George Marinos Passes Away at 87

Actor and singer George Marinos passed away at the age of 87. Marinos, a pioneer of live shows in Greece, had withdrawn from the public eye in recent years. Born in Athens in 1939, he introduced a new form of entertainment combining prose, satire, dance, and music, while collaborating with prominent artists such as Manos Hadjidakis and Nikos Gatsos. He was known for his sketches, caustic remarks, and imitations, satirizing Greek society. In recent years, he lived in seclusion in Nea Voutza.
