Greek actress and singer dies aged 96

Papas frequently paired with the Cypriot-born director Michael Cacoyannis, who also directed her in Zorba the Greek. Their collaborations included a string of film versions of classical tragedies, such as 1962’s Electra, 1971’s The Trojan Women, in which she starred alongside Katharine Hepburn and Vanessa Redgrave, and 1977’s Iphigenia. Along with her screen and stage career, Papas used her archetypally smoky voice to make recordings as a singer alongside two musical giants of Greece: the late composers Mikis Theodorakis and Vangelis.
