Czech actress Jana Dítětová († 65) she didn’t have it easy in her life. Viewers can remember her especially as the grandmother from the film How to Pull a Chair Out of a Whale or Anna Máchalová in the fairy tale There are no jokes with devils. As her colleague Rudolf Hrušínský said, she had to go for it twice when giving out talent, but she never became a great actress, writes .
The partners she chose are also probably to blame for her unfulfilled potential. She first walked down the aisle after World War II and married her husband she married director and screenwriter Vladimír Vlček († 58). He was a staunch communist and constantly pushed “red propaganda” into her head. It was an even bigger shock for everyone when in 1968 he emigrated to France.
After Vlček, she married a colleague Josef Vinklář († 76) and in 1955 their son Jakub was born. But even this marriage did not last long. After three years, Vinklář once left the apartment wearing only slippers and never returned. Despite this, they remained friends.
They say that everything is good until the third, but in her case it was not true. Dítětová’s next man of fate was the Russian violinist David Ojstrach († 66)who went to Prague to give concerts. She corresponded with the artist for a long time, but they had to hide in hotels because he was married. His death on a concert tour in 1974 in Amsterdam later affected her greatly.
He entered her life a year before the Soviet occupation American psychiatrist of Czech origin Stanislav Grof (94) and it seemed that she would finally find happiness with him. But in the same year he received a scholarship in the USA and never returned. The actress was left alone again.
Not long after that, he fell in love with her the Dutch historian and publisher Hans Roty, to whom she went to his homeland with her 13-year-old son. He offered her everything. The wedding, the opportunity to stay in the Netherlands, she even got pregnant with him. However, she could not give up the theater and her home. So Hans was willing to move in with her. It didn’t work out. Warsaw Pact troops arrived on the territory of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 and that was the end.
Dítětová decided to have an abortion, and she didn’t even get a role in the movie Žart, which caused her to lose her job for several years. In protest, she resigned from the Communist Party and was “persona non grata” from it.
As the years went by, she sought solace at the bottom of a glass, but no one ever saw her drunk. Health problems were also added, which were not few – hip pain, periodontitis and cataracts. She lost her teeth due to periodontitis, and the doctors overlooked that she also had a tumor in her mouth. At the beginning of November 1991, she died at a dental clinic in Prague from cancer of the larynx.
