Bessy Malfa

Her mother, Olga Malfa, was a painter, a graduate of the Vakalos School of Fine Arts, while her father, Yiannis Vassilopoulos, was at the Navy. She has a brother, George Vasilopoulos.

She graduated from the Greek-French School "Saint Joseph". She studied theater at the school of the Karolos Koun Art Theater, dance at the State Orchestral School of Dance and classical singing at the Athens Conservatory.

For her professional career, she preferred to use her mother's last name and this because when she was at the "Karolos Koun" Art Theater she was simultaneously working as a dancer-singer, while she was not allowed to do so. She has participated in many successful TV series, movies and plays.
