Quick Story From Polish History #2 - Jan Himilsbach

Little bit of history

Once upon a time there was in Warsaw non-professional (but really amazing) actor and writer – Jan Himilsbach. As I told you in previous article, nearly every artist in Poland was addicted to drinking alcohol. Himilsbach wasn’t an exception. He’s biography isn’t quite sure because of messed up information and because of artist himself. He gave over 700 interviews and every time he was speaking the same story he was adding new details and threads. When one of journalists asked him about this, he reply “How many times, you can tell the same over and over again”.

Here’s one of the most famous stories about this man. “ Once upon a time into SPATIF (Polish Artists of Theatre and Film Association) drunk Himilsbach walks in and shouted very loudly - “Intelligence get the fuck out of here!”. Everybody got speechless and just sat there keeping stare at him when Gustaw Holoubek (an actor) suddenly got up and said “I don’t know like you Mr. and Mrs. but I’m getting the fuck out of here”.

Another time he was lying down – of course drunk – in some bushes. Passing by granny with a girl in high school age said to her “ You see? You have to study or you will end up like him”. “But granny!” – girl protested – “It’s our actor and writer – Janek Himilsbach!”. After this he opened his eye, croaked “Are you feeling stupid right now, you stupid cunt?” and fall asleep again. What’s really interesting we don’t know precise date of death this great actor because of fact that he died during multipledays libation.
