Dimitris Papamichael - Biography
Dimitris Papamichael (Greek: Δημήτρης Παπαμιχαήλ; 1932–2004) was a popular Greek actor and director. In 1965, he married Aliki Vougiouklaki, the so-called "national star" of Greece. The star couple remained married for a decade, co-starring in several films that marked the "golden era" of Greek cinema.
He studied acting at the Drama School of the National Greek Theater, where he made his stage debut in 1955 in Euripides' "Hecuba" and interpreted several important roles during 1955-1960: Treplev in Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull", Jimmy Porter in John Osborne's "Look Back in Anger" etc. He then collaborated with the prestigious Theatro Technis (Art Theater) and created a personal group with his then wife, Aliki Vougiouklaki: between 1964 and 1974 they appeared together in several plays including George Bernard Shaw's "My Fair Lady") and starred in some of the most commercially successful films in the history of Greek cinema (their on screen partnership had started in 1959 and their marriage - in 1965 - was received with much enthusiasm from their fans).
After their divorce (1974) Papamichael retired from films and concentrated on theater; he was much praised for his excellent work in William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (title role) and Euripides' "Medea" (as Jason).
