Na cenu Bafta byla nominována též roku 1962 za titulní roli ve snímku Phaedra. Třikrát byla též nominována na Zlatý glóbus (filmy Phaedra, Topkapi a Promise at Dawn).
After many years of collaboration, it’s an honor to state that this project has the exclusive (and never before granted) endorsement and support of the Mercouris family.
She received an Academy Award nomination and won a French Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award for her performance in the film Never on Sunday (1960) and an Italian David di Donatello for Topkapi.
