Barbara Brylska
One of the most beautiful Polish actresses, she dazzled with her looks as the priestess Kama in Jerzy Kawalerowicz’s Faraon/Pharaoh and she captivated the audiences’ hearts as Krzysia Drohojowska in Jerzy Hoffman’s Pan Wołodyjowski/Fire in the Steppe).
She started playing in German and Soviet films reaching a true-star stature after Leon Jeannot’s Bumerang [Boomerang]. She played a girl from Wrocław who fell in love with a young German but her father, still remembering the war, was opposed to the relationship. She’s also well known by Czech audiences. One of her more interesting roles was in Roman Załuski’s Anatomia miłości/Anatomy of Love where she played alongside Jan Nowicki and which is well remembered because of its brave – for the times – erotic scenes.
After a few years of absence she returned to the screen taking roles as mothers and young heroines’ confidants.
