Comedienne Libuse Havelkova has died at the age of 92. Havelkova is beloved in the Czech Republic and Slovakia for her performances in Jirina Pokorna-Makoszova's films and Ladislav Rychman's landmark musical 'Hop Pickers' (1964). At the beginning of her career, Havelkova worked on a range of projects in both cinema and theatre with early mentor Vaclav Krska. Although she tended to favour working in television and theatre, Havelkova turned out for adventurous filmmakers like Vaclav Vorlicek, Oldrich Lipsky, Vojtech Jasny, Karel Kachyna, Jiri Menzel, Juraj Herz, Dusan Hanak and Jaromil Jires, innovators who warmly embraced her talent. She was an eye-catching performer with an ability to make people laugh.
