About
Eliška Balzerová (born 1949 in Vsetín) is one of the most prominent Czech actresses of her generation, equally at home on stage and screen. She became a household name through the role of Dr. Alžběta Čeňková in the television series Hospital at the End of the City, for which she won the BAMBI award in Berlin in 1982. In 2011 she received the Czech Lion for Best Supporting Actress for the film Women in Temptation. Since 2003 she has performed the one-woman show Můj báječný rozvod, playing every character herself - a production that holds the record as the longest-running staging of Irish playwright Geraldine Aron's play in any single country.
