Today Svatopluk Benes (89 years old) passed away , one of the most famous czech actors of this century. He started his acting carreer during the First Republic alongside some legends such as Adina Mandlova and Lida Barova. However his greatest debuts were his parts in Dobry vojak Svejk and Dedecek automobil.
Benes byl rozhodne z mych nejoblibenejsich hercu meho detstvi. Vzdycky vypadal jako fesak; vlasy uhlazene, kosile nazehlena, boty nabliskane….vite, ze hral po boku krasavic jako Adina Mandlova, Lida Baarova nebo Natasa Gollova??? Nejvice se ale asi proslavil ve filmech Dedecek automobil a Dobry vojak Svejk. Jelikoz umrel v 89ti letech tak me utesuje, ze mel alespon dlouhy – a doufejme ze spokojeny- zivot…
