CALLAS IN MOVIES THE GUNS OF NAVARONNE

THE  GUNS OF NAVARONE
 August 1960

I want to make movies to show him,the man has a fascination for stars like Garbo, Davis, Taylor ,not surprising since  Royals shunned him ,Princesses Grace, Margaret ,the duchess of Windsor, the man would pay dearly to have them on his dawned yacht, fat chance.

--- They are more famous than you, they haven't lost their talent, without your voice you are nothing.
Something came up,a  war movie in the Aegean with Gregory Peck,David Niven,Anthony Quinn and Stanley Baker,Carl Foreman the producer  wrote the script adapted from Alister Maclean's novel.We met on the Christina there and then he  offered me the only female part,Maria a resistance fighter,I loved it, for my debut no competition,Ari said 
--- NO !  Wait for something better,more lady like ,you have shed enough blood  with your Normas and Medeas
The Guns of Navarone grossed $28,900,000 at the box office ,became the eighth top-grossing film in 1961,earned a net profit of $18,500,000,a Greek woman no one ever heard of ,got the part of Maria ,became an overnight sensation,her name was Irene Papas

 I was very unhappy about it,so was Franco Zeffirelli

--- Can't  you see ,he wants to keep you in his cage,don't want you to become more
famous,it hurts his ego.Don't listen to him,he is not your husband ,not your agent
--- He is the man I love
--- Born to destroy , he will destroy your life, your career
