In a New York Times article from July 20, 1967, Irene Papas talks about "the ridiculous little bunch of half-educated colonels who took over the country". Papas & Melina Mercouri & Mikis Theodorakis were brave patriots! www.nytimes.com/1967/07/20/a... 🎁

The dark-haired actress, who played in “Zorba the Greek” and other films, presumably ran the risk of losing her citizenship and all her, property in Greece as the actress Melina Mercouri did last week for similar statements. In a statement Miss Papas declared: “Nazism is back in Greece. The ridiculous little bunch of half-educated colonels who have taken over the country and set themselves up as a new kind of Salvation Army, intent above all on cleaning up Greek morals with their machine guns, have proved themselves to be no more than a band of blackmailers.'
