Maria Filotti (9 October 1883, Batogu, Brăila County, Romania – 5 November 1956, Bucharest, Romania) was a Romanian actress .[1] She was described as one of the "prestigious actors of the great realistic school" and the "directress" of a theater "that made an important contribution to transmitting the experience from one generation to the next."[2]
Filotti was the grandmother of Romanian actor, Şerban Cantacuzino.[3] Cantacuzino made his acting debut opposite Filotti in The Prince and the Pauper at the Bucharest National Theatre when he was eleven years old.[3]
