Hosted by Two-Time Academy Award Winning Actor Sir Peter Ustinov. The Father of Medicine uses his advanced holistic medical techniques on the revered athletes at the ancient Olympic Games. (See also Olympics, Part 2: The Quest for the Athlos) “Hippocrates in Olympia” focuses on the fascination of Hippocrates and his advanced holistic medical beliefs, while investigating a closely related subject, namely the medical care of the revered athletes during the ancient Olympic Games. It was of vital importance in that era that the sportsmen of the day were kept in perfect health in order to provide the much loved entertainment to the leading dignitaries, artists and philosophers in attendance at the ultimate sports festival. Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, has been passionately studied for centuries for being the first pioneer into what we now know as the field of modern day health care. In addition to his famous Hippocratic Oath, his fascinating life is beautifully portrayed in this one hour documentary entitled “Olympics: Hippocrates in Olympia”, by George Petritsis, based on the book “Medical Care During the Ancient Olympic Games” by Christos Lolas, M.D., and narrated by Academy Award® winner, the late, great Sir Peter Ustinov. This documentary is believed to have been Peter Ustinov's final narration and his mellifluous voice adds additional richness to this magnificent work.

Cynthia Daddona auditioned to be a roving goddess correspondent for the "Tonight Show" during the Athens Olympics. After having a nice conversation with Jay at one of his California public appearances, Cynthia personally handed this tape (yes, tape!) to Jay who graciously accepted it. When a follow-up was done to see if an American-Italian-Greek Goddess could be an Olympic, Tonight Show correspondent in Greece it was discovered that the "Tonight Show" is not on the air during the Olympics! Oh, well. It was fun making this video in Santorini and at the Acropolis. Watch how Cynthia, a seasoned on-camera personality, interviews tourists, including some who don't speak English, and even interviews a horse that answers her question! Enjoy. FYI, Cynthia was also a page at NBC for the Tonight Shows starring Johnny Carson in the late 1980's. See all our celebrity interviews at: https://www.CelebrateGreece.com/celebrity-interviews Jay Leno is sorely missed for his common man's humor and for his graciousness to guests and to the public. When one meets Jay in person you quickly discover he is a simple, regular guy with a special talent a putting an audience at ease and making you laugh.   James Stathis (Founder of CelebrateGreece.com) also met Jay Leno with Cynthia. When Jay asked him "What do you do for work?" Dr. Stathis told Jay that he was a dentist who also enjoyed documentary filmmaking. To which Jay, without hesitation, quipped back "Ask your mother...you are a dentist with a little camera!"
