Milena Dravic

Biography

Milena Dravic was a Yugoslav actress who began in dance and classical ballet at age four. In 1959, while still in high school, she was spotted on a youth magazine cover by director Frantisek Cap, who cast her in his film Vrata ostaju otvorena. More film work followed, and she studied at Belgrade's Dramatic Arts Academy. Her breakthrough came in 1962 with the Golden Arena for Best Actress for Branko Bauer's Prekobrojna, described as the Yugoslav equivalent of the Academy Award, a moment that set her on the way to becoming the country's first and arguably biggest female movie star. Her long career showed range: tragic heroines in state-sponsored World War II epics, experimental art-house work such as WR: Mysteries of the Organism, and, in the 1970s and 1980s especially, romantic comedies. Special Treatment brought her the Cannes award for Best Supporting Actress in 1980, and in August 1994 she received the Pavle Vujisic Award.
