Born in Greece on 8 April, 1950 in the little village of Agios Georgios in Vion, Lakonia, Adelaide-based actress Chantal Contouri is the first Greek migrant to have ever pursued a career in acting in Australia and also has the honour of being the first Greek Australian to win a Logie award for one of her performances.
Contouri was the first offspring of Fotini and Konstantinos’ five children.
“My parents were really, really poor. We honestly didn’t have anything. They both had to work extremely hard to make a living,” says the 69-year-old award-winning actress in a rare interview with Neos Kosmos.
