Eleni Papadaki (Greek: Ελένη Παπαδάκη, 4 November 1903[1] – 21 December 1944) was a celebrated Greek stage actress who was murdered during the Dekemvriana events, accused for political reasons by the communists,[citation needed] of having collaborated with the Nazi occupation forces and the collaborationist regime during the Axis occupation.
She was born on 4 November 1903 in Athens to an affluent family, the granddaughter of university professor Stylianos Konstantinidis.
The theatre critic for the Demokratia newspaper greeted her performance with the comment that "today the stage has acquired a great actress".
During the Axis occupation of Greece she has been accused of being the mistress[2] of the collaborationist prime minister Ioannis Rallis including right-wing newspapers of the Greek Resistance.
