Paula Mitrache - Life

Life

Mitrache was born in Bucharest, Romania. After winning the title of Miss Bucharest, she became a singer, model, and actress. She sings in Romanian, English and Russian. She participated as the international host of the Festival di Sanremo 2004 and of "Stasera pago io revolution" of Fiorello. Her father was an engineer, and her mother is a pediatrician.

Her primary residence is in Bucharest, but she also stays in Rome, Milan, Naples and Bari, Italy.

The meaning of her stage name is Haiduc, an "outlaw" or "of outlawry," e.g., Bulgarian, Serbian or Romanian outlaw-type hero who helps the poor (similar to Robin Hood or Tadas Blinda) or the rebels who fought the Ottomans when they occupied the Balkans for over 400 years (1453-circa 1900). (Plural form: haiducii, hence her stage name.)

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “He’s indestructible. Frankenstein’s creation is man’s challenge to the laws of life and death.”
    —Edward T. Lowe, and Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens)

    “Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “After all, life hasn’t much to offer except youth and I suppose for older people the love of youth in others.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
