Czech actress Eva Jiroušková († 83) she had dozens of great roles in film and theater, but she didn’t have it easy in her private life, she writes.
She stood before the altar twice, but her marriages did not last and she did not even have children. In the autumn of her life, she was troubled by serious health problems. She overcame several strokes, after which she had to rely on the help of others.
As far as possible, her sister took care of her, and later she was placed in a nursing home. Jiroušková died there on January 8, 2015, and death was a release for her. “She was a golden, flawless woman. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a very nice fate,” said fellow actress Jaroslava Obermaierová.
