POLISH FILM ACADEMY

Charismatic singer in the famous Jerzy Wasowski and Jeremi Przybora’s TV show Kabaret Starszych Panów, she was the Polish sex symbol of the 60s. Gifted with unusual beauty and a soft, characteristic voice that used to give men chills, she was unlucky with leading roles. The Polish cinema didn’t know how to fully use her talent.
However, she did shine in supporting roles and in distinct shows, creating characters that were often fuller, more interesting, and richer than the heroines. She played sensual women who were aware of their own strength, wise, but often bitterly so and nearly cynical. Those were exactly her roles is in Morgenstern’s Jowita, Has’s Lalka/The Doll and her wonderful role as Lucy Zucker − Borowiecki’s lover − in Wajda’s Ziemia obiecana/The Promised Land.
She appeared on screen for the last time in Podwójne życie Weroniki/The Double Life of Veronique.
