The well-known Albanian actress, Tinka Kurti , is currently living in a nursing home on the outskirts of Tirana.
The news has sparked strong reactions and emotions in public opinion, due to the artist's iconic status in the history of Albanian cinematography.
Euronews writes that the decision to stay in this environment was the actress's own will and she is the one who pays for the asylum herself.
Tinka Kurti is no stranger to this environment, as she lived and filmed the film "Boldero at the Old Men's Home" in the same villa for six months.
During those filming, she shared her daily life with other actors and the elderly who lived there.
At the age of 92, the artist enjoys constant care from medical personnel and nursing home staff, while her family and friends continue to be present with visits and moral support.
The state provides her with a special pension, but the expenses for her stay are covered by the actress herself and her family, who have been constantly involved in her care.
Tinka Kurti is one of the most important figures of the Albanian stage and screen, with a career that spans over 60 years.
She has performed in more than 50 feature films and over 150 theatrical performances, leaving an indelible mark on Albanian culture.
For her extraordinary contribution, she has been decorated with the titles 'Honor of the Nation' and 'People's Artist' and "Great Master of Work" by the President of the Republic.
