shrouded in mystery (Sat Aug 11, 2007 2:54pm ET)report post

I am currently in the process of helping a friend uncover the facts in her case. She claims that she is the daughter of Irene Pappas and Aris Velouhioutis. She has published 3 books about her lifelong search for the truth and she says that Irene Pappas has refused to do DNA testing in court. If there is anyone out there who can help with this case, please assist. All Renoula wants to do is prove that Irene is really her biological mother.

The amazing thing with acting is stage/screen presence, not to mention persona in relation to the mask, and everything attributed in way of gesture, nuance, etc......
Irene Pappas is obviously very beautiful; , attractive in total forthright of woman emancipated,( Grecian tragic ), that Rodin would have loved to put in bronze for all time....
What a Face ! !.........and don't forget those dark eyes !!!
Of course , all this in mind from films of her one has seen from the sixties..........

About Irene Pappas (Sat Mar 18, 2006 12:37am ET)report post
by Robert Davd-Michael
As an actor and writer, I had much the same experience as others did who have "discovered Irene Pappas". When I first saw this gifted acress it was fifty years ago. But as it true of all great actresses, she transcended the usual atttributes even of good classically-trained true actors; leaving her startling beauty aside, and her gorgeous figure, what she has is obviously that extra dimension which characterizes a Greer Garson, a Cornell Borchers, an Ingrid Thulin or a Charlene Polite. It is inward beauty, emotionally-normative strength, I suggest, added to high intelligence, trained economy of motion, a powerful speaking voice, the ability to vary speech and movements and a sensitivity that can be observed on her features at every moment. My favorite film of hers is "any", but she dominates the goings on even in the powerful"The Guns of Navarone" where she has little to do; look for "Tribute to a Bad Man" and "The Moon Spinners" to see what she can do--how very much--with very little to build upon. If only Dimitra Arliss and Dinah Sheridan, and Charlene Polite, had been given more work; if only we in the United States had been permitted to see her more often-and in challenging classical parts. Bravo, Irene Pappas...

Some years ago I came upon a film entitled The Island I was really taken with it I watched many times. that was the first time I saw Pappas, there wasn't really a great story line but it was very atmospheric. I thought she was compelling to watch.

Movie....THE ISLAND (Sat May 20, 2006 12:18pm ET)report post
by Steve
I've seen this movie once and I wanted to get a copy of it. The island in question is Astypalea (sp?) and it's an out of the way Dodecanese island. Some excellent shots in the movie but I can't seem to find a link on the web. If anyone can help please email me and I would like to get a DVD of the flick. Thanks

So, 4 years later some faceless JERK what calls itself "XENA" or some JERK name, decides to answer me!! THis should be fun. (Fri Oct 3, 2008 2:50pm ET)report post
by Just let me talk, no bureacracy.
Okay, Mister or Miz or Missez "XENA" & whatever your other 4 letters are, let me just ask you. Are you a sadistic secret police thug? Do you even know anything about me, besides seeing what I heroicly & agonicly wrote, in my brave struggle like Leomidhes for my egzistence, not yours? En onuymon ton THeon ELohistikon, ton Syumpathetikon, ton Eleison, or however the hack you say it. And man or woman or whatever named XENA, are you low IQ? Maybe that's your problem. Retards often laugh theirselves silly, when they encounter a genius such as myself. But if I were a REAL genius, I wouldn't even have any problems, would I? ELoH ELAAH THeos Deus is the only REAL & PERFECT genius. He's also known as KrrrSHNRa BooDza. & Taao. He knows everything, including how it is to be every possible female (SHe, like Eve image) & every species. Anyway, EinSCHtein said, "Every great spirit has always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." THis InterNet Web is obviously EXTREMELY demon possessed, & it is demonic, like in Terminal Error Marina Syrtis movie, Sirtis, because, like the satanic genie what done up & took over their TV typer computers in that movie, this InterNet is AGAINST ME PERSONALLY. Go ahead, call me "paranoid". See if I care. (I'm not paranoid enough, is more like it, like the heroic erudite intelligent Arthur J Kleps, the CHief Boo Hoo, used to say, beforer he beamed up or woke up. Kleps is the famous & amazing & miraculous arthur of the Boo Hoo Bible by Art Kleps. It has a Planet Saturn bieng shot & killed & blown ta smithereens on its front, & Tim Leary's name, hopefully the REAL Tim Leary, & not either of those at least 2 impostors pretending to be Tim Leary. One of those several fake Tim Learys done dropt ded, in 1,996, or so the CIA mafia CHeech & CHong clowny rotten lying swindling magazine High Times said. With that phony lawyer, or liar, Mike Kennedy. But the Boo Hoo Bible seems to have the REAL Leary. THe 2 fake Learys didn't even look like each other, let alone the REAL Leary. But the Boo Hoo Bible's back cover, has our wonderful spiritual 3 Eyed Toad. In Irene Papas tonguage, that's maybe hYUlos meta Tria Ophthalmi, or maybe, hUYlos Triops. XENA? Are you a strange foreigner? Yoiu're not Lucy Lawless, the blackish haired mongoloid pink skin blue eyed acrobat, are you? Friend of Sorba? I hate plural so-called "gods". Ya haefta ask, HWWW, HOOO, WHo, is the One Only Owner of ALL Kosmoses, Religions, & Observors? By definition, there ken ownly bee WAN av dvowz. Can only be ONE of those. -------- PHoenician PHonetic Fanatic. F*nyysh*n F*nedik F*naedik.

I said HezekEL, that's HezekEL, with an L on the end. EL = YL = THeos = Devs = Diys = Duw = DDuw = Nuw = Dia = DHia. In English, I say ADE (add, eh, not eyd) instedda GOD, & in Russian Rwsskyiy DLoosskyeey Pycckuu I say AGYE (A7E) (Gamma not 7) instedda BOG (607). THat's because GOD & BOG (607) look like Ba'aL the devil upside down in PHoenicican IsraELi of Solomon & ELiJaH, but ADE & AGYE (A7E) look like ELoH or ELoHaa the Y*HoWaH upside down in PHoenician YsraELy. ELoH = ELAAH in 'araby Esmaa'YLy, spelled alef laam alef haa-. THey also call it ILAH. ONe thing I know, is that those people who believe in ALLLaaH, ELoHYM, trinity cult contradictory hocus-pocus mumbo-jumbo, GOD, BOG, Krishna, & Chinese or EAst Asian fat statue "Booda", are nuttier than fruitcakes. THe truth is ELoH, ELAAH, Unity, MonoTHeism, ADE, AGYE, KRRRRSHNRA, & SansKrrrrt Paali North India (dark race European Gypsy Persian Aryan, like dark blue skin black hair black eyes Krrrshnra)version of the living Boodztha who had a wife & son, & he said, "Mano poobbang-gamaa, ZTHammaa, mano sert-traa, mono mayaa." He was the dark European, not CHinese-style, Sidzthadltstha Gaotama Boodztha SYaakya Mooni of 6th Century BC in Magaztha & Keekartreshoo & Bozthgayaa & Kapilavastoo & Loombeernree & AAnanda & Yasyozthadlaa & DLaahoola & MahaKasyapa. Not some CHinese Japanese fat statue. Although Jong Gwo Gwangtong wa can call him Fat I guess, but they betr show a dark European, that meanz sumbuddy frum North India BHaadlata, of SYinzthoo & Gang-ga rivrz. He waz skeletly skyinny som time, but he didn't like ta be like that, eithr. He waz at the time ov EzekiEL HezekEL, who waz frum the southrn kingdom of Judah Y*hwdah, with hwd = hooood = who'd, not frum tha northrn kingdom of non-Jew country ov IsraEL. At that time, the non-Jew country of IsraEL had alreddy bin teykan kaptiv by Ass-Syria, AAshwr, in 721 BC, by AHalmaneser & Sargon. EzekiEL HezekEL Y*hqkez*qkEL the Jew PHoenician alpha-bet of Y*hwdah the south kingdom was taken keptiv by Nebukhadnezar ov Baabhel about 606 to 586 BC, I bet. ( I guess most peepll know that.) THe non-Jew Yis*ra-EL was JOEish, Coat Stripes that iz, Yosyep K*tonath Pasyey. Not Y*hwdah.

A glorious talent (Mon Sep 22, 2003 12:56am ET)report post
by Suzanne Novotny
Just saw "Zorba the Greek" last night after many, many years...I had forgotten how absolutely stunningly beautiful Irene Pappas was; arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world at that time...and of such talent that the principal big-name actors could be accused of overacting to achieve what a mere flick of the eyes or movement of the body could be accomplished by Pappas...few if any could equal her even today, I think. And if one thinks of any archtypical Greek woman, there are only 2, really, Callas and Pappas.

Greek dignity (Sun Apr 6, 2003 11:45am ET)report post
by Elaine Sutherland
The face of Irene Pappas, combining as it does severity and beauty has always represented to me the core of ancient female dignity. Perhaps because of her association with the classical Greek tragedies, but even without them, her face always stirs a sense of historical depth. She suggests a timeless sort of womanhood, not of mere mother and wife, but of the female leader of enormous power. She could be the face of Cleopatra, Hatchepsut or Boadacea,
