Whatever the billing, Efi Papatheodorou is a Greek actress through and through, better known by face than by name to most viewers. Film has carried much of the workload, with television in between. The part of Elderly Greek Woman in 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' is the one that shows what she can do with limited screen time. 'What Will Become Of Us' belongs on any short list of her work. The bulk of the credits fall in drama.
