		Melina Mercouri was in many ways a parallel figure to stars ranging from Hollywoodites Susan Hayward and Joan Crawford to Italy's Sophia Loren and Anna Magnani, with a star persona manifesting an outsize personality, a penchant for melodrama and a riveting lust for life.
		Mercouri later became the flamboyant and controversial Greek Minister of Culture and Sciences and gained her greatest attention in that capacity when she successfully lobbied for the return of the Elgin Marbles, classical sculptures which the British Museum had removed from the Parthenon in the 19th century.
		Mercouri later ran unsuccessfully for the office of Mayor of Athens in 1990 while still retaining her seat in Parliament and returned to her ministerial job in October of 1993, not long before her death from lung cancer complications.

		Mercouri became an instant international star in 1960 with her Cannes-winning, Oscar-nominated portrait of a life-embracing prostitute who observed a scrupulous professional moratorium: Never on Sunday.
		An ardent foe of the right-wing junta that ruled her country from 1967 to 1974, Mercouri was named Culture Minister in 1981 when her friend Andreas Papandreou took the reins of government.
		In that capacity, Mercouri promoted a revival of classic Greek culture, highlighted by her relentless but unsuccessful campaign to demand the return of the friezes and statuary of the Parthenon, known as the Elgin marbles, which still reside in the British Museum.

		Melina Mercouri, now a Minister in the Greek government, I believe, made a tremendous splash when this movie hit the screens, and it still retains its charm.

	MELINA MERCOURI Film Series at Film Forum in New York City
		Melina Mercouri (1925-1994) set new standards for volatility in the cinema; in comedy or tragedy she went all out: the most robust and carefree of playgirls; the greediest of thieves; the most passionate of adulterers; the most tortured and intense of artists.
		The daughter and granddaughter of politicians (Minister of the Interior, mayor of Athens), she opted early for a more bohemian life, conquering the Athens stage in "Mourning Becomes Electra," "A Streetcar Named Desire," and "The Seven-Year Itch" then going on to be a smash in Paris as well.
		(1956, Michael Cacoyannis) In her first film, Mercouri is a night club singer and full-time free spirit in revolt against the values of a patriarchal society, running through a series of lovers and even refusing marriage in the face of true love.
