Mirdza herself did not really feel her finest hour. Big fees were not due to her. For one shooting day, the actress had a bid of only twelve rubles, while the famous Viya Artmane received fifty. But this didn’t really bother Martinsone - she was young, she was surrounded by wonderful actors, and therefore she felt happy.
Naked Facts
Fame and glory always have a downside. So, Mirdza Martinsone, receiving great love from fans, sometimes found in her inboxes not very pleasant confessions. For example, one man of Georgian nationality threatened to kill a girl, and then himself, in case she did not reciprocate. And the newly-born Novosibirsk fan signed his works on higher mathematics in the name of the actress and sent them as a gift.
Playing in the film "Mirage", Mirdze had to appear in the frame naked. For this scene in those days she got a lot. Many Latvian teachers wrote to the actress full of indignation letters, which spoke about the morality of Soviet women. And the husband was not enthusiastic about such a scene.
