Chrysa Spiliotis

Spiliotis and her husband both died in a wildfire in Mati, Attica. She was reported missing on 23 July 2018 and her body was identified on 29 July, two days after her husband's corpse was identified. Spiliotis apparently reached safety at a beach, where she left her dog, but returned to the area of the fire to find her husband.

At the Athens Festival on the evening of 27 July 2018, festival director Vangelis Theodoropoulos dedicated the performance of Thesmophorazous to Spiliotis, who was at the time listed as missing, and all victims of the wildfires. A statement of condolences from the Greek Ministry of Culture concluded, "Chrysa Spiliotis was a charismatic actress, a special woman, a bright presence."
