Born on July 14, 1958, in Kraków, Zającówna began her artistic journey at a young age. After graduating from the National Academy of Dramatic Art in Kraków in 1981, she made her stage debut in the musical "Cabaretro." That same year, she captured hearts on the big screen with her role in "Vabank," showcasing her talent alongside some of the finest artists of her time. Her career blossomed through the 1980s and 90s, with significant roles that established her as a household name in Poland.
Among her most memorable performances was that of Hanka in the popular television series "Matki, żony i kochanki." The show's success catapulted her into stardom, yet it also brought challenges. Overwhelmed by the sudden fame and loss of privacy, Zającówna gradually stepped back from the limelight, focusing on charitable work and her personal life. She became the vice president of the Polsat Foundation in 2010, dedicating herself to helping those in need.
After several years away from television, Zającówna made a return in 2017 with a guest appearance in "Na dobre i na złe," and later featured in "Mały zgon," where she once again showcased her acting prowess. Her last known role was in the romantic comedy "Szczęścia chodzą parami," where she played a mother character, highlighting her ability to adapt and evolve throughout her career.
Zającówna's personal life was as rich as her professional one. She was married to Krzysztof Jaroszyński, a well-known director and writer, with whom she shared a daughter, Gabriela. Elżbieta’s resilience was evident, especially after battling a serious illness. "When I became seriously ill, I understood what was most important in life," she remarked in an interview, illustrating her profound perspective on health and happiness.
As we bid farewell to Elżbieta Zającówna, we remember not only her significant contributions to Polish cinema but also the warmth and laughter she brought to all. Her legacy will live on through her work and the countless lives she touched throughout her career. "Goodbye, Elu," the community says, honoring her memory and celebrating the joy she spread. The loss of such a vibrant soul leaves a void in the hearts of many, but her spirit will continue to inspire generations to come.
