We have seen them in some old movies Greek cinema, we have grown up with their figures since they are very familiar to us, but in fact we do not even know our name. It sounds strange, but this is the truth about many accomplices we see, we know physiognomically, but we do not even know how they are told.
These are the "known - unknown" of Greek cinema and among them you will find a very familiar female figure, the Vicky Iakovidou. Sure, her name tells you almost nothing, but as soon as you see her face, you immediately recognize her. After all, she has appeared in so many films that she has deservedly won the title of the most "famous accomplice" of cinema.
Komparsos is the supporting actor, who says little or not at all. He appears in various scenes, while most of the time his presence does not play a role in the development of the story.
In Greek cinema, comparsos were widely used, especially in scenes that had to do with entertainment centers that in Greek films were not few. Vicky Iakovidou, then, was a accomplice when in fact she was not an actress, but a costume designer of the theater with several actress friends, such as Rena Vlachopoulou.
"Komparsiliki" made it a hobby, since he enjoyed these short passes. He appeared, as we read in 173 films, but in none of them did he have a complete role. But she was so often involved in films with box office success that she soon became a familiar figure to the public. And to leave in a way, its own imprint in the "golden" era.
The role they gave her was mainly that of a client in a nightclub. Her presentation, after all, was such that these roles suited her: blaze style of a lady who has fun after her husband. Here are the typical shots from the movie "Urgently wanted groom" with Rena Vlachopoulou in an entertainment center where Vicky Iakovidou sings and is excited.
Another characteristic participation was in the movie "Welcome to the dollar", where she had some more shots, since she was impersonating a prostitute.
The truth is that little is known about Vicky Iakovidou and her life. He was born in the 30s, but no one knows exactly when. As it is not known when he passed away.
For her second profession, the komparsiliki, as it is mentioned, made them purely as a hobby and so as not to hurt. She herself liked to enter various scenes and found it particularly amusing.
