The later Tonička from the film Básník was looking forward to a big serial role after Chalupářy, where she played a more or less episodic character of a mother. But the top leadership of the then ruling Communist Party decided otherwise!
Dietl he was angry
“My husband dreamed of playing the role of a mother with two children who works in delicatessens, Jan Hlaváčová. He wrote it for her. But an order came from the highest places that he had to play it Broke. She was a great actress, but she wasn’t right for the character. Nothing could be done…” writes the widow of a brilliant screenwriter in the book The Woman Behind the Counter Magdalena Dietlová (79).
Jana Hlaváčová (†85) has died: the first lady of the National Theater for 30 years
“I remember him being terribly angry. He fell in love with the script and was really enthusiastic about writing it.” she says of her husband. And since nothing was ever hidden here, already at the time of the broadcast, rumors spread among people that Hlaváčová was to play the main role. And that really hurt the woman behind the counter!
Pomsta za Antichartu
What did the popular actress deserve not to be in the series? With husband Ludik Munzar (†85) then refused to sign the so-called Anticharta. “We simply didn’t go to the National Theatre, where there were signs on the seats with the names of who should sit where. We thought we would get fired, but nothing,” Hlaváčová recalled. Although they were not fired from the National Theater, where they were both engaged, Jana lost the role of the saleswoman Anna Holubová in the twelve-part series The Woman Behind the Counter. Fortunately, the directors later made it up to her. Proof of this is the aforementioned nurse Tonička from the movie Poets.
Anticharta
He also took it away Abraham
Because of Švorcová, Josef Abrhám (†82), who was originally supposed to play Karel, the suitor of the protagonist Anna, was also recast. “According to the husband’s script, Josef Abrhám was supposed to create the romantic couple with Jana Hlaváčová. However, he did not suit Švorcová at all, and even refused to play with her. And so he was recast Petr Haničinec. The brave Jana simply shuffled the cards nicely,” revealed Magdalena Dietlová.
What was the Anticharta
The so-called Anticharta (officially For new creative acts in the name of socialism and peace) was a signature campaign organized by the communist ruling power as a negative reaction to the declaration of Charter 77. On January 28, personalities of cultural life were invited to the National Theatre. It was Švorcová who delivered the call expressing loyalty to the communist regime with her own fervor.
