Elida Cangonji (October 31, 1953 – November 28, 2016) Actress and psychologist. He was born on October 31, 1953 in Tirana. Quite by chance, she started her career as an actress, although small with a few feature films, but with so few interpretations, it must be said that she played successful roles. When they told her that she could play in the film, and they even offered her the main role, she was somewhat taken aback, she refused, but still driven by inner curiosity and of course by a somewhat adventurous motive… she accepted. Although in the auditoriums of the faculty of medicine, her seat was empty every time she had to appear to do the next doubles on the set. Zana e Deda, Summer of Salvation, Zara e Mato Gruda, or Meusesja e Kanani, was the same young actress who was selected by the directors as the different image of the film. He caught the eye of the directors as he took the bus to go to the faculty of medicine in the same place where many of those who worked at Kinostudio took him. So after doing the screenings, she joined the filming crew in Tropoja for the filming of the movie "Rrugë te Bardha", in the well-known role of Zane, which is also her first movie in 1974.
