She was born in 1933 in Ampelonas, where she lived until highschool. In 1946, after the Greek Civil War, Dimitra and her family moved to Athens, Greece. She studied in Karolos Kun and Pelos Katselis Art Theater and Drama School. During an interview with Greek newspaper Espresso she referred to the eye problems she faced “ I am dealing with a terrible health problem. I have macular oedema in both eyes but I don’t mind. Life has many aspects, some of which are not so pleasant. But I don’t let it get me down. I used to take the bus alone once, but I can’t do that today without help; I always need an escort. That’s life! You never know what will happen tomorrow.”
