Hard to believe Irene Papas was # 564 on the 2021 Oracle of Bacon top 1000 but she is and you wouldn’t know it by her credits. Not only that but she makes 3 decades lists, being the # 430 most connected actor of the 1960s, the # 224 most connected of the 1970s and the # 311 most connected of the 1980s.
These are the actors on the 2021 list she appeared with.

Hey Dan. Thanks for this information on the late great Irene Papas. She will get a better UMR spotlight after my weekend getaway. WoC and I are headed to Auburn to see the Auburn/Penn State game.
I agree, it is pretty amazing that she is so highly ranked on the Oracle list. Anthony Quinn is easily her most frequent Oracle co-star. As for Oscar winning Co-stars…15 is pretty low, but she made most of her movies away from Hollywood. Good information. RIP Irene Papas

Irene Papas has died at the age of 93. The Greek actress starred in Zorba the Greek and The Guns of Navarone. RIP.
I have seen 4 of the Irene Papas films listed in the database in your chart plis The Guns of Navarone which you didn’t include. RIP
Thanks for the heads up on her passing. I had mistakenly thought she had passed away years ago. If I had realized she was still around I would have already done a page on her. I will try and complete a page on her later this weekend. WoC and I are headed to Auburn (without kids) this weekend. As for the list, I got home from work yesterday and had 25 minutes before we left for the trip. I quickly put together that list of movies, but completely forgot about Guns of Navarone. I have seen 3 of the movies listed. Good stuff as always.
French New Wave director Jean-Luc Goddard has died at the age of 91. His film Breathless is excellent.

Hey Flora…thanks for the heads up on his passing, sadly with all of his French movies, we do not have enough information to do a decent UMR page on him….but he was a movie legend. Sad sad news. RIP Mr. Goddard.
Thanks Flora. I have updated this page and her UMR page. Sad news….she was closing in on 105 too. Rest in Peace Marsha Hunt.
