Mary Aroni: The "pasha ferra" of the Greek cinema that his death "knocked" the door early!

Mary Aroni was the "paste flora" of Greek cinema, the death she "knocked" the door early! What are the tragedies that happened in actress that we like to watch in old Greek films?

Maria (Mary) Aroni left life at dawn on July 16, 1992 while she was asleep. She was an eminent theater actor and protagonist for many years, especially the National Theater. See as well: The forgotten giant of life who has gone for a last grace.

Mary Aroni's last name was Arvanitaki. Born in 1916 in Athens. His father, named Leander, was a Constantinopolite, professor of the great school of Genesis and stockbroker. Before getting married, her mother kept her own sewing workshop that she closed after her wedding to devote herself to her family.

From a schoolgirl, Mary had shown her attraction to the theater, having successfully participated in all school performances. His dreams, however, were broken in 1929 when his father committed suicide. This tragic event plunged the whole family into mourning. The financial crisis had led to destruction and unable to cope with his debts, he ended his life. Mary's mother was alone and had to find a way to raise her children. She was forced to reopen the old fashion house and told her daughter that she should work with her. The girl was disappointed, but she knew that she could not do otherwise.

However, a little later, when her cousin entered the theater school, Mary did not support it. She went on a hunger strike to convince her mother to let her pbad this test and to do so. He graduated from the drama school with excellent recitation and singing. At the same time, he also attended the Athens Music High School.

During her studies, she met her husband and actor, Theodoros Aroni, whom she gave the last name during her career. With all the necessary material, the actress debuted in 1934 in the theatrical piece "Cosmic Movement". Her performance impressed critics, who called her "born protagonist", but also Marika Kotopouli who took her next year in her troupe.

So, in June 1935, "New Home" wrote about the newcomer: "She showed that she had great vitality and remarkable talent and I think we can expect a lot from her evolution." His evolution was really fast. In a short time, he joined the great protagonists of the theater and worked with bigmen such as Dimitris Horn, Kostas Mousouris, Manos Katrakis and others.

During the war, the Germans had commanded Aroni's house in Kalamaki. Although the actor went through difficult times, not only did he not rebuff and continued to appear at the theater, but he even made remarks to the conquerors. With the courage and confidence that she kept, she asked the Germans to take out their boots so as not to spoil the floor of the house!

The loss of the mother and his wife

After the liberation, Arone, along with his cousin and husband, Theodore Kritas, organized a tour of all the places on the planet where Greeks were. During the tour, the actor lost his mother and did not attend the funeral, which cost him dearly. In the 1950s, Aronis began playing tragedies and old comedies, leaving the public with the best impression. In 1955, her husband was diagnosed with cancer and the actor traveled with him abroad to exhaust all his health margins, but unfortunately the situation did not change.

On July 13, 1956, Thodoros Aronis died. It was the day of the first "Ecclesiastes" where he was the star. The first was postponed only one day. The next day, Arone appeared on the scene and performed a moving interpretation. The loss of her husband, Fentia as he called it, shook the actor. Her love for the theater was so great that she quickly came back and continued her career. During the last ten years of her life, she was exclusively engaged in radio.

Mary Aroni was also an honorary citizen of Rhodes. She had received the Golden Cross of Euphoria (1958) from King Paul and, in 1966, the great commander of King Constantine II, as well as other distinctions mainly from the Middle East ( governments and patriarchs). The appreciation that the theatrical public, in particular, has played in his face for his rich "talent" and his conscientious performance has been excellent.
