“If I had known that Mr. Abrham is in the Angel of the Lord 2 for the last time in front of a film camera – Being the director who is at the end of such a stellar acting career is not a pleasant feeling at all. I’d rather make another ten or twenty more movies! But there was no power left and the Lord could not be defeated. And so the sky today has one extra St. Joseph. He no longer has antlers painted with chalk above his head, but the crown of acting and human glory. AND beloved Cinderella again with her“Recalled director Jiří Strach on the social network.

“Josef Abrhám was the creator who most significantly influenced the form of acting in Czech theater and in the wider European context. Each performance was primarily a meeting with Josef Abrhám as a personality who has a strong relationship with the world, “Jan Burian, General Director of the National Theater, told Práva.

“His theatrical characters have always been an authentic and true expression of Abrham as a man and an artist. This revolutionary way of acting is still used in Czech theater in the 1960s, and the Dejvický Theater ensemble is one of its important successors. Josef Abrhám was an extremely popular artist who did not lose himself on the boulevard and maintained his own artistic and moral integrity throughout his career. That is also why he was one of Václav Havel’s most popular actors, “he added.

“There are times when it’s hard to say. When an exceptional and in this case a close person leaves … I really regret it and think of his family, grandchildren and all loved ones. I will be sad for him and I think he will miss him terribly here, “actor and director of the Na Jezerce Theater Jan Hrušínský told ČTK.

He added that until recently, Abrham and Saffron played with him in videos from the recording of Bogard and Bergman in the play Play It Again, Sam. “It simply came to our notice then. In the end, in honor of Líba (Šafránková), I decided that we would end the performance. It was very popular and could be played for several more years, but it already seemed inappropriate to me. We will always have them both in front of our eyes, “he said.

“They were an inseparable couple flying with Libuška for years, and I had the opportunity to make the film All My Loved Ones with them. It was an unforgettable shooting, they were very funny and Mr. Abrham was incredible, “said actress Tereza Brodská. They also befriended Brodská’s husband, photographer Herbert Slavík, they met and he took pictures of them several times.
–
“Mr. Abrham was always present when Libuška herself was photographed, and he diversified her photography. It was cute. So now they are together and maybe it’s probably right, because I think he suffered a lot with her leaving, “added Brodská.
