Life

Karolina Slunéčková was born on 8 April 1934 in Kladno. She moved with her parents to Ústí nad Labem. During the German occupation of the Sudetenland, they were not able to emigrate, so throughout the war they went to the German school.

The essence of the acting was handed over by Professor Věra Petáková. When her love and passion for playing did not calm down during the years and her dream was not able to talk to her, she went to study in České Budějovice, where she studied at Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts (DAMU).

In 1956, immediately after the end of DAMU, she got an engagement at the Vinohrady Theatre

Karolina met future husband Rudolf Vodrážka while still at school. After a few years they married and in 1960 their son Rudolf was born.
