Katy Florou started her career in the 50s in an extras agency as a lowly typist. Intelligent, dynamic, creative and a restless soul she became an expert in the typing of plays and scripts. Almost all the names in Greek Cinema passed through her office. Soon she began to become involved with the scripts and was always the first audience-critic for each work. And so she became a vital and integral member of Greek Cinema production.
