Panagiotopoulou was born in Kypseli, Athens, Greece on 30 July 1945. She became famous after starring in the Greek series Madam Sousou in 1986.[1]

A major hit of her career was starring as one of the three Haritou sisters, Olga, in the Greek hit series Oi Treis Harites during 1990-92. In 1993 she wrote and starred in the series Rosalia (with Eleni Gerasimidou). The series lasted only 1 season due to low ratings.

Panagiotopoulou also enjoyed a successful film career, having appeared in several commercially and critically successful films such as Safe Sex (1999) and To Klama Vgike Apo ton Paradiso (Crying... Silicon Tears) (2001).
