Biography

1942-60: Early life and education

Božidara Turzonovová is a daughter of a female

SME she said: "For me 'partnering stuff' has always been a problem in acting, especially when I was yet a student."[15]

1961-69: Career beginnings and the National Theater

"I don't want to mentor here but even word has a sound content energy, that's all about energies. And when a performance turns out well, if there's my energy, an energy of fellows, an energy of the director who put his effort into it, then there's one great synergy which circulates, and after it circulates backwards. And that's the atmosphere in theater, that's what makes audiences laugh, moves them to tears or completely hushes them up, so they will hold their breath. And those are the moments that I love, and which I will never accomplish on any TV, in any series and in any film – only on stage."[16]
