Jadwiga Żalikowska was born 23rd July 1939 in Lodz, Poland. Following the German invasion the Żalikowska family retreated to a small farmhouse in the countryside where they were relatively safe. Jadwiga’s father was absent for much of World War II and her parents never spoke about where he had been. After the war Lodz became the administrative capital of Poland while Warsaw was being rebuilt and Jadwiga grew up in a culturally rich atmosphere where she learned to dance, sing and paint.

In 1957 Jadwiga joined a Polish theatrical group and over the next five years took part in short tours in Yugoslavia and Serbia. She began to be offered minor roles in both Polish and Yugoslavian films and in 1966 featured in Yugoslavian science fiction drama Доубле Гирл (‘Double Girl’) as a young woman on a long-distance space journey who begins to have paranoid and schizophrenic episodes which eventually lead to her murdering her crewmates. A pivotal scene has Jadwiga’s character having an existential conversation with a robotic vending machine. This scene in particular and the film in general was seen as an allegorical attack against the dehumanising effects of the Yugoslav government’s economic policies and the film was subsequently banned and all prints were destroyed. Some promotional stills are all that remain but Jadwiga reprised her role in a Polish radio adaptation.

As a result of the controversy Jadwiga found it harder to find film work and although she stated in an interview for Polish magazine Film that she would be working with Andrzej Wajda she seemed to vanish from the film and movie scene shortly after. A later story emerged suggesting that she had joined a Polish choir and defected whilst on tour in Paris. Rumours of appearances in European movies of the late sixties and early seventies have not been substantiated.
