The legendary Czech actress Iva Janžurová had her 85th birthday on Tuesday, May 19. She celebrated her jubilee on the stage of the National Theater in Prague. Shortly before her birthday, she struggled with an unpleasant virus, for which she canceled the tour show.
The still active actress does not take her health lightly and underwent a thorough medical examination under the supervision of the well-known Czech cardiologist Petr Neužil. “I was in the hospital, my knees are still shaking,” admitted the jubilant after the performance in the theater for the web. Don’t forget that the artist underwent heart valve surgery in 2016, exactly ten years ago. Fortunately, this important organ is fine.
Three days after her birthday celebration, an ambulance took her directly to the Prague Hospital on Homolce. She has already been released from the hospital. “She could have been hospitalized longer, but she wanted to go home. But he must be at peace and he must have the opportunity to finish his treatment.” noted cardiologist Petr Neužil for the website. As he further stated for the daily, pneumonia is mainly responsible for her condition. This is not the first time that the actress’ health has been troubled in this way. For the same reason, Janžurová also canceled performances in 2023.
The popular actress continues to cancel her participation in various events. She was supposed to appear most recently on June 13 at an event with moderator Aleš Cibulko. “Ms. Iva is now recovering and is in a period of convalescence. However, Professor Petr Neužil is concerned that meeting a large number of people so soon after recovery could pose an unnecessary health risk for Ms. Iva.” stated Cibulka on the social network.
