The girl who was adored more than anyone else and deservedly won the title of "National Star", 24 years after her death, continues to grow for generations and remains our Alikaki. In 1952, Aliki Vougiouklaki secretly took exams from her family at the drama school of the National Theater, from where she graduated with "very good" and two years later made her film debut with "Pontikaki". Forty or more box office successes followed that skyrocketed her career.

Finos had proposed "Jenny Jenny" for Alice with a fairly high fee. He offered her 500.000 drachmas. An astronomical reward for the data of that time. Aliki, however, because she realized that the role did not suit her, proposed Karezi in her place, who shot it with a lower case, but with greater success "reveals her nephew, Emilios Vougiouklakis, on the camera of the show" Summer #Not ”. In the theater she starred in sixty performances of great composers with "Happiness of the melody" being her swan song. "Alice was our chaperone. She was lively. Her eye and smile shone. It was also dual. When he was with the family he was a little girl and when he was outside it was a big vendetta "emphasizes Takis Vougiouklakis

Undoubtedly, Dimitris Papamichael was the great love of her life. "I remember Dimitris with all the typical of that time, he came home and with a bouquet asked me to marry Aliki" confesses the brother of the Greek star. Groomsmen at the wedding were Victor Michailidis, Theofanis Damaskinos and Dimitris Makridis. The party that followed left an era. The two starred in many films and plays, one of the most commercial and successful in the history of Greek cinema. Four years after their marriage, they have a son, Giannis. Their married life was marked by Homeric quarrels and so eleven years later they divorced due to a disagreement of characters.
