Witold Pyrkosz was divorced. His first wife bore him a son

For many years, Witold Pyrkosz did not reveal that he had a son in the first half of the 1950s. He also did not mention his first wife, with whom he had a relatively short relationship. It is not known why he divorced her and whether he already knew his beloved Krystyna. Little is known about Witold Pyrkosz’s son himself, as he is not a public person and is only related to his father by his surname. He mentioned that he was divorced only once, and it seemed to be a coincidence. – I got an apartment, I won a car, a beautiful Trabant, I got divorced – he told the authors of the book “Twice Born”, to whom he told about his life, quoted by “”. Apart from the above, the actor did not mention in any interview that he had a wife and a child.

Witold Pyrkosz died on April 22, 2017 at the age of 90 due to a stroke following complications from pneumonia. – It’s not the same without him – Krystyna Pyrkosz said a few months ago in an interview with “”.
