Rena Dor

Started her career in the 1930s as a ballet dancer and appeared on stage alongside divas of that era like Zozo Dalmas. A couple of years later she won her first acting part in a number with Anna and Marika Kaluta. She was named "Rena Dor" by journalist Achilleas Mamakis. In 1943 she met Giorgos Oikonomidis and they fell in love. In '44 they both got arrested by the German occupation troops. After the the end of the War she won her first solo act in "Acropole" Theater (which was living its golden days back then) playing a part called "Anapodea". It was a triumph and she became a celebrity over-night! She continued her success in the years to come as the leading lady in many plays. In the 50s she became a couple with Alekos Livaditis. They lived together for 7 years but never got married. She made trademark appearances on the radio in the 50s and 60s. Her movies numbered only a few. She retired from stage in 1978 due to a health problem.
