Of her numerous film roles,[2] one of the best known one[3] is that of a carnivorous plant from the 1977 black comedy Dinner for Adele.[4]

During 1980–2005 she was married to actor Oldřich Kaiser, with whom she had daughter Karolina in 1983. (Karolina is a stage actress as well.)[3]

In her later years her struggle with weight attracted media attention,[5] and in 2011 she was the host of the TV show Jste to, co jíte ("You are what You Eat" (the Czech title is a pun, akin to "it/eat").[6] Before that for 7 years she was a co-host of the TV show about food, Pochoutky ("Delicacies").[3]
