Alika vuoklaki biography

Blogs are a spare reader’s post, you can start writing on the site and you all the time we hear about the British royal family, while other monarchs remain outside our vision. Today I suggest you read a story about a woman associated with the royal family of Greece. There will be a lot of photos. Her name is unlikely to hear in Russia, outside Greece, only lovers of Greek cinema know her name.

But in her country, she became truly a queen. Queen in everything. Her name is Alika Vyulaki. Alika Stamatina Vuylaki was born on July 20 in Athens. Alika’s mother, Emilia Kumunduru, was a simple housewife. Father - John Vuylaki, was a local governor in Arcadia. In addition to Alika, two more brothers grew up in the family. At first, the family was quite wealthy, thanks to his father’s connections.

From this moment, Alika, like an older child, took on all the duties of the house and raised the brothers, since the mother worked for a day to survive in occupied Greece and grow three children. Aliki in childhood on the left. The role of Juliet. As a schoolgirl, she participated in school performances, which ultimately led her to an acting career. At 18, he secretly leaves for the National Theater Drama School in Athens, not saying about this to his mother: at that time the career of the actress was considered unacceptable for a decent girl.

In the year, a dramatic school is perfectly graduated. Then there was a debut in the movie "Mouse" of the year and a rapid take -off. Every year there was a minimum of the film from Alika. Alika sang well and sang all musical parties in her films herself. First years of acting. The film "Paradise in the face" was released in the year. In the year, she received the first award for the best female role at the Film Festival in Thessaloniki.

Songs from the film were recorded on vinyl and received the status of a golden disk, for the first time in the history of Greek discography. At the same time, Alika meets the crown prince of the Greek throne, Prince Konstantin. In the year, the summer prince won the competition of yachtsmen in the Dragon class. The last time Greece won the gold medal in sailing at the Olympic Games of the year.

Alika then sat the stands almost like a princess. Alika at the games. The connection of the crown prince, and then King Konstantin with Alika was not a secret for anyone, even for Western intelligence: photographs of Alika with Konstantin and his sisters - Princesses Sofia, the current queen of Spain, and Princess Irina decorated the covers of Greek and foreign glossy magazines.

Alika’s acting glory grew by day, but by watch, the people with adoration followed the development of the idyll of Alika and Constantine, and the popularity of the young prince also grew exposed to geometric progression, thanks to the connection with Alika. Until the case was concerned, King Paul I and Queen Frederick did not interfere with his son. It was Alika who caused the breakdown of Konstantin’s relationship with Princess Desire Swedish, who could end in marriage and a close alliance of Greece with Sweden.

But in March, King Paul I suddenly died. The young Konstantin hurriedly ascended the throne, and then the plans of the queen-mother Frederica radically changed. Queen Frederica was against marriage with Alika. A few years later, she will recall: "I could not think that the daughter of a traitor to the provincial Arcadia would enter our purebred family." Frederick was “lucky” that her mother -in -law, Sofia Prussian, died before her wedding, because she wanted to see the bride of her son and heir only Orthodox, and Frederick was Lutheran, but let.

Frederick was not so much embarrassed by the fact that Alika was a commoner, that she was six years older than Constantine, but that she would become a real Greek daughter -in -law, who does not put her mother -in -law in a penny. Alika was too independent, too desperate, too wayward to follow the royal protocol. In addition, Frederica was embarrassed by her profession, because "only those women who are not capable of anything else become actresses.

They can attract attention only with frank pictures and are not embarrassed to sort out men." Alika had such pictures. In those days, such photos were considered almost pornography. Alika gives out autographs. Israel, year. Konstantin never married Alika, subsequently explaining his decision by the fact that he was too young that he obeyed his mother. So Greece lost the last chance to get its queen Greek by blood.

In July, Konstantin announced an engagement with summer Anna-Maria, Danish Princess. Then the couple went to the homeland of Anna -Maria - Denmark. Immediately after the announcement of the engagement, Alika gave a small interview: “For me, the news about the announcement of the engagement of Konstantin was a complete surprise. We met until the last, he promised me that he could achieve permission for our marriage.

I loved him so much, but I understand that a simple girl will never marry the prince. I wish his Majesty and his beautiful bride only happiness.” The bride 2 weeks before the wedding turned 18 years old.After a break with Konstantin, Alika continues to act in films. Then, in her life, Dimitris Papamikhail appears again. He has been her fellow student and friend since studying at a dramatic school.

With him, she will play her best roles. Their duet of the Greeks themselves is the greek era of Greek cinema. In the year, she marries Dimitris. Their marriage overshadowed the marriage of the royal family in all respects - Alika and Dimitris were able to get to the church only thanks to the enhanced along the police. Athens did not yet know such a combination of a jubilant and adoring people.

In the year, Alika and Dimitris had a son, Yannis, the birth of which the Greeks met the birth of a real prince. In the same year, Konstantin and Anna-Maria had a third child, Prince Nikolai. Nobody paid attention to this fact in Greece. Alika did not work out with Dimitris. Perhaps because both of them were too explosive, and possibly, because Alika’s talent and popularity were much higher.

In the year they are divorced. Dimitris will die in the year from alcoholism. In the year, after the end of the dictatorship of the "Black Colonels" at the referendum, the Greeks will decide not to restore the monarchy. At this time, Alika rode in Athens in an open car, waving the Greek flag that marks the victory of democracy, and King Konstantin was in London at that time.

The Greek dynasty of Schleswig-Holstein-Zonderburg-Gluksburg will be the last Orthodox monarchy in history. As far as I love Greece: its story, culture, kitchen, music thanks Devon for the post, mythology, Philip in the end, I do not like their former royal family, but the post is not about that. In the year, the journalist’s already former king Konstantin asked him to comment on his relationship with Alika Vuyuclaki.

He limited himself to only one phrase: "She was a very kind person and a good actress. There was never a speech about marriage with her." And Alika continues to shine in films and receives the status of the national star of Greece. Alika Vyulaki starred in more than 40 films. However, its almost last appearance on the screen coincides with the beginning of the end of the Greek cinema.

Despite the incredible popularity, she will abandon the large screen and be limited to the theater. Moreover, that she has her own troupe, and then - her own theater, on the street of America, in the center of Athens, which to this day is called "Alika Theater." Alika turned out to be not only a brilliant actress, but also a wise entrepreneur. In the theater, she will play her best classic, comic and tragic roles.

She will bring to Greece the very first musical of the Nile Simon "Chariti". For thousands of theaters, it is Alika who will be the embodiment of Eliza Dulitl from the play “My Beautiful Lady”, the embodiment of Evita a platform from the same musical and the latest embodiment-Mary from “Sounds of Music”, a musical, which is called “Melody of Happiness” in Greek.

In the year, in secret from the public, she secondly married with the Cyprus entrepreneur Ergos Iliadis, but in the year she herself publicized this fact during a television program. Alika "burned" in just three months.

Neither the journey to America, nor the journey to Germany helped. The liver cancer was stronger than her. Next to her was a satellite of the last 10 years of her life, Kostas spiropoulos, an actor, almost a peer of her son, 26 years younger than Alika. The son of Aniki - Yannis Papamikhail, writes: “Twenty years have passed. As if yesterday. What can be said about Alika?

The best mother? Great artist and man? We will conduct various events in honor of Alika, who will present Alika, as a person, an artist, myth.
