Today: «Jenny Karezi» (Part 1 & 2)

Part 1:
The show's research sheds light on unknown tales from the family life of Eugenia Karpouzi, who was born in Athens but spent her childhood and school years in Thessaloniki. Before spreading her wings as Jenny Karezi, she lived in a strict environment with a very conservative and authoritarian father. The conflicted relationship came to a head when she decided to become an actor. Until then, little Evgenia had been an excellent student who had received a classical education in a Catholic school. The show chronicles how she took her first steps in the theater, as a graduate of the National Drama School alongside the iconic actors of her time, such as Katina Paxinou and Alexis Minotis. Her cinema debut came in 1955 in the legendary film by Alekos Sakellarios, "Laterna, Ftocheia kai Filotimo" (Barrel Organ, Poverty, and Honor). In her first appearance, she met with obstacles, as the producer of the film, Filopoimin Finos, did not want her, because he considered her cross-eyed! Sakellarios insisted and soon Karezi was established on the big screen.

Part2:
The show "Portraits with Christos Vasilopoulos" presents the years of maturity and politicization of Jenny Karezi. In the second part of Jenny Karezi’s biography, the turn she took regarding her personal life, but also her artistic choices, is presented. 1967 was a landmark year as she met Kostas Kazakos on the set of the movie "Kontserto gia polyvola". They immediately became a couple and accompanied each other in life and theater until her death in 1992. The episode describes how she became politically aware, as until that moment she was part of Greece’s lifestyle circle and enjoying the recognition being glamorous movie star brought her.
