On the occasion of a tribute to Aliki Vougiouklaki, artists who collaborated and became closer to the actress spoke about her.
In the Mega show "Pame Danae" Makis Delaportas, Kostas Arzoglou, Melpo Zarokosta, Sotiris Adamidis, Giorgos Lianis and Anna Fonsou spoke about the "national star" of Greece, as they knew her.
Aliki Vougiouklaki[/B] was remembered by the public for her presence in the cinema, while she was loved by the public like few other artists.
However, Aliki Vougiouklaki also had a major complaint, which was brought to light by her good colleagues.
"She certainly had complaints and left with the regret that perhaps she was not accepted as the great actress. She took a lady to her dressing room, pinched her cheek saying: Oh, my Alice, how beautiful you are, and she became hysterical. She wasn't just a housewife, that word didn't suit her. She was the good hostess. The loss of Alice is a wound that has not yet closed in me," said Makis Delaportas.
In turn, Kostas Arzoglou said: "Sometime when he was going to baptise my son, Paul, he called me and said: 'Tomorrow is the baptism, eh? Come over to my house now. I went to her house and she told me to tell her the words to the Lord's Prayer and the Creed because she didn't want the church to see that she reads with glasses. Aliki's death marked the end of the star system."
Melpo Zarokosta[/B] then stressed about Aliki Vougiouklaki: "When someone is as glamorous as Aliki was, it is natural for people, especially women, to be jealous. One night she invited us to her house and told us that she didn't have much to eat, only an omelette. Doctor Papanikolaou called me privately, because he was a friend of mine, and said, because Aliki was smoking a lot, tell her that if she doesn't catch up... she won't."
The pathologist, Sotiris Adamidis, said: "He asked me one night: Doctor, you don't eat sweets, but you won't get one from me? And he took out a water bottle. I thought she was going to give me the sweet to take on my way out, but she said: Open your mouth, I want you to take communion."
George Lianis[/B] noted: "At some point my phone had rung and I heard a familiar, female voice. I asked who it was and she answered: I am Alice. She asked me why I didn't want to do an interview with her and I replied that I wanted to, but my priority was Thanasis Vengos. Aliki told me that we would do the interview, even if it was later. I told her very well, let's do it later. Aliki said things in the interview that she had never said before.
She had told me that the man of her life is herself. We had put that on the cover. She had called me and said she wanted to come to Prespes to do a helicopter commercial. In the afternoon Mr. Raptopoulos called me and told me that Aliki felt a pain and they took her to their clinic. A Russian doctor saw something very bad and serious in the examinations and said that Aliki had to go into surgery immediately."
Anna Fonsou said for her part about Aliki Vougiouklaki: "At a difficult moment in my life I had called Aliki in the middle of the night and told her that I was not well. She answered me: 'I'm coming to where you are. She came and arranged for me to go on tour with a company in Australia. Her absence is so great for me that I go and talk to her in the cemetery. No other actress in the world has come out with the glee that Alice had."
