Barbara Krafftówna
After a few distinct supporting roles she received an offer that every actress dreams about. Felicja in Wojciech Has’s Jak być kochaną/How to be Loved is a complicated role, rich in nuances and played in several time spans, which allows us to watch the heroine’s evolution from a young girl – madly in love and ready for the biggest sacrifices – to a mature woman, full of bitter knowledge. It was one of the biggest female roles in the polish post-war and cinema it earned her an award at the MFF in San Francisco.
Working once within the Kabaret Starszych Panów, she is a phenomenal comedic actress and that is how she is cast today, after her return from the United States. She plays roles of energetic older ladies who are full of life (Ostatnia akcja/The Last Action, Milion dolarów/Million Dollars). And for faithful fans of the famous TV series Czterej pancerni i pies/Four Tank Men and a Dog she will for ever remain Honorata – Gustlik’s fiancée.
