Actress
Date and place of birth: 04.04.1937, Bucharest
She began her stage career at the Turda Theater, from where she came to Oradea in 1962, together with her husband. Endowed with a pleasant physique and a certain stage grace, she benefited from above-average use in comedic ingenue roles, and not only. Shining, at times, she brought warmth and freshness to the stage. After fifty roles in the thirteen seasons in Oradea, she transferred to the Sibiu Theatre. In almost all the roles entrusted to her (mostly appropriate for her age), Ana Popa brought a touch of cheerfulness and optimism, of confidence and good humor. Roles such as the Sprite of the Forest ("Floricica purpurie" by Brausevici and Karnauhova), Mioara-Lăcrămioara ("Floare de nu-mă-oita" by Valentin Avrigeanu), Eros ("Critis" by Radu Stanca) suited her perfectly - her crystalline laugh being unmistakable. With humor she played nice girls or even mischievous boys: Liana (in "Nicnic" by Anca Bursan and Gheorghe Panco), Miţi ("Escu" by Tudor Muşatescu), Gulita ("Chiriţa în provincie" by V. Alecsandri), Cocoşelul ("Muşchetarii măgăriei sale" by Ion Lucian and Virgil Puicea).
