Kiriaki Corinna Tsopei (in Greek: Κυριακή Κορίνα Τσοπέη; born June 21, 1944) is a beauty pageant winner and actress. In 1964 Tsopei became the first Greek winner of the Miss Universe pageant.
On June 20, 1964, Corinna was crowned Miss Star Hellas, (Greek: Μις Σταρ Ελλάς), and moved on to represent Greece at the 1964 Miss Universe pageant in Miama, Florida. At the event she beats out Miss Israel, Miss Great Britain and Miss Sweden to be crowned Miss Universe bringing the title to Greece for the very first time. She has returned several times to judge the pageant since then.
After the event she went on to pursue a movie career appearing in a few Hollywood movies and television series such as A Man Called Horse, Daniel Boone, Lost in Space, Valley of the Dolls and A Guide for the Married Man starring Walter Matthau and Inger Stevens.
Apart from her beauty pageant work and acting career Corinna also is a Chairman on an organisation for children that suffers from leukaemia.
