The life of the screen icon / Edi Luarasi refused divorce in exchange for

The well-known actress for the Albanian scene, Edi Luarasi, was escorted to her last apartment by her family, friends and colleagues. Luarasi passed away yesterday afternoon, at the age of 81.

Colleagues who have shared with him the theater scene and the roles of Albanian films, have told parts of the life story of Edi Luarasi.

Well-known actor and director, Bujar Kapexhiu, has described Luarasi as “One of the most prominent actresses of Albanian art, theater and film, is no more. The most beautiful star broke away from the sky of Albanian art. "

For Roza Anagnosti, actress Luarasi is a “unique artist, star. A strong noble woman who endured storms in life. She is a woman who honors the figure of the Albanian woman. "I loved him with all my heart."

Edi Luarasi's career started as a singer, to later climb into the movie and theater scenes. Her talent in acting was noticed by Mihal Luarasi, who would later become her life partner and main supporter in acting.

Along with Mihali, Edi spent beautiful years in his career as well as difficult ones in life. Despite the sentence that the communist regime at the time gave to her husband, Edi did not back down, nor even refused to divorce her in exchange for a career. She worked as a seamstress and devoted herself to her two children.

Actress Rajmonda Bulku tells in News 24, how Edi Luarasi returned to the Albanian scene after 20 years of absence.

"I did not know him at a young age, they were expelled from art, they were convicted, they were maimed. When I first saw her, she sewed. And he was an extraordinary figure. You immediately understood where you would see her, that she was supposed to be an art figure with that interesting and modern portrait. He bore an extraordinary and painful burden. He once came to the theater and says I was in front of the investigator, I saw him and ran away. An unusual woman in unusual times as an example for the Albanian woman. Removal from the stage at its peak as an actress remained hostage to the end. She returned only 20 years later, with the play The Old Lady's Visit. "Edi was a great inspiration", says Bulku.

For Edmond Budina, Edi Luarasi was not only an inspiration, but also "it was her dignity as a woman, an unbreakable man, a consistent man with dignity that never lowered her head, not even where she went to work in tailoring." "She was an inspiration. What makes you respect her the most was the presenter of the 11th festival, the naughty girl, the free woman, the actress of the Brown Stains or the triumph over death, of some movies and theatrical performances, she left free and proud, as he had lived. "  adds actor Budina.
