pivotal role in fighting for the restoration of democracy during the military dictatorship in Greece, as she managed to bring global attention to her country’s plight. Additionally, the tribute will highlight her notable efforts as Minister of Culture, where she emphasized the importance of educating Greek students about their cultural heritage.

Film journalist and critic Giannis Zoumboulakis will provide valuable and little-known information about her theatrical and cinematic career. Rare and interesting audio recordings will be featured in the show.

Melina Mercouri passed away in October 1994.

The show is produced and hosted by Themis Rodamitis. The broadcast will air on Sunday, October 27th, from 12:00 to 14:00, with a repeat on Monday, October 28th, from 04:00 to 06:00 Athens time.
