Anna Vagenas: ‘Lucian Kelaidonis Said Our Daughter Resembles Melina Mercouri’

A touching story was shared by beloved actress Anna Vagenas on Studio 4, where she appeared alongside her daughters, Yaseymi and Maria Kelaidoni. She recounted the unforgettable moment when the late Lucian Kelaidonis saw his daughter Yaseymi perform on stage for the first time at Kazakou School. “We went with Lucian to see Yaseymi’s school performance. She performed ‘the sweet bird of youth.’ When she came on stage, we didn’t even recognize her. Lucian said, ‘She looks like Melina Mercouri,’” Anna recalled. He then told her, “We did well, Annaki; she will become a great actress.” In another heartfelt moment, Anna confessed about the many betrayals she endured from people close to her but emphasized that she remains trusting. Meanwhile, Maria Kelaidoni expressed her journey as the daughter of a legendary figure, noting that while it was challenging initially, she now cherishes the love and support she receives.
