about

Hana Vitova (born Jana Laskova), was born on 24 January 1914 in the family of famous opera singer Hanus Lasek, who was a brother of Rudolf Lasek, engineer and landlord of the house No.66 on Hyblova street in Czech Trebova. Hana Vitova launched her acting career shortly after her studies on conservatoire in Prague. She starred in Osvobozene Theatre, Theatre in Olomouc, Theatre of Vlasta Burian, Theatre of Oldrich Novy, Svandovo Theatre and in others. In 1932 she started making movies and until 1945 she played in more than fifty movies. During World War II she was popular amongst German directors and she changed her name to Hanna Witt. Her last big movie role was a main character in parody "Poacher's hide-and-seek," which was made shortly after the war. Marked by collaboration, she was a persona non grata in Czechoslovak movie making, so she traveled around the republic performing as an actress and a singer. In 1966 she made her last movie "End of August in Hotel Ozon." She was also a songwriter and translator of English, German and Russian fiction Hana Vitova died lonely, bitterish and abandoned on 3 March 1987.
