Tzeni Karezi (Τζένη Καρέζη; 12 January 1932 – 26 July 1992); also known as Jenny Karezi, was a Greek film and stage actress.
Evgenia Karpouzi was born in Athens, Greece, to a mathematician father from Mesolonghi and high school teacher mother from Aigio.
His father used to sell watermelons, called "karpuz" in Greek, in his spare time, which is the source of her last name, Karpouzi.
She studied under the direction of the Sisters of St Joseph at a private French school in Thessaloniki, and later by the same Order in Athens.
She learned French fluently.
When she was a teenager, her father left the family and she continued to live with her mother.
In 1951, she was accepted at the Greek National Theater (Εθνικό Θέατρο), where she studied in the Drama School.
Upon graduation, in 1954, she was immediately thrust into starring roles in the theatre, playing alongside such actors as Alexis Minotis and Katina Paxinou.
In 1955, Karezi made her cinema debut in the Alekos Sakellarios' comedy, Laterna, ftoheia kai filotimo in 1955, a massive success just like its sequel, Laterna, ftoheia kai garyfallo in 1957.
For the soundtrack of the 1959 film To nisi ton genneon she recorded a song by future Academy Award-winner Manos Hadjidakis, "Min ton rotas ton ourano" ("Do not ask the sky").
Her career flourished in the 1960s, when she headed her own theater troupe in 1961 and starred in some of the most classic movies of the Greek cinema, like Lola (1964), Mia trelli... trelli oikogeneia (1965), Tzeni-Tzeni (1966), and Kontserto gia polyvola (1967).
In May 1962, Karezi wed a journalist, Zahos Hadjifotiou, but this marriage ended in divorce two years later.
Her greatest film success was Ta kokkina fanaria (The Red Lanterns; 1963), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Over the following decade, she continued to produce and star in such stage classics as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Medea and Electra.

Tzeni Karezi died on 26 July 1992 from cancer at her home and was buried at public expense.
She was believed to be 60 years old (varying different years of birth had been ascribed over the years).
Thousands attended her funeral.
