Early Life and Beginnings
She never aspired to become a star around the world.Simultaneously occurring, she was very stunning and talented, but she probably didn’t have the right personality. Karolina Slunéčková (†49) herself claimed that she was sometimes too direct and spontaneous,when she didn’t like something or someone,she was able to show it right away: “I perceive the world with my heart,so sometimes I stuff my mouth. Only then do I realize that there is reason too,” she evaluated herself.

I was wearing a checkered suit, a yellow t-shirt, a terribly long skirt, and a small suitcase with food, knitting, a book and a purse in it…I remember very well the moment when the train was leaving and my sweet mom and dad were standing on the platform.His cap was pulled down deep on his forehead, perhaps so that his tears could not be seen…” In addition to studying acting, she also managed to graduate from a pedagogical high school in the south of Bohemia, but after matriculation, she headed to Prague’s DAMU.
