Here are 2 famous actors from Greece died in Natural causes:
Elia Kazan
Elia Kazan (September 7, 1909 Constantinople-September 28, 2003 Manhattan) also known as Elias Kazanjoglou, Elia 'Gadget' Kazan, Gadg, The Actor's Director, Gadget, Elia Kazanjoglous, Ἠλίας Καζαντζόγλου, Elias Kazantzoglou or Elias Kazancioglu was a Greek film director, screenwriter, film producer, actor, theatre director and novelist. He had six children, Nicholas Kazan, Katharine Kazan, Chris Kazan, Judy Kazan, Leo Kazan and Marco Kazan.
Kazan is considered one of the most influential and pioneering figures in American theatre and cinema. He co-founded the influential Actors Studio in 1947, which revolutionized acting by emphasizing Method Acting and psychological realism. Kazan's early career in theatre included directing plays written by Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams, both of whom he would later collaborate with in films.
Kazan's first film as a director was "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" (1945), followed by "Gentleman's Agreement" (1947) and "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951), all of which earned him Academy Award nominations. He won two Oscars for Best Director, for "Gentleman's Agreement" and "On the Waterfront" (1954), which starred Marlon Brando in what is widely considered one of the greatest performances in film history.
Kazan's legacy is marred by his controversial testimony before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1952, during which he named names of suspected Communist sympathizers in the entertainment industry. This decision led to a lifelong rift between Kazan and many of his former colleagues and friends, who saw his actions as betrayal and opportunism.
