Sources from Proto Thema reveal that her passing occurred several days ago, kept under wraps by her family. The news emerged today, following a private cremation ceremony attended by a select group of relatives and friends in Ritsona.
Gioulaki had largely retreated from public life in recent years, despite a distinguished career in television, film, and theater. She did not participate in interviews or make public appearances. Her only child, Despina Dimopoulou, whom she had with her late husband, actor Kimon Dimopoulos, also shunned the limelight. When rumors about her mother’s health circulated last January, Dimopoulou firmly refuted them, underscoring the family’s desire for privacy.
This commitment to privacy may explain why there was no public announcement regarding her death or funeral, and no official statement has been made. The actress’s nephew, TV host Fotis Sergoulopoulos, also remained silent, reportedly missing his morning show on ERT to attend the funeral.
