Iasonas Triantafyllidis passed away at the age of 61. The well-known journalist and film and television critic had been facing health problems recently.
A few days ago, Iasonas Triantafyllidis made his first television appearance. Specifically, the journalist made statements on the show "Proino" on January 27, and referred to the series "Maria Who Became Callas."
"The series about Maria Callas is a good production with nice photography. It has a great Eleni Randou in the role of Callas's mother. Callas's real mother was more of a bitch, but Eleni brought out this potential very well, exactly as it should have. It has an excellent Renia Louizidou and Carmen Rouggeri is a miracle. The series is quite flat without having that something," he had said characteristically.
Iasonas Triantafyllidis has been writing articles for newspapers and magazines since 1985, and has made radio and television appearances, and in recent years, on the internet. He wrote articles for the Editors' Journal and at youfly.com. He hosted a daily noontime show on the Athens 9,84 radio station entitled "Athens, can you hear me?".
He had edited reissues of old material on CD for actresses and singers such as Aliki Vougiouklaki, Jenny Vanou, Sofia Vembo, Marinella, Tolis Voskopoulos, Yannis Spartakos, as well as all of Nikos Mamagakis' music for cinema, while he has made special tributes to the history of singing in Greek cinema, among others.
He had written over twenty books on the history of Greek cinema, song, musicals, as well as biographies of people from the artistic world and especially from Greek cinema.
