Colleagues don’t spare pretty words
After the tv3.lt news portal had previously contacted Gražina Balandytė’s close colleague actress Larisa Kalpokaitė, the woman did not hide that this news was extremely painful for her.
“In my head, she was one of the brightest people I ever met. She never hung her troubles on others, she always looked at herself and her place on this earth with humor. He loved his family incessantly, ”says L. Kalpokaitė.
The actress remembers that G. Balandytė did not give her good professional advice, for which she is extremely grateful:
“She was an extremely beautiful woman. It wasn’t as much physical beauty as it radiated from within. When we first met, mainly in Palanga, she was always in the mood. I remember that I invited her to a concert, she saw that she was already tired, maybe she didn’t want to go, but she came, we sat behind him, we talked.
She gave me a lot of good advice. Too bad my health, he gave good professional advice. I am grateful to him for being in my life “, – actress L. Kalpokaitė remembers her colleague with sensitivity.
Actress Nijolė Narmontaitė, who says that G. Balandytė associates her with joy in the first place, does not spare warm words not only for a colleague on stage, but also for a good friend in real life.
“First of all, Lithuania has lost its joy. Lost man – joy. Definitely, many colors will fall in this life because that person, so much joy that overflows with joy in my life, has not been accepted. Personally, I lost a very good Friend, a friend I called every day, at least he knew my thoughts every day, “says N. Narmontaitė with sensitivity.
She says that she is rewarded for having recently had the opportunity to see G. Balandytė for the last time and say goodbye.
“I felt and knew everything. More recently, a few days ago, just when we said goodbye, because she wanted to see me, I went to Kaunas. She took my hand, tears fell on her, she had regained consciousness for a while, but I already realized that it was the last time I could see her. However, it is impossible to get used to such thoughts.
As an actress, she was incredibly playful, interesting, and at the same time very profound. Never in his life, even with the worst illnesses, he was afraid and said until the last minute: “I really want to live.” It is a great loss, “the actress complains.
She makes no secret of the fact that, following the path of acting, G. Balandytė was like a guide star, showing her the right path.
“I am completely happy that I had to meet her. If I remember every afternoon when I worked at Kaunas Drama Theater, being with her at home was a great celebration. And I’m not even talking about his culinary stuff … He was a very understanding person.
When I graduated from the conservatory, the only theater I wanted to go to was Kaunas because I worked there, I was very impressed with her, she was a reference actress for me and I thought it would be a pleasure to work with her on stage. And he had such a thing … ”, N. Narmontaitė speaks with tears in his eyes.
