Kultura

With over 1,000 roles in his relatively short life, Vladimir Mensik was one of the country's most celebrated actors and entertainers. He performed on stage, in films, fairy tales, serials, sketches, and one-man shows. In fact, he was the first to introduce a form of stand-up comedy to the nation. A new book that has just hit the shelves takes a closer look at the man that Vladimir Mensik was. Through testimony from his relatives and some forty actors who worked with him, author Jolana Matejkova takes a fresh look at the man who always met people with a smile though rarely felt like laughing himself...
