Beata Tyszkiewicz was born on August 14, 1938 in Vilanovo. She became a Polish and Soviet actress, screenwriter and writer. The popularity of Beata Tyszkiewicz reached its climax in the 1970s, when the whole USSR knew her face.
A family
A woman comes from a noble influential family. By the father of Beat Tyszkiewicz - the countess, and by mother - the princess. Her father's name was Krzysztof Tyszkiewicz, he was a descendant of the ancient family Leliva from Vilnius. Mother was called Barbara Rekhovich, she belonged to the family of the Grand Dukes Potocki. Among her ancestors was the Polish king Jozef Poniatowski.
War
When the Second World War began, Beata Tyszkiewicz lived with Prince Radziwill, and then moved to Krakow. For some time she happened to live in a monastery, where she went to school. When the war ended, the whole family moved to Warsaw, and his father emigrated to the UK, where he started a separate family. Beata's mother raised two children herself.
The family went through hard times, wore castoffs, went hungry and froze. Nevertheless, the future Polish actress Beata Tyszkiewicz studied at the special school Zhmihovskaya, which was prestigious. She was raised by one mother who, with humility, made her daughter's decisions to be a tractor driver, then a ballerina, and then a veterinarian.
The beginning of the way
Beata Tyszkiewicz did not represent herself as an actress in her youth, she did not even think about this profession. But as a result of one case, a talent for acting was revealed in her. The thing is that once the director noticed the schoolgirl and invited the 16-year-old girl to star in the main role in the film "Revenge". Beaty actress Beata Tyszkiewicz was very effective. Her first role was brilliantly performed.
And her creative path continued. She became very famous after her role in the film "First Day of Freedom." In the film, Beata Tyszkiewicz played the German Inga Rode, who was raped after the defeat of Nazi Germany in the war. Her name thundered throughout the country.
In the biography of Beata Tyszkiewicz, personal life played an important role. She married Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wyd, who shot her in his works.
The film with Beata Tyszkiewicz “Marysya and Napoleon”, which was successfully released in the USSR, became curious. In it, the actress appeared as Napoleon's beloved Maria Walewski and Marysey, a modern student from Warsaw.
The subsequent filmography of Beata Tyszkiewicz also added fame. She was remembered for her role as Evelina in Balzac's Great Love and Isabella in Kukla. She collaborated with many directors, including world-class.
Often she went to shoot in Europe. And in the USSR she became famous for her role in the film "The Noble Nest" directed by Andrei Konchalovsky.
IN USSR
In the Soviet Union, the Polka made friends with the Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky family, she was called the “Geek”. Translated from Polish, "freak" means "beautiful."
Now she is 80 years old, but once her naked body, captured in the shots of a movie, turned the mind of a patriarchal society in a number of countries, drove the directors crazy.
Excited all the photos of Beata Tyszkiewicz in his youth. In the photo that has survived to this day, an extravagant and impressive girl. Thanks to her charisma and beauty, she became a real diva of the Soviet Union.
As she herself said, Beata became a woman and actress at a time. In the 60s, she came to the presentation of the book by Sergei Mikhalkov, "Uncle Styopa." At that time, Tyszkiewicz was already known to everyone. Then she first met with a representative of the Mikhalkov family, and friendship was established between them.
She always met with Mikhalkov when they happened to be in the same city. Beata always loved gifts and did not try to hide it. She made a condition for every boyfriend who sought a meeting with her: she would see him when he bought her something valuable.
Sable
This also applied to members of the Mikhalkov family. Once, Sergey went with her to a fur factory, where he bought her chic sables. Later it was they who saved the actress, once she began to need money.
Andrei Konchalovsky invited the girl to shoot the Noble Nest, as well as to the Mikhalkov family estate, on Nikolina Gora, where she became a frequent guest. She warmly recalls that time.
In her biography, Beata Tyshkevich notes that Natalya Petrovna, mother of Konchalovsky, was an excellent hostess. The Beatu family fell in love. “Geek,” she said, she was called because she didn’t act like everyone else. For example, she refused to swim in cold water.
While working on the Noble Nest, Natalya Petrovna herself put on her own family jewels.
The story of the cup
Tyszkiewicz spoke about relations with Andrei. It was a keen and impulsive nature. Looking at the photo of actress Beata Tyszkiewicz, you can understand why he acted in this way. Once she came to Nikolina Mountain and saw how the movers take out the old Andrey's piano from the house.
This was done because of Andrey’s decision to give Beate something valuable, but he had no money for it. But when he sold a valuable instrument, the couple went through all the jewelry stores, looking for a ring with a pearl, but did not find it. Nevertheless, the gift was made: this is the bowl of the Kuznetsov porcelain factory in the form of a flower. To this day, Beata Tyszkiewicz keeps Andrey’s photo with a bowl and a bundle of his letters.
The Spit
When filming The Noble Nest, the polka was supposed to cry, but the scene could not be captured. Then Andrey removed everyone from the court and hit Beata in the face. From a blow, she was dizzy, she got angry and left. When he returned the tear-stained Tyszkiewicz, the scene was filmed. However, the relationship between them was forever ruined. Later, the actress refused Konchalovsky to his invitation to go with him to a restaurant.
Andrei was offended and did not greet Beata at a large event later. Nevertheless, Tyszkiewicz herself warmly recalls the whole family.
Further development
In the 1970s, Beata got married for the third time and lives in France, where she starred in a number of films. As an actress from the series, Beatu Tyszkiewicz will be recognized there as well. In the 1980s, she again lives in Poland, playing supporting roles. And in 2001, the Ptashuk film "In August of the 44th ..." was released.
In 2006, Beatu was awarded a gold medal named after S. F. Bondarchuk at the Golden Knight Film Forum for his contribution to world cinema.
Presently
And in 2014, she starred in the Russian melodrama "Martha Line". Now she writes her articles, participates in TV shows. Publishes Beata Tyszkiewicz and photos in whole albums.
She also has 3 daughters.
Personal life
Tyszkiewicz got married 3 times. The first husband was Andrzej Wajda, director. They met on the set. They were connected by creativity, in which feelings grew. He was a recognized director, and everyone around was just waiting for the famous actress to officially announce the affair with the famous director. They became a movie pair, which was invited everywhere, from which they constantly interviewed. They became followers of the cinematic tradition begun by Federico Fellini and Juliet Mazina, Sergei Gerasimov and Tamara Makarova.
Nevertheless, as the actress notes, she was not going to "hang himself on him" or use for career growth. She did not become an actress of Wajda. They stayed together for 5 years, then they had a daughter, Carolina, who, having received a law degree, began acting in films and commercials, assisted directors. One of the main reasons for divorce, as is commonly believed, was Beata’s affair with Konchalovsky. It was a stormy passion that moved to the wedding. She noted that after him she hardly perceived other men, since he was a real storm against the background of boring partners.
But when the couple went to the shooting, Andrei signed with Natalia Arinbasarova.
Also, in the process of filming The Noble Nest, Beata began dating Valery Plotnikov. This was a 3rd year student at VGIK. He became a neighbor of Beata Tyszkiewicz on the set, as well as a friend in life for many years. They met in many cities around the world.
The second husband of Tyszkiewicz was Vitold Ozhekhovsky, who was also a director. Their marriage was short-lived, and the actress called this marriage a mistake.
Her third husband was Jacek Padlevsky, who was a French architect with Polish roots. He was the girl’s first love - they knew each other from a young age and once met, but then their roads parted.
And so they meet again and create a family. Beata recounted how he wrote poetry in her honor once, when they were 17 years old.
After graduating from the Polytechnic Institute, he moved to Paris and married the Frenchwoman Catherine. Somewhere deep in the heart of Tyszkiewicz, he stayed for a long time. She kept a pack of his letters throughout her life, and then he suddenly returned. At that moment, Padlevsky’s personal life was in a deep crisis. He divorced his wife, with whom he had two sons.
The meeting took place with their mutual friend. When they talked with Beata, Jacek went to see her off, but fell and broke his arm. Beata drove him to the hospital and visited him.
First love broke out again. She went to the shooting, and he went to France, but again came to her in Poland. Beate was 38 years old, and she again found the closest man.
In 1976, their wedding took place. Tyszkiewicz moved to France, to Marseille. There, a year later, the couple had a daughter, Victoria.
Memories
The directors have always seen in her not a socialist character, inviting them to appear in historical works as aristocrats. They say that genetic memory helped her naturally in the image of high-ranking ladies.
As the actress herself recalls, she studied in the 9th grade and was a daredevil when the director looked into her school. She was completely embarrassed at the first tests, when it was very hot from the spotlights, and she read the text. It seemed to her that instead of words, soap bubbles came out. For the first time she was answered "alas ...". And she was upset. However, Beata was soon invited a second time, where she was already less worried, and she got the role. As the actress herself says, she was very pleased to see her name in the credits.
Her full title sounds like this - Beata Maria Helena Countess Tyshkevichuvna-Kalenitskaya. For the first time her family is mentioned in documents of the XV century. The titles of counts Tyszkiewicz received from the Polish king Sigismund II Augustus in the XVI century. The estate, a magnificent old castle and museum collections were located in Kaunas, but during the First World War it was destroyed by the Lithuanians.
The girl’s mother was a beautiful, well-born Polish girl with a cheerful character, while her father was secretive and reserved. He lived according to old routines, which have survived to our times since the 19th century: a servant, a house prayer at a strictly designated time, a daily routine. The family lived in a luxurious mansion before the war.
Beata notes that to this day he remembers the roar of fascist aircraft, sirens. At night, he still sees panic in the streets during the attacks. During the war, many houses around their estates were occupied by the Germans. Beata did not touch grandpa and grandma the first time. But once a general appeared to them, impressed by the wealth of their home. He offered to buy a palace from Beata's grandmother, but she refused. After a while, the general came again. Reception took place in the armory of the mansion. The German assured that the soldiers would help with the transportation of all the precious utensils, but the woman was categorical, not fully appreciating the threat.
Already the third visit to the general was tragic. All the men at home, including Tyszkiewicz, the cook, the butler, and the husband of the maid, were shot in the yard, and the rest of the residents were given 5 minutes to gather. Beata's grandmother, having prayed, left the family estate, never having returned there again. She went to the monastery with the end of the war, and the mansion passed to the state.
The father of the actress fought in the Craiova Army (a Polish military organization that operated in Poland occupied by the Germans), and then went to England, where he started another family. Beata met him 35 years later.
The mother of the actress raised two children alone. She became the director of the boarding house in the mountains, and, having moved to Warsaw, the family lived on the modest earnings of her mother, who worked in the editorial office of the magazine.
After filming a movie, the actress began trouble at school. She had 11 deuces, including for her behavior, since in the process of working on the film she was not present at the lessons. And then her mother invited her to go to the school of the female monastic order.
There she played in the theater, playing the role of the Mother of God. Prior to the performance, they raised her marks for behavior, because the Virgin could not have fours. But she didn’t get to the certificate. Not passing the exams, the girl was disappointed, as she planned to become a veterinarian. On the advice of friends, she entered the theater school in Warsaw. And there was required a certificate.
As a result, she received it at the central police headquarters. The exams were simple: Beata knew the answers in advance. All that was needed was to rewrite them on the form.
In her first year, Beata met the famous theater critic Jan Cott. His wife did not attend the theatrical performance, and he offered her a ticket, Tyszkiewicz. When they found seats in the hall, a woman was sitting on one of them. And Beata sat on her knees to Jan.
Directly in front of them was the rector of the theater school, who called the girl on the carpet the next day, chastising her for it and driving her away. Beata confidently left, she did not linger for a minute where they did not want her.
After working on television, she began acting in films. The actress noticed a difference in the fees of western and eastern stars. So, for the popular French film, she received many times less than the actor Pierre Meyran. He received more per day than she did for the entire film. For this reason, the actor treated the rest.
Polish authorities have never allocated a lot of money to actors. And on business trips, for example, at the Cannes Film Festival, they received $ 7 a day. With such a salary, the actors were afraid when the waiter poured water - there was not enough money to pay it. There was a rule for everyone from Eastern Europe not to carry more than $ 100. Therefore, it was not only the actors who brought food from home and lived in the conditions of severe economy.
During the Khrushchev thaw, interest in the Soviet Union grew, and Tyszkiewicz often visited Moscow, where she met many stars of that era. She met Federico Fellini, Juliet Mazina and many others.
At a large-scale event, eminent guests stayed at the Moscow Hotel. World stars were shocked by the reception, but did not show. So, Tyszkiewicz watched as Fellini and Mazina waited 4 hours for their number. There were no results when they tried to find out when they would be settled.
During the dinners, the natives of the socialist countries sat at their own table, the western guests at their own, the Americans separately. It was obvious that the festival organizers were not interested in communication between these people. Nevertheless, they met at the shows or bars, discussing the latest news and getting through their friends the best gift from Russia - black caviar.
An interesting moment was noticed by the Polish actress in the viewing of “Little Big Man”. Lyubov Orlova approached her with a question about what Beata was thinking about the film. They were not acquainted, and Tyszkiewicz became pleased with the attention of the diva. She replied that the picture is excellent. But Orlova did not like the picture, the conversation ended.
Then the Minister of Culture of the USSR Ekaterina Furtseva warned Beat that she drank beer and invited to drink cognac. She claimed that those who drink brandy do not become alcoholics. The minister addressed the Poles with the words: “I know that you do not love us. But we will love you for so long, until you finally love us. ”
At the moment, the actress rarely appears in films. One of her last roles is in the movie The Righteous, where she plays the Countess, as well as the youth comedy Stodnevka in 2017. Beata herself notes that she does not need anything and receives decent fees for participating in the filming. Sometimes she does not know what to give to her daughters, since they already have everything.
