She rejected his advances for a long time. Finally, she invited him for coffee. “I will never forget her”

Krzysztof Janczar had a crush on Gabriela Kownacka for years. Their paths crossed more than once, and the actress firmly rejected her first advances. It was only in the 1990s that the couple decided to form a relationship. However, they hid it not only from the media.

Gabriela Kownacka gained the greatest sympathy thanks to the series “Foster Family”. Krzysztof Janczar, in turn, gained popularity thanks to the role of Paweł in the series “Civil War”, although he almost didn’t get the job. All because of the intervention of his father, the famous actor Tadeusz Janczar, who approached Jerzy Gruza and outright forbade him from engaging his son. Krzysztof Janczar did not have his father’s surname at that time, so after auditions he got the role. While studying at the Łódź Film School, he met Janina, a ballet and choreography teacher. As a result, the actor’s son was born, but the couple did not get married.

Gabriela Kownacka and Krzysztof Janczar met in the theater. It was then that he fell in love with the actress

Janczar found employment at the National Theater in Warsaw. It was there that he got to know Gabriela Kownacka, whom he had already seen briefly at acting events. The actress’s husband, Waldemar Kownacki, also performed in the theater. It was then that Janczar in Kownacka had no memory. The actress has already enjoyed considerable recognition, including: thanks to the series “Halo, Szpicbródka”, after which many men sought her favor. – When she entered the room, the guys literally fainted. They were disappearing. They weren’t there. I witnessed such a scene once. Then I learned what sex appeal means – Ewa Dałkowska in Roman Dziewoński’s book.

In 1975, Gabriela married Waldemar Kownacki. In 1983, their son, Franciszek, was born. Janczar, still sighing for his friend from the theater, was in the United States at that time. Just before his departure, in 1981, they starred together in the film “Quiet Years”. Kownacka then firmly rejected Janczar’s advances. The actor in the USA still performed, but he was also a bartender, a construction worker, and even repaired computers. He returned to Poland, already a divorcee, in the 1990s. Kownacka was also married.

They met again in the 1990s. “She held out her hand to me and said: come on.”

In the mid-1990s, the actors met during one of the events at the Mały Theater. – She held out her hand to me and said: come on, let’s go for a walk and maybe have a coffee – Krzysztof Janczar years later. – We have marched hand in hand for several years – he added. The couple hid their relationship for four years. They eventually broke up but remained friends. In 2006, Janczar and Kownacka met again on the set of the film “Two Sides of a Medal”. Then their paths diverged. Gabriela Kownacka died on November 30, 2010. Six years earlier, she found out she had breast cancer. – I will never forget her – some time after the death of my former lover.
