Katia Dandoulaki is an Academy Award nominated Greek theatre, television and film actress, former fashion model and recording artist. She is best known for her role as protagonist Virna Drako on the Greek television series Lampsi in the 1990s and is widely accepted by critics as one of the greatest theatre and stage actresses of modern times.
Katia Dandoulaki starred in many popular Greek films, like Papaflessas (1971) with Dimitris Papamixail. But her big popularity came when she portraited Marmo Panteou, an adulterous young wife, in the classic tv series "Pantheoi, Oi" (1977), based on a classic novel by Tassos Athanassiadis. During the 90s she starred as Virna Drakou in a popular Greek soap opera of Nikos Foskolos Lampsi.
She also played Maria Callas in Terence MacNally's Master Class, and Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire. She was one of the basic stars in the TV series, "Istera irthan oi melisses" (2000), directed by Yiannis Koutsomitis. It was one of the few successes that ET1, the state TV channel, had in the last few years.
