Maria Filotti
Maria Filotti was a Romanian actress. She was described as one of the "prestigious actors of the great realistic school" and the "directress" of a theater "that made an important contribution to transmitting the experience from one generation to the next."
Filotti was the grandmother of Romanian actor, Şerban Cantacuzino. Cantacuzino made his acting debut opposite Filotti in The Prince and the Pauper at the Bucharest National Theatre when he was eleven years old.
