Ellie Lambeti(1926-1983)

Ellie's last theatre performace was as Sarah, in the play Kids of a lesser God, where she performed a mute young woman. In reality, Ellie had lost her voice because of cancer, few months earlier, and she died of the same disease few months after this performance.

"Theatre is religion, oh my heart. Don't you ever forget it" said Marika Kotopouli (the Greek actress) to her favourite student Ellie Lambeti.
