Born in 1927 in Alexandria, Egypt, dies in 1980,
Born with a Greek father and Egyptian mother.
She acted and danced in many Egyptian movies from the 1950s through to the mid-1960s but returned to Athens in 1965 after being implicated in a spy plot which apparently involved Egyptian/Israeli double agent Refaat el Gammal رأفت الهجّان aka Refaat al Hagan aka Jack Beton.
She appeared in at least two Greek language films following her return to Greece.
She also speaks Greek in at least one of her earlier Egyptian films where she plays the daughter of the local Greek barber.
She is one of my favorite, amazing dancer
