VIDEO She greeted him “Hello!” And he called her Adyko. Their marriage was considered one of the happiest in Slovak show business, but passionate love never dominated their relationship. Everyone rode their dorms and they didn’t even see each other very often. (Continued from Wednesday, July 20.)
After returning from Brno to the Slovak capital in 1972, Milan Lasica and Júlia Satinský basically hid in the ensemble of the New Stage for some time, because they were under undue supervision as undesirable elements. Their lyrics were constantly banned, the regime made their lives miserable in every possible way. It was not until the end of the 1970s that Slovak television began filming the cabaret show Ktosi je za dveri. The soul of the show was the duo L + S, who wrote the screenplay and invited the musician Jaroslav Filip. A number of Slovak and Czech actors gradually took on the roles of guests, and the show was one of the best that the screen could offer at that time.

Wedding Clips
Milan Lasica met his lifelong love when she was only ten years old. At that time, he revolved around her older sister Emilie Vášáryová and became one of a long line of suitors who applied for the extraordinary beauty. Among them were, among others, Ladislav Chudík, the future Dr. Sova from the Hospital on the outskirts of the city, and Ivan Rajniak, an adored representative of positive heroes and tough guys. But everyone was unlucky. Milan then had to wait twenty years for Magda. They married in 1980 during the filming of Jiří Menzel Postřižina’s legendary comedy, when she was already expecting her daughter Hana, and soon after, the younger Žofie was born. However, their third pregnancy brought them great suffering, and their son, whom they both longed for, was born prematurely and died a few days later. In the end, they settled the unexpected tragedy together and brought it even closer.

Two-career marriage
The popular Slovak couple had well-defined topics that they talked about. The daughters were in the first place, and the work schedule was a common area of interest. Then there was politics and, of course, food – who, when and where to eat. “We have to agree on whether to weld or not,” Magda, who considers herself a good, fast and extremely flexible cookbook, did not hide another common interest in an interview for the revue.idnes.cz server. How is it possible that such a limited common content of life could last so long? Supposedly because they didn’t even have to deal with many things together. “We play a big role in our two-career marriage. We see ourselves very little. I teach in Prague, and when I get home, he has a show. It’s such a cycle, so we don’t have time to deal with nonsense that keeps the world from collapsing, but only important things. And believe me, it’s an advantage, “Magda added.
Before you leave:
The only common interest
“We have two separate offices in the apartment, each with its own television and library. This significantly reduces the space for conflict and the lack of private space. Sometimes we even call on a cell phone. We never had, and of course we won’t have common interests again, we can’t even sit down to watch TV together, because everyone is watching something other than the other. I news on foreign channels BBC and CNN and my husband loves movies. It is true that we lead parallel lives, but the important thing is that we have a great family, “stressed Vášáryová, and Lasica agreed with this statement. “When I ever lost the election, Milan was pleased. According to that, I think he prefers movies in the peace of his study and a hot dinner from me, “added Magda. He valued his wife the most by keeping his family together. “She is very important in our family,” he added. “I admire it and I will probably never understand where it takes so much energy. After all, she does not give up under any circumstances. “

Abandoned forever
In 1982, Studio Š was established, in 1999 renamed Studio L + S, in which Lasica worked as artistic director. Gradually, he also began guesting as an actor and director in Czech theaters, for example, after 1990, he directed Vian’s Head of Medusa in Ypsilonka and played in the Drama Club under the direction of Jiří Menzel, Count Almaviva in Figaro’s Wedding. In recent years, he has also worked at the Bolek Polívka Theater. In a pair with Satinský, he continued in the tradition of auteur theater, to which he brought humor, nobility and gentle social criticism. Thanks to this, he fell for the second time in the disfavor of the powerful even in the 1990s, during the time of swordsmanship, together with the satirist Milan Markovic. On the Christmas holidays of 2002, he was greatly affected by the death of a life friend and creative partner, Julius Satinsky, who never stopped missing him. In addition to acting and directing, he also became a prominent singer, composer and lyricist, never hiding the fact that he is fascinated by writing lyrics and contemporary music. He also wrote songs for Hana Hegerová and Peter Lipa, for example, and not only did he like to sing with him. He wrote a large number of lyrics, sang two albums of old evergreens with the Bratislava Hot Serenaders and released an album with singer Richard Müller.

The last applause of standing
Six years ago, he suffered from serious health problems, which were probably the result of extreme stress in previous months. He performed at Studio L + S, recorded a regular radio program, gave concerts, moderated events, participated in the organization of the ArtFilm festival, and also shot the film How We Played the Line, in which he played one of the main roles. To this were added worries at home when his son-in-law crashed on a motorcycle and it was a question of whether he would still be able to walk at all. One October evening, his chest suddenly began to ache, a cardiac arrhythmia was added, and Magda called an ambulance. Doctors from the Bratislava National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases had to undergo a triple bypass, which ensures a sufficient blood supply to the heart, and thanks to that Milan Lasica left the hospital again two weeks later. He almost resigned from his film career, but continued to work in the theater, and mainly performed with the orchestra. And then on Sunday, July 18, 2021, came a fateful concert to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Bratislava Hot Serenaders Orchestra. Milan Lasica sang the last song Ja som optimista, he collapsed during the thank you note and it was no longer possible to revive him. Three days later, his family and closest friends said goodbye to the extraordinary master of humor and satire.
I am an optimist:
