Líba Šafránková: Behind the Scenes of a czech Icon
Pavel Trávníček, a fellow actor who worked alongside the late Líba Šafránková in Czech fairytale classics like “Popelka” (Cinderella) and “Třetí princ” (The Third Prince), recently shared heartwarming memories and poignant insights into the beloved actress’s character. He recalled Šafránková’s surprising reluctance towards fame,despite being deeply adored by fans. “I told her, ’Come with me, you’re more famous than Elvis presley,’ but she didn’t want to. She was a fragile soul. She just didn’t like popularity, and when I told her how much people liked her, she was like, ‘After all, they see me when they play it, so why would I go somewhere?'” Trávníček reminisced. Trávníček emphasized Šafránková’s private nature, describing her as a “mysterious person” who didn’t reveal much about herself. “She didn’t talk much. But her eyes said almost everything. She was extremely brave, who would say that to her?” he added, highlighting her remarkable strength and resilience. He vividly remembered her dedication during the challenging winter filming of “Třetí princ” when she fearlessly rode horseback through the snow. “She endured it,” Trávníček recalled,emphasizing her unwavering spirit.
Filming for the new Cinderella movie wasn’t without its share of drama. production was temporarily halted at the Jandák Chapel in Božskous after a dispute with the chapel’s owner.
The disagreement arose over the placement of a large gilded set piece that was deemed unsuitable for the historic chapel. This led to a standoff between the production team and the chapel owner, momentarily bringing filming to a standstill.
Although no further details were released about the nature of the disagreement or how it was ultimately resolved, the incident highlights the potential challenges filmmakers face when shooting in historically sensitive locations.
The production crew later moved on to other filming locations, and it’s expected that the fairytale film will continue shooting as scheduled.
