Anna Tomaszewska

As I write these words, it's been exactly 45 years since I became an actress. It was 45 years ago that I became a graduate of the Krakow Theatre Academy. An actor is a peculiar profession. It’s a profession you need to enjoy. You can’t just go to work. And yet there is also life. And in this life, I’ve given birth to two daughters. They are both actresses, which also means something. I was wondering what impressed me in this profession. And I think I know now. Unpredictability. Each role brings something new. A meeting with each new director brings new quality. That’s why I still enjoy acting after 45 years.
