Spantidaki had a height of 1.76, was dark-haired with a beautiful face and was a final student of the Drama School of the National Theatre. “I tried to see the catwalk as the small stage of the Drama School of the National Theatre.

The path of Spantidaki
She was first in the predictions and her victory was certain. Miss Universe In 1977 the “Miss Universe” pageant was held in Saint Dominic in the Caribbean. Spantidaki was injured at the last minute and almost did not take part. He was in an accident and went to the hospital with a concussion. The organizers of the Greek pageants were ready to replace her but she eventually recovered quickly and traveled to Saint Dominic. After following the strict program planned for all the participants, she walked the catwalk in an ancient Greek style gown, designed for her by the designer Ioannis Vouros.

Spantidaki in 1977 A year later, she was invited to the Greek beauty pageants for the crowning of the new Star Hellas.

Every year the same setting, the same people, the same hungry looks that devour the girls on the catwalk.”

As he had said: “I am first interested in the work and the contributors, and then the role. In a great work even a couple of sentences would be enough for me, as long as I was there too! Only in such a case could I support my return.”
