She was a fresh graduate of the Kraków Theatre School when she made her debut in 1981 in the cult crime comedy “Vabank” by Juliusz Machulski. She later appeared in many excellent productions by this director, including the series “Mothers, Wives and Lovers”, which brought her the greatest popularity and adoration from viewers.
What is Elżbieta Zającówna suffering from? The actress has been struggling with an incurable disease since childhood
Few people know that Zającówna never really wanted to conquer the world of cinema. As a child, she dreamed of a career as an athlete, but her plans fell through when doctors diagnosed her with von Willebrand’s disease, which is characterized by problems with blood clotting. It was then that she began to think seriously about acting, which turned out to be a bull’s-eye. Her first roles brought her not only fame and recognition, but also guaranteed her an unshakable position in the industry. Her professional successes also went hand in hand with happiness in her private life, as she married director and screenwriter Krzysztof Jaroszyński, with whom she had a daughter, Gabriela.
This is her last role on screen. What is Elżbieta Zającówna doing now?
Although the disease did not make itself known for years, over time the actress began to experience troublesome ailments. At that time, she decided to limit her professional activity, and finally in 2008, after a role in the series “Na kotią łapę”, she withdrew from the industry completely and put her career on hold. – When I became seriously ill, I understood what was most important in life. My approach to my profession changed. I told myself that I would not die on stage – she announced in an interview for “Viva”.
Since then, she has not appeared on screen or on the stage. She made an exception only 4 years ago, when she took on a role in the comedy “Szczęści chodzi parami”, with whom she remained on friendly terms privately. – It seems that we spent the last days of filming in his life together – she said after the death of the actor and director. In turn, her last public appearance was at the end of 2022, participating in an event organized to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the artistic activity of the Rampa Quartet. After ending her career, she was for some time vice-president of the Polsat Foundation, and currently runs a production company, which she called “Gabi”. If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
