I loved you at your darkest

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go.Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. ---------------------------------------------------------- "You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains. You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines. You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows. This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too." William Shakespeare”

Melina Mercouri: Why she kicks ass

She was a Greek actress, singer, activist and politician.

As an actress she made her film debut in Stella (1955). She became well-known to international audiences when she starred in Never on Sunday (1960). For this film, Mercouri received the Best Actress Award at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

In 1967 she joined the struggle against the Greek Military Junta and started an international campaign, travelling all over the world to inform the public and contribute to the isolation and fall of the colonels. As a result, the dictatorial regime revoked her Greek citizenship and confiscated her property. When her citizenship was taken away, she said: “I was born a Greek and I will die a Greek. Mr. Pattakos (one of the colonels) was born a fascist and he will die a fascist”, a phrase which represented her love of Greece and democracy. 

There were terrorist attempts against her, including an assassination attempt in Genoa, Italy. However, she did not stop her fight against the dictatorship with interviews, concerts marches and speeches given all around the world.

After the fall of the Junta in 1974, Mercouri settled in Greece and was one of the founding members of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK), a centre-left political party. She was a member of the party’s Central Committee and a rapporteur for the Culture Section, while being involved in the women’s movement as well.

When PASOK won the elections of 1981, Mercouri was appointed Minister for Culture of Greece, being the first female in that post. As Minister for Culture, Mercouri took advantage of her fame abroad and got in contact with great European leaders in order to promote Greece. She strongly advocated the return to Athens of the Parthenon Marbles, that were removed from Parthenon and other buildings on the Acropolis of Athens by Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, and are now part of the British Museum collection in London. In anticipation of the return of the marbles, she held an international competition for the construction of the New Acropolis Museum, designated to display them and finally established in 2008.
