Who was Soňa Valentová?
Soňa Valentová was a Slovak actress.
She was born on July 3, 1946, in Trnava, while her two sisters perished in the Auschwitz extermination camp. The younger Emka was just four years old, while the older Vierka was ten.
Education
Soňa Valentová had artistic abilities at a young age. After completing her education at the gymnasium, she took piano lessons, took dance classes, and graduated with a degree in acting from the University of Performing Arts (VMU) in Bratislava in 1967.
She earned her degree in television directing in 1984 as well. She launched her acting career in 1967 at SND, when she made an impression playing Alison Porter in the play Look in Anger.
Her portrayal of the battered woman who was harmed by her abusive husband while also struggling to separate herself from him foreshadowed subsequent complicated dramatic roles that she expertly assumed.
Slovak National Theater
On the stage of the Slovak National Theater, Soňa Valentová played several memorable characters (SND). She created several acting personas, working closely with her husband, the filmmaker Pavlo Haspro, on several of them.
She was equally impressive on the big screen, and because of her gift for singing and movement, the endearing actress also made appearances in musicals. She showcased her talent in 15 full-length features and over 150 television productions.
Her Acting Career
In the historical drama Kladivo an charodejnice (1969), which focused on the political events of the 1950s, she made her acting debut under the direction of Otakar Vávra. She portrayed Zuzana, the chef who was persecuted by the Inquisition, in the movie.
She appeared in the television show Tma that same year, during which her husband Pavol Haspra helped to find a role for her.
On stage, she portrayed the lovely Salome in the drama Herodes and Herodias (1969–1970), and in the 1971 film Zlozor, which depicts the Middle Ages, she allowed the attractiveness of Zuzana to grow.

The production of Antigone (1971–1972), which was directed by Petr Mikulk and starred Soňa Valentová as Antigone’s sister Ismena, was extremely well-liked.
The old tale, in which the heroine chose death over a lack of freedom in action, was a mirror to Ján Palach’s uprising and the period of normalisation.
As a Singer
In the musical Na sklemaľované (1974/1975), she played the role of Death and displayed both her singing and dancing abilities.
In the biographical film Palette of Love, which is about the painter Jozef Mánes, she created the actress indřiška Slavínská two years later. Theatergoers may also recall her as Desdemona, who perished in Othello’s wrath in 1977–1978.

Early in the 1980s, she starred in the action drama Night Riders alongside Radoslav Brzobohatý and Michal Dočolomanský (1981). She performed the part of the evil stepmother in Perinbaba by Jakubiskova with conviction (1985).
1990s
Soňa Valentová appeared in the comedy Where, guys, where are you going? as the wife of the main character, played by Karel Hemánek (1987). She played Dr.Prokopová in the movie Forgotten Light and the sadistic teacher Volfová in Filip Ren’s psychological thriller Requiem for a Doll (1991).
Additionally, She had made appearances in several musicals at Bratislava’s New Stage, including Grand Hotel, which was directed by Jozef Bednárik and starred prima ballerina Gruinská, Blood Brothers, and Matka Johnstonová. She developed the humorous Mother Superior character for the popular musical Nuns (1999).
2000s
In the 2001–2002 psychological thriller Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, she played Mae. Two years later, she appeared in the production of Cabaret, directed by Jozef Bednárik, as the seasoned Miss Schneider.
She also worked with the same artist on the part of Goldy in the film Fidlikant on the roof (2007). She portrayed Lomidrevo’s mother in the fairy tale How Lomidrevo became a king on the SND stage (2014).
The Witchhammer beauty
She starred in the Otakar Vávra-directed 1969–1970 movie Witchhammer.
Of all the actors in all of Czechoslovakia at the time, it was considered that this talented woman had the most gorgeous eyes.

With role as Zuzan, the dean’s cook who fell prey to the zealous inquisitor Boblig, is what Czech fans most closely connect her with in the renowned historical drama The Hammer on the Witch from 1969.

She captivated the crowd at the moment not just with her performance but also with her willingness to pose for photos as Evina.
She also dazzled audiences in Requiem for a Doll at the beginning of the 1990s. Since 2016, she has not been spotted in the open.
Her Last Movie
She appeared in the motion pictures Cinderella, Perinbaba, Goldilocks, and The Golden Spinning Wheel.
The distinguishing quality of Valentová, in the opinion of critics, was that despite her overwhelming appeal and gorgeous face, she was able to portray even unpleasant characters perfectly.
This is particularly demonstrated by the stepmother’s role in the aforementioned Perinbaba, which she famously and convincingly played. She portrayed the antagonist, but she still won over the fans with her performance. She was also not new to theatre message boards—quite the reverse.
She was also successful in landing a part in the most well-known musical, On the Painted Glass.
After her final acting performance in 2010, she decided to take a break from what had been both her career and her greatest passion.
Awards
For her performances, the actress received numerous honors.

For instance, she was given the Janko Borodáč Award in 1969, the Golden Crocodile TV Award in 1975, the Meritorious Artist title in 1988, and one of the highest state decorations, the Order of Ludovít Štúr II class for cultural contribution, in 2006.
Her Autobiography
Soňa Valentová, a leading actress in both theatre and film, wrote the autobiographical book Fly over Life (2010).
In it, she spoke candidly and openly about her upbringing, her most memorable performing performances, and her marriage to the magnetic director Pavlo Haspro.
Her Final Days
According to reports, the iconic actress experienced an abrupt vascular incident in March 2016 that impacted the left side of her body.
Although the occurrence did not affect the artist’s voice or memory, the bodily effects meant that she was unable to walk.
Soňa Valentová never performed again, and she spent her final years at a Petralka social service facility.

My sincere condolences to Katka Hasprova and the surviving family.”

“Paní Herečka Soňa…. Requiem pro panenku.. snad nejlepší záporačka tuzemského filmu…R.I.P.”
One of the worst things anyone can go through in life is losing a loved one. Any journey must have a destination at the end. The person’s time on earth has regrettably come to an end now that they have died.
We wish her eternal peace and send our thoughts and prayers to her loved ones, family, friends. May she rest in peace.
