Dimitris Papamichael was born in 1934, in Piraeus, Greece. He studied
acting at the Drama School of the National Greek Theater, where he made
his stage debut in 1955 in Euripides' "Hecuba"
and interpreted several important roles during 1955-1960: Treplev in
Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull", Jimmy
Porter in John Osborne's "Look
Back in Anger" etc. He then collaborated with the prestigious Theatro
Technis (Art Theater) and created a personal group with his then wife,
Aliki Vougiouklaki: between 1964 and
1974 they appeared together in several plays including
George Bernard Shaw's "My Fair
Lady") and starred in some of the most commercially successful films in
the history of Greek cinema (their on screen partnership had started in
1959 and their marriage - in 1965 - was received with much enthusiasm
from their fans). After their divorce (1974) Papamichael retired from
films and concentrated on theater; he was much praised for his
excellent work in
William Shakespeare's
"Macbeth" (title role) and Euripides' "Medea" (as Jason).
