Vardalos has kept busy since her success with My Big Fat Greek Wedding. She appeared in the TV series based on the film, on the series Drop Dead Diva (2009) and Cougar Town (2011), and in films such as Connie and Carla (2004) and Larry Crowne (2011). Vardalos admits that it’s the Portokalos family who made her super hit so successful. As Vardalos shares, “People say all the time, ‘I wish I was part of that family.’ I am so lucky. I have the greatest family in the world. I’m really lucky.” As her audience, we feel lucky to have known her family as well.
