Stanisław Woliński was born on July 7, 1892 in Sosnowiec. He took his first steps on the stage as an 18-year-old, and made his screen debut only after Poland regained independence with a role in “Honeymoons with Obstacles”.

However, it was the role in the first film adaptation of “The Quack” directed by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz that brought him the greatest popularity and recognition in the community. Even before the outbreak of World War II, he appeared in the comedy “Sportowiec Involuntary” or the film “Bogurodzica”. Unfortunately, the second production was never completed and has not survived to the present day.
After the end of the war, Stanisław Woliński successfully continued his career. He performed first on the stage of the Łódź and then the Syrena Theater in Warsaw. In addition, he still regularly appeared on the screen. His filmography includes such productions as “Adventure at Mariensztat”, “Enchanted Bicycle”, “Sketches with Coal” or “The Hat of Mr. Anatol”. The last time he appeared on the screen was in 1959 in the film “Cafe pod Minoga” and officially retired.
