In 1957, the adaptation of “Zemsta” by Aleksander Fredro, directed by Antoni Bohdziewicz, appeared on the big screens, which became a ticket to the film world for the debutant. The then 17-year-old aspiring actress played Klara Raptusiewiczówna, creating an on-screen duet with cinema enthusiast Tadeusz Kondrat, who played Józef Papkin.
When they met, she was 17 and he was 47. They quickly struck a cord
Tyszkiewicz did not hide the fact that the role was a dream come true, especially since she collaborated with many outstanding artists whom she had never even dreamed of meeting before.
The masters playing in the film were my locomotive, as they say in our community, they pulled me along. It was enough to be with them and absorb their wonderful acting skills. A debut in such a group is more than winning the lottery
– in the pages of autobiography. She was particularly impressed by Tadeusz Kondrat, who took care of her and made her feel extremely comfortable on the set. He was considered a classy actor, famous for his impeccable manners and enjoyed great popularity among women. For Tyszkiewicz, he was not only an authority in his profession, but also a role model and they maintained friendly relations from the beginning. – We liked each other, very much. However, our intimacy from that time cannot be treated in the categories of present times – said Tyszkiewicz in “Super Express”.
Everyone was gossiping about Kondrat’s alleged affair with the debutante. Years later, Tyszkiewicz confessed what really happened
It is no secret that Kondrat was not indifferent to the charms of the 30-year-younger woman. He complimented her willingly and often, and finally he began to discreetly court her. Rumors quickly appeared behind the scenes that the aspiring actress and her experienced colleague had something more in common than just work. What added spice to this was the fact that at that time the actor who played Papkin was married and had an almost 6-year-old son. However, Tyszkiewicz did not treat him as a potential partner because she was not interested in him. “Those were decent times, so there was no question of any,” she said firmly years later.
Apparently, she was not even aware of how much sympathy the star shared with her, although many claimed that one word would be enough for her and he would leave the family. – Nothing happened between us – she later claimed, reacting to speculations. Ultimately, the topic fell silent, and it returned to the agenda only after the death of Tadeusz Kondrat in June 1994. This news also reached his son, who followed in his footsteps professionally. However, he referred to the matter only once in his typical, humorous way. – I’m glad that nothing came of my father’s advances, because it would be very difficult for me to call Beata “mother” – he told Super Express with a smile.
