Biography
Olga Karlatos (Greek: Όλγα Καρλάτου; 20 April 1947) is a retired Greek actress and Bermudian lawyer, known primarily for performing in Italian horror cinema. Between the end of the 1960s and the early 70s, Karlatos had a short career as a singer, recording an EP and some singles in French and Italian, including the theme song of the drama Eneide, in which she starred as Dido, the legendary queen of Carthage. In 1975, she took part in the film My Friends, directed by Mario Monicelli, in which she played Donatella, the unhappy wife of the surgeon Alfeo Sassaroli. During the '80s, she participated in the film of Mauro Bolognini The Lady of the Camellias (1981), with Isabelle Huppert; she later played the starring role in the Lucio Fulci giallo film Murder Rock (1984), a small part in the Sergio Leone film Once Upon A Time In America (1984), and the film musical Purple Rain (1984) with Prince, in which she played the singer's mother. She also appeared in such television productions as Peter and Paul (1981), The Scarlet and the Black (1983), Quo Vadis? (1985), and Miami Vice (1986). Post-acting career In 2007, Karlatos graduated from the University of Kent with a law degree and was admitted to the Bermuda Bar Association in 2010. Karlatos married Greek-Ethiopian filmmaker Nikos Papatakis in 1967. The couple had one child together, son Serge (b. 1967), before their divorce in 1982. The next year, she married American director, producer, and writer Arthur Rankin after he cast her in a television adaption of The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Sins of Dorian Gray. They later settled in Bermuda. Source: Article "Olga Karlatos" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA.
