**TRIVIA**
**Sister of Takis Vougiouklakis**
**Her first theatre performance as a star, was a Bernard Shaw play, called Anthony and Cleopatra, it was a critical victory for the star**
**She left Filipoimon Finos for Karagiannis Karatzopoulos films in the late 60s, she produced 3 films there, all commercial successes. When she returned to Finos Films, the producers increased her salary**
**Her salary for each film was 1.000.000 drachmas and share of future profits of her films, when the basic salary in Greece per month was 2.000 to 5.000 drachmas**
**She starred in Lysistrata and Antigone in the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, both productions were massive commercial successes, but created great controversies**
**The last year of her life she starred in a commercial theatrical hit, named 'The Sound of Music', disregarding all of these people that thought that she was old for the basic role**
**She won the first female performance prize back in the 1960 for the film Madalena, directed dy Dimopoulos, in the first Thessaloniki Film Festival, which now is international**
**A doll and a pastry was named after her, and she usually starred in commercials in the beginning and during her career, for beers or car-help companies**
**Lawrence Olivier called her portrayal of Evita Peron in the Rice-Webber musical Evita, in 1981, as "the best Evita I have ever seen."**
**She was planning to stage Sunset Boulevard and play fading star Norma Desmond. It would have been her second portrayal of an aging actress after Alexandra De Lago in Tennessee Williams's Sweet Bird of Youth**
**When asked which international actress she admired Aliki described English actress Maggie Smith as "a gifted actress and a rare talent"**
**Her 1973 movie Maria tis siopis, I (1973) (Maria of silence) is in reality a remake of the 1948 Jean Negulesco film Johnny Belinda. The part of Belinda (Maria in the Greek version), the deaf mute rape victim had been played by Jane Wyman**
**Her 1969 movie Neraida kai to palikari, I (1969) (The fairy and the lad) is in reality a comic version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet**
**Her last movie Kataskopos Nelli (1981) was a strange mixture of two of her biggest theatrical hits Cabaret and Evita. Shooting originally begun in 1979 and was to be called The Girl At The Cabaret but due to copyright problems (she was not granted permission to use the original songs of the musical) the movie was shelved. Shooting was resumed in 1980 with a different storyline and new songs and the movie was released in 1981**
**Her 1980 movie Poniro thiliko, katergara gynaika (1980) (A cunning woman) that was to mark her comeback at the silver screen after a seven year absence was based on the Somerset Maugham play Theatre, a theatrical hit for her in 1973**
**She went through an audition in London in order to get the rights to play the title part in the Rice-Webber musical Evita even though she was the number one box office star in Greece and had acting experience of twenty-five years**
**Her 1963 movie, Ktipokardia sto thranio, ("Heartbeating in High School") was shot simultaneously in Greek and Turkish, with two different casts, one Greek, one Turkish. The Turkish version was called Siralardaki heyecanlar**
**One son, Giannis, born 1969**
**She was very interested in foreign languages from a young age. She was fluent in English, Italian and French**
**Was good friends with French actress Yvette Etiévant**
**Her 1960 movie To Klotsoskoufi was shot with leading man Mihalis Nikolinakos. After filming finished and the advertising was complete, Finos realized that Nikolinakos and Vougiouklaki did not make a good couple on the screen and the whole movie was shot from start to finish with new leading man Alekos Alexandrakis**
**After completing the 1957 movie Haroumenoi Alites, Aliki was considered by studio mogul Finos to play one of the 4 nieces in I Theia Apo to Sikago (The Aunt from Chicago). Vougiouklaki wouldn't settle for anything less than a leading role and told Finos, "don't you think I'm too young to play the aunt?" Finos fuming, threw her out **
**The 1969 movie I Daskala Me ta Ksantha Mallia, stopped production in the middle of filming with Aliki's difficult pregnancy with her son Giannis. The length of time taken between the first and second half of the movie can be seen as to how long her bangs grow between scenes**
**Aliki Vougiouklaki was the first choice to play the role of Rea in the 1961 film, O Katiforos. Aliki was afraid of the role being too risque for her, and the part was given to newcomer Zoi Laskari who became very good friends with Aliki**
**Aliki Vougiouklaki and Tzeni Karezi, in their careers were competitors, but were very good friends in their personal lives**
