Melina Mercouri (Greek: Μελίνα Μερκούρη, born as Maria Amalia Mercouri, Μαρία Αμαλία Μερκούρη; 18 October 1920 – 6 March 1994), was a Greek actress, singer and politician.
She was born to a former cavalry officer and member of parliament, Stamatis Mercouris, and his wife Eirini Lappa. When she completed her secondary education, she attended the National Theatre's Drama School. She graduated in 1944. Her first husband was a wealthy landowner Panos Harokopos, and they stayed together until 1962 when they divorced.
As an actress she made her film debut in Stella (1955) and met international success with her performances in Never on Sunday, Phaedra, Topkapi, and Promise at Dawn. She won the award for Best Actress at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, and she was also nominated for an Academy Award, a Tony Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and two BAFTA Awards.
A political activist during the Greek military junta of 1967–1974, she became a member of the Hellenic Parliament in 1977 and the first female Minister for Culture of Greece in 1981. Mercouri was the person who, in 1983, conceived and proposed the programme of the European Capital of Culture, which has been established by the European Union since 1985.
From the movie "Pote tin Kyriaki" ("Never on Sunday")
Composer: Mikis Theodorakis Lyrics: Manos Elefteriou Εγώ είμαι ξένος που περνά ( Ο δικαστής ) Έχει η αγάπη τον καημό, η ξενιτειά το δρόμο, ο στρατιώτης τ' όπλο του ω ω ω ω κι ο δικαστής κι ο δικαστής το νόμο.

A beautiful song performed by Melina Mercouri, a beloved child of Greece, actress, singer and politician, fearless fighter of the dictatorship in Greece ('67-'74) . The melody is based on a Vangelis previous album, "Fais que ton reve soit plus long que la nuit", and the lyrics speak about hope for the city of Athens. This is the greek version and Vangelis plays in this song.
Mikis Theodorakis schuf dieses Lied zum Film Alexis Sorbas... Melina Mercouri wird hier aber von dem eben so genialen Orchester Alain Goraguer begleitet, der dieses Stück 1972 neu bearbeitete. Zorba - ...lass Geigen kommen und Sandouris, ein paar Trauben und Wein... dann reich' mir die Hand... Wir sind das Paar in der Sonne. Auf Kreta schlägt man sich in die Büsche. Reich' mir deine Hand, damit der Tanz weitergeht....
