Kathimerina Nea (Daily News) press quote from front page story on Olympia Dukakis and George Costacos
Cultural Correspondent to the United Nations
"Before they met, and while Dukakis was already shining around the globe, Costacos was starring in New York in the 'Emigrants' and was the only actor picked by the national American network PBS to co-present live the broadcasts of the famous documentary 'The Greek Americans' -- where a large dedication was made to the important path of Dukakis. The event listed them together in the exclusive publication Celebrity Bulletin, which determines the brightest names in showbiz since 1938. The two Greek artists finally met when Dukakis was starring on-stage as Clytaemnestra in a modern american adaptation of 'Agamemnon'."

MEN Magazine: George Costacos "La Boheme" Los Angeles Premiere press quote
"We wonder if the much-discussed presence of Costacos in the company of famous director Baz Luhrmann during the premiere of La Boheme in Los Angeles means their collaboration in his new movie Alexander the Great?

'I marvel at Baz's work and his films have left a mark on me, from Strictly Ballroom to Moulin Rouge. I haven't seen anyone rehearse the way Baz does. Certainly a collaboration with him would be a great experience. I cannot say more about this'."
