Transformation
The popular fairy tale About Princess Jasněnka and the Flying Shoemaker with Michaela Kuklova in the lead role will appear on TV screens again. The likeable actress as Princess Jasněnka has probably not aged a year since filming, but fate has not been too kind to her. Michaela is still fighting breast cancer.
An incredible 39 years have passed since the filming of the popular fairy tale About Princess Jasněnka and the Flying Shoemaker. The film, which is still loved by viewers across generations and which had its premiere in 1987, can be remembered again during the Easter holidays, when TV Prima broadcasts it.
Michaela Kuklová as Jasněnka has hardly aged
The main role, the character of the charming princess Jasněnka, in the cult fairy tale was perfectly played by the actress Michaela Kuklová, who has hardly aged at all since the filming. From the premiere About Princess Jasněnka and the Flying Shoemaker but something has changed after all. For example, Kuklová became a mother when in 2012 she gave birth to her son Roman together with her now ex-partner Roman Holomek. However, not all events in her life were so joyful. Michaela has been battling breast cancer for the past few years.
She took the cruel diagnosis bravely for the sake of her son
“I’m still in treatment, but I basically see it as a kind of treatment,” the actress said last fall in an interview with eXtra.cz, recalling the moment when the doctors told her the cruel diagnosis. She took the verdict very bravely. “My brain didn’t accept the possibility that I wouldn’t be able to handle it with that little baby,” said Kuklová at the time.
“It’s just that losing his mom can’t happen to him, because because his dad is in Moravia, he grew up only with me, he’s in my care, and yet he connected with me in a different way. He was terribly connected to me the whole time and I was his closest confidant,” she explained to eXtra.cz.
