Greek actress Dimitra Seremeti passed away at the age of 81. She acted in dozens of Greek movies over the course of many years. Toula, as her friends used to call her, had played several roles in more than 40 Greek movies next to great Greek actors such as Aliki Vougiouklaki, Vasilis Avlonitis, Jenny Karezi and Lambros Kostandaras. She also participated in TV series and advertizements.
Her husband Kostas Papachristou was also an actor and most often played a police or military officer in movies.
She was born in 1933 in Ampelonas, where she lived until highschool. In 1946, after the Greek Civil War, Dimitra and her family moved to Athens, Greece. She studied in Karolos Kun and Pelos Katselis Art Theater and Drama School.
During an interview with Greek newspaper Espresso she referred to the eye problems she faced “ I am dealing with a terrible health problem. I have macular oedema in both eyes but I don’t mind. Life has many aspects, some of which are not so pleasant. But I don’t let it get me down. I used to take the bus alone once, but I can’t do that today without help; I always need an escort. That’s life! You never know what will happen tomorrow.”
