Dorota Segda didn’t have it easy when she was young. She confessed the truth about the Soviet actor

Although Dorota Segda has been performing on stage for many years, in a recent interview she talked about a traumatic experience from the beginning of her career. At that time, she was working on the set of a Hungarian film, where a very pushy Soviet actor was also present. “Then I experienced MeToo,” says Segda.

Dorota Segda began her career on the stage in the 1980s. After some time, she also started appearing in films, series and television shows. However, her life was not limited only to acting. At one time she even had her own program on RMF FM, where she hosted the “Metamorphoza” program together with Robert Konatowicz.

Moreover, in 2012 she received the title of professor of theater arts and is employed as a full professor at the Academy of Theater Arts in Krakow. Six years later, she was elected rector of that university, and in 2020 for another term of office, which will last until 2024.

Dorota Segda’s beginnings were not easy. The Soviet actor crossed all boundaries on the set

The actress recently gave an interview to “Tygodnik Powszechny”, in which she again returned to the unpleasant situations from the beginning of her career. In 1988, she worked on the set of the Hungarian film “My 20th Century”. At the time of filming, she was 23 years old, and in the production she played the main role, co-starring with the star of Soviet cinema, Oleg Yankovsky. She confessed that she had fallen victim to him.

I am a young actress and I play the main role in the Hungarian film “My 20th Century”. My partner is a star of Soviet cinema. He called himself ‘the history of Soviet cinema’. Then I experienced MeToo, says Dorota Segda.

– To this day I still can’t believe that I didn’t go to the producer and tell him that if this guy touches me again, I’ll leave the set and won’t come back, she confessed. The actress and professor of theater arts directly said that the man crossed all boundaries.

What he didn’t do: he broke into the villa where I lived through the window. The owners did not react to what was happening. Maybe they thought these were normal customs between actors, male-female games on film sets – we read.

Jankowski died on May 20, 2009, and Dorota Segda later met the director of “My 20th Century”, which was awarded in Cannes. – I told her what happened on the set. Ildiko Enyedi, a feminist, was shocked that she didn’t know anything about it, Segda said.
